Can IDS be installed on a windows 10 laptop? Does anyone have a step by step installation process?

I believe so but may depend on what version of IDS you're using....but it can also be a strange experience as Win 10 may try to install drivers you may not need or want.

Forscan is much more user friendly in that regard.

Forscan runs on Windows, Android or iOS...there's no mention of any other operating system....so I'm not too sure but doubt it.. Suck it and see I guess...it's free to download for a windows based machine.

I'm confused.....

Why is there a dramatic difference in price for FDRS/IDS licence :?:

Ford UK - 1 year licence fee £3372.39 . Total price with VAT £4046.87..... You can can a brand new VCM3 at £1794.00 :!:

Ford Tech Services (Motorcraft) IDS/FDRS 1 year License fee $849.00 (£669.95)
