[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 16673905, member: 131874"] There's way to do this with the module in place in the car. Thing is, you need a special (in my case, home-made) cable to hook the VCM to the car. Basically, you start with an OBDII cable extender and remove the wires that allow the VCM to communicate over the CAN bus with the car but keep the rest. IDS tries and fails to identify the vehicle a few times, then it gives up and asks you for a VIN. You feed it a VIN for a car that has the features you want and then go to the "install new module" screen. Go through the work flow to the point where it says "install new module now" and remove the dummy cable so IDS can talk to the vehicle over CAN. When you hit "install" it installs the firmware for the VIN you gave it into the module in the car. There will be a VIN mismatch when it's finished, but Forscan can fix that. [/QUOTE]
