Problem:
Topdon Rlink Lite j2534 device and Mazda IDS V137 software failed to connect with a Mazda8 2.3L MPV. The Rlink platform manager tool detected the Rlink VCI. But the Software had no communication with the vehicle.
Error: VCM USB cable communication error.
Solution:
He didn’t crack the Mazda IDS software.
Topdon 2TB hard drive contains the MazdaTool and FordTool patch. For Topdon Rlink X7 users, download Mazda or Ford patch separately.
For Mazda IDS software, run MazdaTool patch.
Hit “Cracked“, then click “Restore“.
Wait until the restore finishes successfully.
NOTE: Cracking takes time. Don’t close the patch until the cracking is complete.
Close the MazdaTool patch.
Run the patch again.
Cracked Mazda IDS again.
As long as the computer is not turned off, there is no need to crack it for a second time.
Then select the driver as J2534 VCI.
Adapt J2534 VCI successfully.
Run Rlink Platform.
Both Rlink adapter and the vehicle are connected.
Go to Driver Management. Make sure Mazda driver is installed.
Select Rlink mode.
Run Mazda IDS software.
The Rlink scanner now connects with vehicle without problem.
Similar procedure goes to Ford IDS.
NOTE: Rlink J2534 is not compatible with Ford/Mazda IDS software. Requires Rlink X7 or Rlink Lite.
