To download the SVCI Ford/Mazda IDS software and or drivers, you must create an account on the manufactures site. Once you do login to the manufactures site, you then need approval to download software and or drivers! vxdiag IDS released frequently software update, download software via mega links directly.

SVCI j2534 is less stable than vxdiag when performing online programming. Some have reported crashed issue during module programming.

vcx nano is cheaper than svci.

For ecu programming purposes, better go for vcx nano instead of svci.
