Thanks again for these... they really do make installing and using IDS/SDD much simpler for everyone. I have a standalone laptop running 130 but installed the VirtualBox VM on my primary Windows 10 laptop and it works a treat.

Just one question... are there any benefits to using v138, or indeed drawbacks to using it?

 

I don't think there is much difference, but am led to believe 138 has some missing modules. So i only use the diagnostic side and the interface is a slightly better than 130. I left the Land Rover files off as well, so if your working with Land Rovers then 130 is your only choice.

130 is the best all round choice and as its from 2012. Most of the cars i will ever mess around with are covered (Still would love a x351!).

Yep that's what I thought about v138 being a bit less functional without paying for keys. But as I had only ever used v130 I thought I'd ask an expert!

 

I've migrated from Ford IDS to SDD now i have bought an XF. I have downloaded your files and it boots up successfully, however i cannot get it recognise the mongoose cable corrrectly.

Have you tried full CCF modification as i too wish to enable the voice function on the XF. Fords and X Types are easy as i've done literally hundreds of those, but this beast is giving me real grief.

Do we know if there is a crack available to bypass the 'Download missing CCF Files' request i keep getting?

Also, have you tried using the 'Softwaredownload.htm' file within IDS? that allows full engineering access, however i am still being asked to download missing files from the JLR server

All help appreciated

have you enabled the usb device in the drop down menu at the top of the VirtualBox window?

 

Yes, ive done that, SDD still looking for a VCM. I have a VCM 1 & 2 that i could use, just cannot be bothered this time of night to drag them out!

 

Sorry, It just worked for me, after enabling the 'Drew' USB device.

 

I've just muttered some profanity at it and its caved in and started working...

Next hurdle is to get the network link to go green so it bypasses the 'Download' dialogue box i keep getting...

I have JRL IDS on another PC, which connects to the car, with ALL the necessary calibration files installed into another local folder on the laptop, but for the life of me i cannot find the correct procedure to enable the microphone on the NCM module...

Apparantly thats all i need to do to get the 'COMMS' function up on the display screen.....

 

Unfortunately I have no experience with the XF.

With all the little pointers from the various Forums AND the files provided on this link, i have now managed to enable Jaguar Voice in my XF.:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Massive thanks to everyone who contributed!

A couple of brown trouser moments when it was downloading its modified CCF but after a couple of changes i realized that all this was normal.

 

Alex could you tell me how to activate voice on xf,I cannot find it anywhere,thanks in advance mick

 

Quote from Stratstone when it was in for a service was the usual " No, it cant be fitted unless its an option at build"...

Massive thankyou to a gentleman called Reg Graham from one of the other forums also, he pointed me in the right direction, especially around the Softwaredownload.htm function which gives you full control over the parameter files (to be used with caution though)

Only downside at the moment is even though the COMMS screen shows phone options, i have lost bluetooth. Thats a job for tomorrow i think...

Once again... Thanks....

Alex

 

Thank you very much for the virtual machine !! :-D

a1exward, I have found you post on an other forum : https://www.jaguarownersclub.com/forums/topic/16704-sdd-issues-please-help/
But reggraham answer by PM ?

 

No joy getting the virtual box to work .... seems to be some hardening error ?

Cheers

does the processor in your laptop support virtualisation? And is it enabled in the laptop bios? Also, how much memory has your laptop got? And disk space? Haven't been able to view the image you uploaded on my iPad.

 

Got it working at last ..... had to try it on an older laptop with windows 7 on it which was about to be chucked in a skip lol.
My original laptop had windows 10 on it and really had issues with virtual box .
All is good now and hopefully I will be able to add my new injector codes when they arrive . Been putting up will limp mode for about 3 years now and it's time to put the original injectors out to pasture and maybe I'll be able to accelerate up hills again ��

Thanks for the help with the install ��

 

Glad you got it working in the end.
Odd that you should have issues with VirtualBox on Windows 10 though. If anything, it should be more at home on the latest OS. Oh well. It's working and that's all that matters.

 

Hi Guys so if I choose to setup v130 it will work on my 2014 Jag XF?

 

Hi All,

I need some expert advice please. This is the story so far. I loaded mongoose sdd v130 on my xp laptop, all loaded perfect and it will connect to my 2013 Land rover evoque, wasn't sure if it would read it but it did. All was going great and I got to reset the service required on startup. then I tried to modify some of the settings and when I went to run on sdd to change a setting it came up with a popup box saying that my software was out of date and cannot modify anything until I download an update. Thanks to themindbuddah here on the forum he quickly showed me my mistake. the date had not changed on sdd v130 and was running 09.07.2018.

So then I did a full reinstall of xp and sdd v130 making sure that the date 08.08.2012 was set when installing it and also when connecting it to the car. install went perfect and connects and reads the car automatically, but now any time I try to change or modify any setting in the car I keep getting the popup message that my software is out of date and need to be updated before I change any vehicle module settings

My question is has SDD stored a date setting somewhere in my car because the laptop has a fresh clean build with the correct date 08.08.2012

Is there any way around this, what are my options now.

I would appreciate any help or advice anyone can give me

Thanks

 

Good Morning,

@TheMindBuddah: Thanks for the great job .
I already had V130 and imported V138 successfully. Anyway, I tried to download V125 which seems to be truncated so I couldn't import the appliance. Do you have a proposal for me?

Regards
Dirk

 

I'll have to download 125 at weekend and see if there are any issues with the upload. The base file is running fine on my own laptop. But could have been an issue with the upload. Like I said I'll check at weekend

Thanks. The error, that showed up, was: "VERR_TAR_UNEXPECTED_EOS". That seems to be an issue with the upload.

 

Have you attempted to download the file again? It could be a problem with your download rather than the source file.

 

Oh, err, well ... I should have mentioned: I downloaded the file three times .

 

All works fine now. The problem was my Virtual Box version. I updated the software to the most recent version 5.2.16, which I missed until today. This version was, to my surprise, able to handle the import of the appliance. The old VB Manager from the beginning of the year 2018 failed.

I might give neverware a chance although the machine runs on an old 1st gen. i7 with 16GB and an SSD with more than sufficient speed and also finds our old S-Type.

My apologies.

 

Hi guys. Ive loaded up the virtual machine and got the software running but i can for the life of me get the machine to detect the jlr eobd lead/device.
Im pulling my hair out now....any advise would be great

Cheers dan

 

I've downloaded all the relevant files from you TheMindBudda, many thanks, and a donation to my nearest cat protection charity will be forthcoming.
Also obtained a Mongoose cable today.
After a couple of false starts the virtual machine on my laptop recognised the cable and hooked up to my X-Type.
Next step over the weekend is to work my way through the SDD and get it to programme the CD Autochanger with the head unit.

Rick

 

Hi rick. What did you keep trying to get the laptop to recognise the mongoose cable.....im having a mare. Ive tried 3 different laptops. Im loosing my hair...
Thanks dan

 

Dan,
I'm using a couple of years old Lenovo laptop that's running Windows 8 prior to installing TheMindBudda's files . I'm using the Virtual Machine to run XP Pro and SDD 138.
I followed TheMindBudda's instructions to the letter and found it took a couple of attempts..... including stepping away, having a break and a coffee and going back again. Make sure you go into Details and enable USB and Drew so that the cable is recognised.

Rick

 

After a bit of delving through other threads and posts about using SDD I have worked out how to get my CD Autochanger programmed in the X-Type
I now have a spare cassette adapter should I decide to go back to listening to radio tracks from my phone.

Rick

 

Due to a technical error on my part I ordered too many Mongoose cables and now have two surplus unopened Mongoose cables should any Forum member want first dibs on one. £30 each with free P&P.
PM me for details on making payment.

If no one wants them I will put them up on eBay next month.

Rick

 

I will take one please... Send me a message on how you would like paying... Can you send me an image to awhvehicle@btinternet.com also...

Thanks

Alex

 

Alex I will send you an image in the morning when I get home from work.
