Equipment Solutions is pleased to announce the introduction of the IDS kit C in response to considerable feedback from the Ford Europe markets to provide assistance in meeting the increased demands resulting from changes to the warranty claims process.

Kit C has been specifically designed to offer comparable diagnostic functionality to the IDS kit B but at a fraction of the original kit B price. It provides increased diagnostic and ETIS capacity for the workshop whilst offering outstanding value for money.

Kit C combines a high specification, semi-rugged, standard laptop, with a large, bright 15.4 inch LCD screen, and a Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) as a fully supported package Kit C is one of only three approved packages to be supported by the Ford IDS technical hotline and offers added peace of mind as it is backed by a comprehensive 2 year warranty scheme, similar to IDS kit A and B.
