Vehicle Data Recorder (VDR) Adaptor Kit

The VDR Adapter Kit allows you to use your existing VDR with the Ford Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) laptop.

The VDR Adaptor Kit contains the following components:

  • IDS PC to VDR Adapter
  • IDS VDR Power Supply

(Note:Why do we need a new VDR power supply? - When VDR was used with WDS, the WDS had the capabilities of powering the VDR up through the VI-1 cable (the VI-1 cable is used to connect the VDR to WDS). With IDS, the VDR connects to the PC through the VI-2 adapter (IDS PC to VDR adapter) and either the VCM or VMM Host USB cable. The IDS PC USB port cannot supply enough power to the VDR resulting in the need for an external VDR power supply).

To order the Vehicle Data Recorder (VDR) Adaptor Kit, call 1-800-ROTUNDA (768-8632) and select Option # 1.

The Rotunda Part Number is 164-R9536
