IDS is a piece of diagnostic software from Ford/Jaguar/LandRover. It requires a piece of hardware called VCM, which is a box with 2 cables. Once cable plugs into the USB port of the laptop, another one into the ODBII port of the car. Only the first generation (aka VCM I) will work for X300. I was told that second generation VCM (aka VCM II) won't work for X300.
I have a genuine VCM made by Rotunda and so far (knock on wood) it served me well. Some members had good luck with Chinese clones of the VCM, others didn't. YMMV
You can also use IDS with Mongoose by Drew Technologies. Mongoose plugs into laptop via USB and also into the OBDII port of the car. I was unable to get Chinese Mongoose clone to work with my X300. Some members had better luck with later model Jaguars. YMMV.
