Community Mongoose (Reprogramming Vehicle Interface) Lending Thread

[rugedraw]

Can you add me to the list please.

Done.

No idea how long the list is but if you could add me to the list, I'd be grateful. If I can figure out something else before it's my turn, I'll let you know. Thanks!

The list is on the 2nd post of this thread. 2-3 months would be my best guess even with me having 2 Mongooses. Lot's of people have been jumping on the bandwagon lately.

To everyone on the waiting list: The list is starting to get long and the wait if you're at the end is about 3 months now. A few other members have posted on here that they are also willing to lend out their Mongooses. In an effort to expedite this: Those of you that are still willing to join in the community Mongoose lend-out program, please post here and I will go down the line to the next person on the waiting list to see if they are willing to do what I do with one of you guys, and I will keep records of everything here.

I love the F-150 community!

I don't see myself using mine for awhile and don't mind loaning it out.

My terms
$550 via Zelle where we don't have to be worried about fees. I will ship the Mongoose to you via UPS with a return label. You update your truck, and send it back to me. Once I receive it and verify the serial number is the same and it works, you will get $500(or less) refunded to you to cover the costs of shipping the item to you and back to me.

@rugedraw Please add me to the list, but I will be out of the country from mid-June through mid-September, so you can move folks ahead of me as needed. I just don't want to get back in September and have a 3-4 month wait (after which I will be gone again!). Thanks for all you do for the community.

Is there anyone is Canada (Ontario) which is willing to rent out their Mongoose?

I wish there was! I have been looking for alternatives meanwhile.

Does it 'have' to be mongoose? Would this work?

I believe that is better than a Mongoose. That is what the dealer uses that has a faster write speed.

Edit: I would ask in the FDRS thread and let the experts confirm.

I'm willing to lend out my cable. Similar deal, my time is worth $500 and you get $400 back. Includes shipping both ways. I'll include a USB to borrow. PM me.

When borrowing a mongoose you still need to register the devise when downloading the driver?

No, I don't think so. You only register it once. Anyone can download the drivers from the website.

VCM 2 is really good.. Works fine You will have a different set up and do have to install the VCM software

I cant believe how big this hasgotten. I remember @rugedraw mentioning this and we talked about how it would go and it exceeded my expectations. I was thinking it would be used but not like it is.

I started this in October and it took 3 months for the first person to do it. Understandably so; sending $500 to a stranger from the internet can present its apprehensions. Once the first one did it, it has been pretty constant. Just mailed my two Mongooses out yesterday to California and Kansas. It's been cool to be able to help other people get their trucks right.
