Yes, IDS 130.07 supports the 2016 Mustang 5.0 (S550, Coyote V8) — no problem there.

For the OBD2 interface, Ford IDS requires a VCM 2 (Vehicle Communication Module II) or compatible clone. Here's what works:

Recommended:
  • Ford VCM II (original or good quality clone) — this is the standard interface for IDS. Connects via USB to your laptop and via the 16-pin OBD2 connector to the car.
  • Make sure it's the IDS-compatible VCM II (not the older VCM I which doesn't support newer protocols).

What to look for when buying a clone:
  • Must support HS-CAN + MS-CAN (your Mustang 2016 uses both)
  • Firmware should be updatable through IDS
  • Avoid the cheapest ones (~$20-30) — they often have communication issues. A decent clone runs around $80-150.

Important: A generic ELM327 or J2534 passthru will NOT work with IDS for full dealer-level diagnostics and programming. IDS specifically requires VCM II hardware.

So in short: VCM II + USB cable + OBD2 (16-pin, already on the car) — that's all you need.
