- Access is through a paid subscription, without finding an installer, licence file or hardware dongle.
What does the catalog provide?
Microcat provides the Ford and Lincoln catalog workflow: VIN-based vehicle selection, an assembly tree with exploded diagrams, genuine OEM numbers, quantities and replacement chains. Review the model, year, engine, gearbox, equipment and market in the vehicle record. Ford applications can differ between markets and change within a model year; check production-date notes and conditions on each part or replacement.
For a first lookup, follow the VIN-search procedure or read the Microcat overview. The download comparison explains installed databases and browser access.
