Folks,

Advice sought please. I'm looking at buying something capable of editing the CCF and reading fault codes etc. What and why should I buy? My preference is for a PC based solution, but thats only based on previous experience with my X5. This IIDTool (BT) gadget seems to be the weapon of choice, your thoughts and comments please.

Secondly, CTEK conditioner/chargers. Which model is recommended for a FFRR? --RiDDO

IID, nothing else even comes close

msx7.0 on the Chargers. Great bit of kit.  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
FFRR 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography Santorini Black.
KIA E-Niro 4+
2021 Discovery 5 D300 MHEV commercial

Thanks Mikey, why does nothing else come close to the IIDTool?

NMJ, thanks for the CTEK advice, appreciated. --RiDDO

riddo, do a forum search for iidtool and you'll see what it does and also that it gets great support from the GAP chaps.. ... - .- -.

Powerful is a bit of a subjective term, but it can do things that SDD can't.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK
Discovery 3 TDV6 Auto HSE Zambezi Silver

i had SDD on a laptop for a bit, and IID is definitely better, as well as a third of the price (based on a years sub to SDD and buying the mongoose cable)

Can the dealers tool enables features on early cars, that were only supposed to be for the later models?

Sat Nav on the move?

FULL CCF editing?

Raising and lowering suspension heights?

I didn't think so. Back in your box

No, the dealers tool can't

It is very, very limited in CCF editing ability, only the very basics are allowed

SNOTM has been removed from SDD

SDD will only let you calibrate the suspension heights, not raise/lower by a determined height (unless this has been recently added, but I see no reason why JLR would let the dealer do this)

SDD will also only let you put the correct firmware for that year onto the car, not the later firmware needed for the additional features

Next

In essence Mikey loves IIDTool, and will defend its functionality/usefulness vigorously.

Zirconblue had SDD on a lappy for a while, but prefers IIDTool to SDD.

I've read the User Manual for IID.....looks like the only solution is IIDTool. Hmm. --RiDDO
