There is an update on the RAC (If you have one)

I have no idea what has changed yet, but when I connected mine earlier it did an update (which is the first time since I have had mine that it has updated anything). Reformed

Picked it up the other day too. Saw no difference so must just be fixes.

Anyone know what bit he's working on next?

When i emailed Storey the other week he said the good functions were removed because LR/BMW changed their BCM module supplier so the coding changed and some people have had problems. [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]

Hmm. Whilst the software did what I needed it to do initially - a reset on the air suspension - I'm beginning to think maybe I bought the wrong tool and would have been better off spending more on something that is more fully developed and has proper backing. If this one is a part time project which appears to be the case then I can't see it being developed much given the breadth he's trying to target (P38, discovery, and L322).

my thoughts are that the next 2 months are crucial to the RAC's future...storey now has the IIDtool to contend with, and can lose sales to it..

As far as I can see there will be a steering angle sensor L322 module and a load of stuff for the P38a and Discovery developed in the next two months. Maybe I'm wrong but I can't remember lots of people complaining that they needed to calibrate their steering angle sensor (apart from after reconnecting the battery, which doesn't require any tools other than the steering wheel itself).

I guess he'll work on the thing people ask for the most. I haven't asked for anything myself so I'm not complaining, but I'm not holding out hopes for significant advances on the L322.

i brought the RAC not so much for the fault resetting but for the ability to change/play with the settings for lighting etc..at the moment this feature is limited but i'm hoping it'll be sorted soon.

2017 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

I bought one last week and it's still finding it's way to me.

I'm another one who bought it for the setting mods more than fault finding.

Please Storey make it happen Smile
