Well decision time,

I think I'll invest in the IID unit sold by Gap Diagnostics.

One final question :- If you run autoscan (if its possible), can you upload the file to your pc and print it out?.

Haylands I see you have fitted electric fans, I did the same to my classic Kenlow twin 12inch electric ones, hard wired to the battery It originally had a multi blade viscous fan that always kept running.
When the electric fans kicked in on a hot day it sounded like a jumbo jet throttling up to take off.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

You can email, or print out (with a Bluetooth printer) the codes and analyse that way
Same with the live data/logs

Thanks Mikey

So the IID tool can do everything that the dealer software can do or is it lacking something I will never conceive of needing?

The IID is still being developed, but already, it can do things that even the dealer tools can't do

Hi Guys

Just a few precisions:

Quote:

I prefer hard wired diagnostics, wi-fi etc is fine but if there is a comms drop out ??.

Quote:

And, all those ccf items can be done without the tool anyway, through the dash menu.

True for basic user personalization while more in dept settings can only be changed with a diagnostic tool (tow bar etc…).

Here's our license policy from firmware V3.0:

Standard diagnostic functions (free of charge, all supported vehicles for the IIDTool BT, one single vehicle platform for non BT units)
• Faults read / clear (All ECU’s)
• Live values
• Control outputs
• Service / test functions (service interval reset (oil service), electronic parking brake functions etc)

Enhanced diagnostic functions (VIN locked, tool comes with one license, additional license at around 60 GBP, DA6407. All supported vehicles for the IIDTool BT, one single vehicle platform for non BT units):
• ECU Flash
• Component and system calibration (including suspension height adjustments, when air suspension is fitted to the vehicle)
• Car Configuration File editing capability (for example, activate the reverse screen after retrofitting the rear camera)
• Advanced functions including backup / restore, save profiles – vehicle system settings and
configurations are read and stored as a backup file for a restore function, various changes
to systems (e.g. suspension height) can be stored and changed quickly

Unit transferring:
-Transfer of ownership (unit is sold) costs 25 GBP paid by the new owner. This includes an unlock code for his vehicle*. The enhanced functions will no longer work on the previous owner vehicle(s) once transferred.
-Transferring the unit from one vehicle to another is free of charge for the owner of the tool*. Enhanced functions will no longer work on the previous vehicle once transferred.

*Keep in mind that a non BT unit can only work on one vehicle type (L322 2006-2009 for example) while an IIDTool BT will work on any supported vehicles (L322, L405 etc...). Please consult our website for more details.

Hope this helps.

Thanks "PatGAPinnov" for the info, its very useful and re-assuring .

UPDATE: I ordered the IID Diagnostic Tool DA6401 a couple of days ago, looking forwards to having a plug and play .

Is there a site that explains the error code meaning and suggests a solution/s ?.
For example : Vag-com diagnostics + Ross tech Wiki website for code description and possible solutions

Thanks

theres a fault code link in the wiki.. ... - .- -.

As an IID BT user, I just thought I'd add another vote of confidence here.

It's a great tool and support from Pat and co. is excellent.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK
Discovery 3 TDV6 Auto HSE Zambezi Silver

Me to. The dealer said it wasn't possible to turn my auto folding mirrors off.......two minutes with the IID BT tool and sorted. I just used my phone as the bluetooth display, works a treat. 2010 5.0 SC Autobiography

I just got my BT version. So much easier to use than the non-BT version.

Managed to get my voice activation back to life after about 2 years of it not working.

I can also view my turbo actuator issue in real time, which will hopefully help with the diagnosis.

Patrick is such a helpful guy to deal with and always takes time to respond to queries.  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

I've got the BT IID and can verify that the support from Pat and Gap is first rate. I've already used it to change a number of settings in my Car Configuration, reset faults, updated the bluetooth ECU and the Body ECU, and updated my Suspension ECU when I went from a failed Hitachi Compressor to an AMK one.

I've used it with my Android Phone and my iPad and it's worked faultlessly.

I've seen the IID tool inc VAT for £258. The non BT one.
i'll be buying one tomorrow time permitting. (LR parts Liverpool)
What does CCF stand for please.
