Autophix 7310 Code Reader - the JLR Compatible Version. | |
I fancied getting a code reader. I know the GAP IID tool is the one most people recommend, but it’s quite expensive, and there are different versions like the G2 and G4 that don’t all work with every model. It also has to be linked to a specific chassis number, and in some cases, you need to buy additional licences. With all that in mind, I decided to see what else was out there. After doing a bit of research, I picked one of these up.

They do a few different ones, but the 7310 is specifically for JLR cars.
Obviously, it doesn’t offer everything the GAP tool can. For example, it can’t calibrate deployable side steps. But it does reset clutches (though I’ve not quite got my head around that part yet). It reads and clears all fault codes, lets you do the battery reset procedure, turns off service lights, and so on. From what I’ve seen so far, it seems to cover the functions most people are likely to need. And they don't need linking to a chassis number.
Heres what it does:

Has anyone here got one or used one?
I’ve tried it on my own car and my wife’s so far, and I’m toying with the idea of getting hold of a few on a deal to list on the site. They’d be under £100. Before I do that though, I’d like to see it working on a few different vehicles to make sure it does everything it’s supposed to. If anyone is in the Manchester, Stockport or Glossop areas and wants a car plugged in, a fault code read, a service light reset or anything like that, free of charge, just drop me a PM. 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography in black
