Hey
So can people let me know what these things can do ie the 600 dollar one. When it says vin locked does this mean it will only perform all the function s on one vehicle right?
So what exactly does the basic one do?
Thanks guys

[LandyAndy]

Its vin locked to your vehicle.You can do everything on your vehicle,you can only do basic fault reading on your mates vehicle.
A cheap way out for you,get somebody nearby who wants to help you.They can have your vin added to their unit for a pretty reasonable cost.

And the best place to buy?
Not that the price would vary much I imagine

make sure you buy the iiDTOOL-BT (the blue tooth one), the non blue tooth ones are the older ones. The Blue tooth will work on your smart phone or table and allow you to email graphs and fault codes direct to your pc for later analysis also. it allows you to record live data that you can save and email.

Duckworths has been the best priced in recent times.

As the other guys have said, the Bluetooth version has lots of advantages.

To give you in detail what these things can do here would take hours.... so I'd suggest you download the manual here and have a read:

I purchased mine though Duckworth parts in the UK - got a great price and great service.

If it gets you mobile even once it pays for itself.

It's a modern tool for a modern toolbox in a modern vehicle.

I got mine from there as well. Delivered inside 7 business days and price was pretty good.

You guy's have to stop buying from Duckworths. Dan's getting too busy to keep up with my extensive list of spare parts orders.

I can't find the IID Tool on the Duckworths site. What search parameter did you use. I must think differently to them[bigsmile1]

There was a group buy on here.... it ended some time ago, but Dan from Duckwork's has honoured it for everyone that I know of that has contacted him..

I just emailed "Dan.Roberts AT duckworth.co.uk" ( Obviously with the correct @ symbol) it was £345.00 at the time.

The £ has had a hard time recently though... so not sure if that is the current price.

[LandyAndy]

BMKal just got one,send him a PM to see where/how much.

It's a fantastic piece of kit to have. Among everything else it's great for beach driving - just add a 30-40mm offset on the supension and it will be high enough for the rutted sand tracks and won't lower at 50! Who needs LLAMS?

Both are very useful - for speed and convenience Llams wins hands down..... but if you don't have llams, you are right the IIDtool is a fantastic second option.

That's pretty much what I was thinking.

The IIDtool web site instructions say not to leave it plugged in so I would have to do that each time I wanted to change the suspension height. I need to change the height quickly as I will be dropping it down below access height to help my disabled wife get into and out of the car. This is frequently done with me either parked illegally or holding up a line of cars waiting to drop people off too. So I'll buy the Llams kit for that reason and get the IIDtool after that.

Have to spend the kid's inheritance some way.[smilebigeye]

I use my LLams at access height - 20mm every time my 80+ year old mum gets in and out of the car and it's perfect. Also very handy for very low car parks when I've got stuff on the roof. [wink11]

On the other hand, IID primarily sits in the glove-box and gives me a really useful tool should I need it when remote. But it has lots of functionality that can be used for far more. I think Tombie summed it up perfectly.

I also have Llams and an iiD tool which I leave plugged in. The tool is ok to leave plugged in so long as you disconnect the phone app. If you just turn off with app connected it can keep vehicle ECUs awake causing battery drain. This could happen if you've been running some live values on the phone app and forget about it but it's not a show stopper if the vehicle is started again within a reasonably short period. I did read a note from Patrick of Gap that they were fixing the issue but don't know if that's now done or in beta testing.

I still see Llams as the most convenient option for suspension height changes and if I had my time again would still purchase both Llams and iiD.

I purchased my tool from Gap-Diagnostic Inc in Canada. Arrived in Adelaide within seven days at an all up cost of A$745. Was going to be charged ~ A$1100 by Britparts agent in Perth! A no brainer!

I used my Bluetooth IID tool recently after not using it for awhile. Because it hadn't had the latest software update it wouldn't sink to the car.

Learning: Make sure you update the firmware to the latest version your device (iPad etc) has prior to heading away without a means to update the tool.
