Thread: Hawkeye vs nanocom

I have a Hawkeye and I think of the biggest difference is Hawkeye doesn't allow you to change anywhere near as many settings as Nanocom. I had a Nanocom for my D2 and have Hawkeye for my D3.

i think the back-up from Nanocom is better than Hawkeye.

What Ean said.

I had both I found the nanocom froze or wouldn't clear things sometimes but the Hawkeye would clear the fault or reset when nanocom wouldn't. The Hawkeye if you licence D2 w you get both TD5 and V8, nanacom only allows one or the other. I used both on my D2 I owned.

yes, yes yes.... x2 ive had both and the hawkeye does it the 1st time , everytime, the other gave me nothing but trouble... nanocom, it only has a couple of functions that the hawkeye wont do, but its no good unless it all works.

I have them both cos they complete each other, hawkeye is a bit rudimentary but 100% reliable without being able to record logs or used as board instrument(i'm using it always to read fault codes) while nanocom has much more features and can do things that hawkeye can't(record live data logs, load up fuel maps and synk second hand fobs) but it's not always spot on with diagnostics, it can missbehave in relation with ACE(wrong fault codes), SLABS(mixes up ABS sensors or misses SLS fault codes), BCU(alters settings without request) also it can give some false codes when it comes to NNN ECU though it works well on all live readings.
