Discoberry - I haven't seen a side by side comparison of the features between the Nanocom and the FaultMate so cannot confirm your request. I'm not sure that even Blackbox have this information in a customer-friendly format, and if they do they have not shared it with their distributors as far as I know.

This is a large part of the reason why Hard Range is not distributing Nanocoms yet, as I cannot answer such questions with confidence.

The touch screen on the Nanocom is nice, but obviously cannot hold as much info as a PC/laptop display. When I get my grubby mits on the P38 module for the Nanocom I will revisit this assumption.

Nanocom licensing is pretty simple as you have already figured. The Disco 2 V8 needs the NCOM15 Motronics V8 EMS unlock code and the NCOM13 Disco 2 systems (excl EMS) unlock code. Both are included in the NCOM04 package advertised on the BBS site. To add coverage for Disco 2 TD5 EMS you would simply purchase the NCOM11 unlock code. To add the Defender Puma you would purchase NCOM12 and NCOM14. That's all.

The Nanocom is not locked to a vehicle VIN, just the model and EMS you have purchased unlock codes for.

By comparison, most people think of the FaultMate MSV-2 as a single VIN device. It can be licenced as single-vehicle and/or multi-vehicle, although multi-vehicle licences are more expensive. For example, my MSV-2 has a single-vehicle licence for my 1999 P38 (licence purchased with the hardware) and a single-vehicle licence for my 2001 TD4 Freelander (added later). Subsequently, I have added multi-vehicle P38 licences for selected ECU's/modules as I need them for my other P38 and to help out mates.

Cheers, Paul.
