Thread: Disco II Diagnostic Tools

I've got the hawkeye, and I like it, but if I had it to do over again, I'd probably get something from black box solutions. They seem to do a little more stuff for about the same price.

Has anyone got any Idea on what I should purchase as there is so much out there on the market and reading through find that a lot of them only target a specific area.

I would like to be able to keep track of as many areas as possible at a reasonable cost.

I have had difficulty with workshops and find I am better off doing most jobs myself.

Any help in this area would be great..

Cheers

Definitely Nanocom Evo - BBS service/backup is excellent, although dummies like me have trouble getting to understand some of the intricacies and operation of the many subsystems/options.
Also makes a handy everyday 5 instruments gauge with an accurate engine temp gauge (but still strongly recommend a low coolant alarm), adjustable for any tyre size speedo, duplicate of engine revs, turbo boost and one other I can't recall at the moment.

am trying to learn a bit about these to, can you do any remapping performance increases with the nanocoms or are they purely a dionostic tool
does any one in aus sell them

I have just ordered my Nanocom last night. They are more than just a diagnostic tool and my understanding is that 03 MY on have a flashable ECU, which can be done using Nanocom. I have just asked this question elsewhere and I am waiting on a response.

Dave, I have an MY04 D2a and I sent the recommended Jose from TD5Inside the specified files via the nanocom Evo and he then provided me with the upgraded files which I implemented using the nanocom. I think their special deal for AULRO members is still on ($AU340), and the backup service is top notch. They will fiddle with you until you are happy!!
One happy vegemite.
