Thread: New Nanocom

A word of warning:

Be careful flashing the modules.

I got carried away playing and I updated the transfer case control module and it lost its calibration.

I just got an update from BBS. They have removed the transfer case updates from their site, temporarily, until they include a calibration routine in a later release of the nanocom firmware.

Potentially a good product let down by lack of willingness to answer tech questions and old outdated firmware / software.

I'm guessing the update will be available soon. They let me download a beta version and it worked flawlessly to calibrate the TCCM.

Given there have been 4-5 firmware updates in the last month which support up to MY2012 models it seems a little odd to claim the software/firmware is old/outdated.

I've found BBS have been generally good when you need help with their products, but as they will tell you - they are a diagnostic TOOL manufacturer and do not provide technical support to troubleshooting vehicle issues you discover with that tool.

If you buy any diagnostic tool expecting the manufacturer to walk you through solving vehicle problems - unless you are buying something like TestbookT4 or Land Rover's IDS - you will be sorely disappointed.

After checking 4xforgold's post history, it has become apparent that he has no hands on experience with the Nanocom Canbus module, and his comments appear to be based on internet research he carried out in October 2013 - some 2 months prior to the initial release of the Canbus support in December 2013. I would recommend you treat his comments as being "unreliable".

Does the nanocom have a a support page or forum at BBS. I have the Faultmate but the support page only seems to cover that product and I see nothing about the nanocom. Does it not exist or is is separate and tied to your username.

But I think you have to have a nanocom to get a login.

Yes , looks like you cant see anything until you register with your nanocom id.
Faultmate and nanocom communities don't see each other. Looks to me like the current development effort is nanocom as the next update for faultmate has no date as yet.
