Nanocom. Definitely Nanocom IMO.
We have multiple warning lights along with transmission fault coming up. Cars suspension is lowered etc. We're looking at doing a long trip to Alice Springs soon and don't want to be stranded. The mechanic has suggested we buy a diagnostic tool. What is the best one? We have done much research and are keen on the icarsoft i930 but not sure whether to get generation 1 or 2. We simply want to be able to clear codes, which they all seem to do, but narrow down to specific fault so we can then get the fault repaired. Does anyone have one of these tools? If so, are you happy with it? Will it do all diagnostics and specify individual faults?
We have already cleared the codes twice at the mechanic's, replaced the battery, and brake light switch but codes remain. It's now difficult to get out of 'park'.
The other tool we were looking at was the Hawkeye but big price difference. We don't want something too complicated just something that's easy, not too expensive and will diagnose specific faults in the computer system, particularly if we're in a remote location.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
We have only had this car for 6 weeks, 2 of which we haven't been able to drive it. I realise this is the case for any relatively new vehicle these days so if there's a way we can diagnose new problems, that would be great.
Nanocom. Definitely Nanocom IMO.

Nanocom, D2 TD5 only.
In fact, I believe there is a group buy on right now. Head over to the market section and check out under the Group Buy section. Also, look under Electronic Diagnostics Systems for more info.
The Nanocom is not 'cheap', but it's cheap compared to being stuck. You can even mount it 'permanently ' to monitor temps etc.
thats my two bob's worth.

IIDtooBT, BT it to a tablet and get a large screen, it allows you to see live data in graph form also so you can compare ie each cylinder readings against one another. Calibration of air suspension is easy etc.
You can email your data directly.
The support is fantastic.
Only negative is it is locked to your vin.
IIDTool. It does so much more. You don't need a bluetooth connection as it will display on the dash. Bluetooth is better though.

I've just got a D3 and have sold my nanocom I had for the Defender. I liked it and mainly bought it to do the ecu remap and the instrument mode was handy as well as the coolant warning alarm. I've no experience with any other diagnostic tool but would like some advice on which one to get. I could just buy another nanocom, or maybe something else. What do the others do that a nanocom doesn't? is the Gap tool the go? What about the one BAS sell with their remap, what does it do? I 'may' do a remap in the future but probably in the mean time just need the diagnostic features in case of trouble.
