Gap Diagnostic IIDTool BT essential or nice to have?

Thanks guys.

Decided to bite the bullet and order the Gap BT tool. So it's leaving QLD express post today and fingers crossed it arrives before next Thursday.

Will also purchase LR roadside assist for piece of mind (in addition to my RAC roadside) as this covers a tow back to the nearest LR dealership (vs just 300km covered under my RAC).

One question. The GAP tool is locked to one VIN number for advanced functions. I'm assuming once it arrives you input your VIN number in the first instance?

cheers

You register it online via the tool and your device.

Noted, thanks. But this doesn't include your van according to their PDS, just he vehicle. The van is included within their standard towing limits of up to 300km round trip, but not the extended benefits. That could pose a tricky situation.

Yes, but with a number of caveats/limits - interesting reading [bigwhistle] (like all quasi legal documentation).

I've had a Rovacom Iq and now have a gap.

You can't say bad things about items or shops etc on this forum. So just read the first line again and again. For me the peice of mind is not being able to clear codes and do fun stuff. But knowing what the light on the dash means so I can make a choice.

The GAP tool may not be essential, but over the life of hopefully long LR ownership it will pay for itself.

For the record, I've had no issue with either the Nanocom Evolution or the Rovacom IQ and I've done both reflashing and CCF changes with both. Again, I've no experience with GAP and can make no comments as to how they compare.

Have you tried to do a suspension calibration, or looked at the data on the screen and realised it isn't even possible? The nanocom is probably better then the IQ. I've used a mates evolution and nearly bought one until the IQ came out and was cheaper
