Self Diagnostics, what do you use ?

Hi Guys.

What do you use for your own plug in diagnostics ?

I have a hawk eye which I only have unlocked for a Discovery TD5 and also a nano com for my Disco too.

I know you can get the unlock codes for the L494 sport so I can then access all the data and programming I want, just wanted your opinion on what's the best systems to use out there for our L494's ?

Thanks

Hi Geoffsnook.

Thanks for the reply.

Been having a good look at these Gap IID Tools for the pro it is really expensive but this will give me what I'm after I guess. Seems alot more money then a hawk eye pro ! Can this do more ! I really need to find out if the hawk eye pro covers the L494 like this Gap IID Tool does.

Thanks.

I have a Blue Tooth OBII sender and this connects to a phone app that allows me to read codes and reset fault codes. The App is ODB auto doctor and was not that pricey. will not give the same detail as a GAP tool but GAP doesn't have the features I want also. I use the tool to decide what the fault codes are related to and so far it has been really good. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.

That sounds a pretty good diagnostic tool you have. I have never used the Bluetooth diagnostic tools but I guess it's the way things are going with Apps on phones.

Hawk eye pro still uses a separate screen on its device just wondering if anybody on here uses it in their L494 ?

I must say I prefer the hawk eye over nano com, my Hawkeye for discovery 2 is brilliant with everything ECU, bcu, air suspension and especially the Ace system I can do so much with self tests, ace rock n roll tests, bleeding brakes etc. Was just hoping I could pay out around £300 and have all this for my L494.

Thanks.

Thomas it is not a cheap option, it cost me £1700, but I do a bit of remapping and it is the same kit that allot of pro remappers use, I mainly use it for checking for fault codes before a remap and data logging after.

Yes it's a smart bit of kit I must say Thumbs Up I do quite a bit of land rover work for friends but only on the older discovery 2's. This bit of kit would make it possible for me to do more work on the newer land rovers.

Very interested in this though Mr. Green I guess you can upload map files to this as you say you do remapping.

Just got to get it past the Mrs Rolling Eyes

Thanks.

If you are interested in the Autel contact a company called mobile eco remapping ask for Dave Simpson, they are in weston super mare. He is an official dealer and gives very good support. They are doing the maxisys 908 with 2 years subs. Also there is a facebook group for the tool which is very helpful.
