Discovery 2 > Body Control > BCU & Transmission:

Scrolled down:

Also looked at Discovery 2 > Body Control > Warning & Sounders (incase Alarm was in there)

Nguruve · Jan 30, 2018

Discovery 2 > Body Control > Warning & Sounders > Force Outputs (some of the options under this section)

If you can't find some setting for Alarm nowhere then that tool is full of sh*t, it's something about programming not force outputs , in that case send that tool back

Nguruve · Jan 30, 2018

Agreed. By the way, what does "Force Outputs" mean?

Thank you for your help.

sierrafery · Jan 30, 2018

It's testing the circuit for what you selected by forcing an output to it for example in warnings if you give it to "glow plug" the glow plug warning light should come on ...and so on for the others

Nguruve · Jan 30, 2018

Right... I think I understand. So if I were, for example, to "Force Output" the "Robust Immobiliser" it would simply immobilise the car?

sierrafery · Jan 30, 2018

Yes i think so even though this "robust immobiliser" is not even a D2 thing, it's specific for others like e.g Freelander, on the D2 is officially called "passive immobiliser"... IMO somebody really messed up that Lynx's menu

Well, well... The chap at Paddock dealing with the return says they're quite aware that the Lynx Evo doesn't work very well with the Discovery 2. Wish they'd just said that before.

Jamiegreen · Feb 13, 2018

Well hopefully others can avoid now after seeing the fun you had using it for a d2

som that EVO thing was an evolution by involution cos the ''classic'' lynx worked well...thei should haave called it Lynx INVO

Nguruve · Feb 16, 2018

"Evolution" is supposed to be based on random chance. Buy a product named after that theory, and who knows what you'll get! Thankfully no big bang was involved this time...

Just to add from experience avoid Lynx like the plague the customer service is woeful and the product mediocre compared to others don't be taken in by all the from Omitec who do Testbook blather and the glossy ads in the magazines. Unfortunately it was too late to return by the time I realised I'd bought a pup.

Are you talking about the original Lynx or the evolution? I have the original lynx and it is excellent. Perhaps with the evolution it went wrong when they translated the software into a phone app.

Just bought a lynx Evo for my 98 Discovery with EDC. I programmed a spare alarm fob and it imobilised the fuel pump DDS. Seems it interrupts the handshake to the 10AS unit. Not much use with very few functions. Hawkeye ordered

Personally when forking out the cash for this i was exited to have what i thought was a sophisticated bit of kit to leave in the 110.
It's alright but the live data is pretty weak and i'd like if the app plotted the data so you could analysis it after a drive.
I'm considering getting another diagnostic tool as well to be fair, especially now Britpart have decided to sack in their own Diagnostic App and use "Auto Diag" now.

Price = 3/10
App = 5/10

Something bloody odd just happened. I got a pop-up warning through Google Play declaring:

"Lynx Evo
This app tries to use your device to commit advertising fraud"?

Screenshot from my phone is shown below.

The app is still on my phone, but it is missing from my list of apps on google play - anyone know what the heck's going on?

dean68uk · May 1, 2019

I had the same message last night. I uninstalled the app for now.
