Diagnostics tool for d2

Blackape · Dec 22, 2016

Hi what's the best diagnostics tool for a discovery 2 td5 without having to remortgage

neilly · Dec 22, 2016

The general list for DIY home use is.

Nanocom evo.
Hawkeye ( be aware they have an unlocked model coming out in Jan)
Lynx.

I have a nanocom, reason is it also programs second hand keys using the code on the fobs microchip. AFAIK the other require the full "bar code " .

Cheers

Thanks for the info

The "best" is the Testbook T4, but that would require a remortgage, it's what the LR main stealer uses.
Most D2 owners who do have a diagnostics code reader have gone for either Nanocom, Hawkeye or Lynx.
Operationally, they're largely much of a muchness although there are some differences in the area of security. The prices aren't that much different either; a few hundred quid new but you might be lucky and pick up a "pre-loved" device.
The other differences are now probably just in presentation from what I've heard, Nanocom Evolution is a small handheld unit with a colour touchscreen, Hawkeye looks and feels much like other scanners with a navigation button array on the front and the Lynx is an adapter type of unit which plugs into a laptop computer.
The choice is yours.

Got my Hawkeye pre loved, used it plenty of times already, much cheaper than new, dead easy to use

Testbook and Hawkeye are both Omitec

I got a pre used nanocom, and it's great

i have a hawkeye with D2 software installed, purchased recently, which I no longer need as Ive sold the D2 now, could be for sale for the right offer

With three D2's in the family, we needed something, and after playing with an Elms327 USB device we bought a new Hawkeye.

Hasn't disappointed, works well and kept handy at the workshop.

Had both the Nanocom Evo and Hawkeye, as said much of a muchness.
Just don't waste your money buying anything else.

After all the bugs were fixed by the builder with the firmware upgrades IMO nanocom is the best tool on the market right now, it's even smarter than the main dealer's T4

Faultmate msv2 extreme the best offering from Blackbox Solutions, expensive not as expensive as the Testbook T4, but defo better than the Testbook.
