Not sure what people are doing for power supplies but thought i'd share after seeing a post about a TLC 13.8V supply (think it was about £40 for 30amps - actually found the link https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/SK650762.html i went about finding similar ones. Anyways, tons on Amazon rated as (fixed) 12V to power LEDs etc. I got a 480W (so theoretically 40A @ 12V) 'warehouse' return for £10 and have tested the rheostat and it seems to hold a pretty steady 13.8V no load. Not sure of the current at that voltage yet or how it will do under long term load, but will test and let you know.View attachment 329081
It would be interesting to see a scope trace of the voltage under load to see how stable it is, or if is noisy/"chopped". If clean would be a cheap solution
 
It's a bargain-basement switched mode power supply, how clean do you suppose it'll be? however, it won't matter too much as the starter battery is effectively a big smoothing capacitor.
Depending upon the model you intend to connect it to, 34A @13.8VDC may not be enough - remember that SDD will reject anything below 12.51VDC 'at the module' so you need to take account of volt drop along the harness, corroding ground connections etc. - which is why battery support units are rated at 13.8VDC output.
 
'An Error Has Occurred' when configuring a module - existing or new.
The interface is a genuine VCI and I'm using the v165 VM
This also happened with the v164 installed directly on Win7 x64 but I assumed it was either the Mongoose clone (used on the 13MY) or my installation causing the error. This is happening on a 16MY vehicle but it also happened with a 13MY vehicle....
Has anyone experience similar and found a workaround? When this happened at the dealership it was usually a sign the laptop needed rebooting and/or there were windows updates halfway through installing...
I've tried restarting the VM, updating the VCI, increasing the memory allocation to the VM - still the same.
 
used JLR 165 pro today, i added another smart key and it works perfect' just getting to grips with it, i have a problem with the reversing sensors not working and park assist, and reverse cam ,so fitted a matching " PAM" park assist module learned it in but hasn't solved my issue so will have to have a look elsewhere, any info to assist would be great. seem to have lost the camera on screen and the sound on the system
thanks in advance

Hi the issue is with backdate, needs reinstalling and no back date I will have to update vms which will be this week at some point.
Disable the clock reset date, reinstall sdd 165 and will go away.

sounds like a ccf sync issue somewhere.

Thanks - so to be clear, reinstall with the current date and make sure the VM date is set to not sync with the host PC?

GR - did you already have the various files downloaded for this or did you have to download as part of the key routine? i don't have internet out in the garage so trying to get all it needs in the house first.
Adding a spare key is what i want it for and i just can't get any version to download the files - i'm onto my second laptop and have done tens of builds with every permutation of VM, physical and patch i can find (only get the same install error someone else gets about “Unresolved i18n key “install_jlrma”).
 
needs sdd 165 and windows 10. win7 is cut off and yes it does need internet access usually for DPLA-14C104-LB.vbf file which is being deleted to force a download.
 
All (esp. Pro), many thanks for your help with trying to get a build up and running...in the end i failed and put a v130 VM image from TheMindBuddah - it programmed a new aftermarket key so quickly i didn't even bother with a battery charger and didn't need the net outside. I will persist with the V165 build at some point to explore customisations (would like to stop the wing mirrors turning down in reverse) but spent too much time for now.

If anyone is interested, i can share my 'unattend' file to get fast win10 or 11 builds without touching the computer (based on schneegans.de). If you partition your HD you can keep all your files/programs on one partition and repeatedly reinstall a clean Win + SDD build on main partition which is quite handy - it also strips everything out (based on Chris Titus' debloat tweaks) and lets you uninstall MS Edge...that's where i hit the problem as i simply couldn't find a way to get a standalone IE11 package installed - it kept failing. Even when i could get a IE11 window running, SDD still called for IE11 and failed to start.

The only other contribution i can make that others may not be crazy enough to do is rebuilding a seat belt reel - PM me if yours are sticking and want some pointers.
 
Not quite sure which LR you have, but a quick way to stop reverse mirror dip is turn it off in the instrument pack settings - if you can't find it, put the car in reverse, move the mirrors to where you want them and save to the memory seat position you're using.
 
I've had SDD almost as long as I've have my L322.. every time I've done a code read, there's been nothing gearbox related. Garage plugs in and says nothing current but there's lots of codes which have been recently wiped (i did a clear a couple of months ago when i fixed an unrelated problem)

Why wouldn't these codes show? They were obviously there and it makes sense they were as I've had gearbox problems. Is SDD able to see previously cleared codes?
 
SDD 165 won't install on windows 10, there's an alert towards the end of install about registering stuff then when i try to run the software out complains failed to start because it's side by side config is incorrect

Any ideas?

164 on win 7 is also not working, the software starts but hangs on the SDD logo with the moving dots on the right hand side
