Guys,
Wanting a diagnosis tool for my 2008 tdv8,
Doing some homework looks like there are 4 common ones
IID Gap
RSW all comms mk3
Icarsoft i930
Hawkeye

Whilst I belive the IID is the best, not sure I can justify the money(see below)

I have added to mine some DRLs in the fog lights that show an error mesaage
I have also added led bulbs that flash until started, (I belive there is a setting for this)
So want the tool to sort out the above but also for peice of mind, to just carry in the car.
We are also going to France at Christmas and taking the RR so would like one for that,
Ideally a self contained unit (I have a nanocom for the d2) but don't mind really.
We might be selling the RR in the new year as the horse is off with long term sickness, so no need to tow the trailer atm, so don't want to spend a fortune, but if needs must

Any suggestions or help

Many thanks neil

Take the horse to France, you should get a good price for meat on the hoof.

If Blackbox Solutions cover your car with Nanocom, I'd go with that. You could always sell on to the new owner when you sell the car.
I must keep up, I didn't think RSW covered your year of car.

Not if it's sick. Healthy horse meat is very good

I don't think nanocom support my car

I can't check as I still use XP and it will not allow access

Tillytomp · Nov 25, 2018

Just messaged nanocom to see, they don't list the l322 in my year, but do list support or the sport

Saint.V8 · Nov 25, 2018

Nanocom do a model for your year I believe.

All comms dont.

Hope so, but one saw early ones and later one s

Saint.V8 · Nov 25, 2018

Looks like your right 2010 to 2013 only - sorry.....

Tillytomp · Nov 25, 2018

Can't understand why the sport is supported but not the l322

Tillytomp · Nov 25, 2018

So with the nanocom and the all comms out of the picture, only leaves three
Which one would suit my needs

Icarsoft will only read and clear (most) faults, I have the icarsoft i930. The Gap iid gets every body`s vote over on fullfatrr it will let you program some things.

Blackbox have a new diagnostic system that runs on Android devices called Rovacom IQ, might be worth a look to see if it covers your model year

Unfortunately it doesn't

Hi..I have icarsoft i 930... used once as brand new.. clears faults and provides live data...Cost over £90.
If you are sure it is right for your car..you can have it half price if you are interested.
