thought I would bump this thread instead of starting a new one, again the question is
Nanocom Evo or Hawkeye? for disco 2 TD5
What is best one to have? have there been any review test's of the 2 and result's??
It really depends what you want to do with these diagnostic machines. Are you going to be working on your own vehicle or a range of vehicles?
Each unit has it's own pro's and cons so before you can choose between the two, you need to know the sorts of things you are likely to want to do with it?
For example, both units provides live data so you can see what each electronic components is doing eg the MAF/MAP/AAP, but only one of them allows you to create a file and download it for future examination.
When I was working on DII's I never felt the need of that facility so it wouldn't have been an advantage to me.
Just to give a visual idea of this, imagine two identical grids laid on top of each other. When they are perfectly aligned all the boxes are in line, but if you slide the top a bit to the left, there will be a reduced amount of boxes in the middle that are perfectly aligned, with some on the left overlapping and some on the right overlapping.
This is like comparing these two devices, in the middle area of functionality they both have loads of features the same, but on the edges one has stuff the other doesn't have and vice versa.
You need to be very clear about what you want to get done, before you can decide which is the most suitable.
