Cant help with Defender TD5 reading a DII TD5, but my DII Nanocom happily reads Defender TD5 engines,most useful.

Thanks it now looks like I hoped it would be, seems the same Nanocom will read the TD5 engine on Defender or Discovery whichever you have enabled.

Looks good for reading the Discovery TD5 engine with the Defender unit, Let me know how you get on and if necessary we can set up the loan.

a defender td5 nanocom CAN read the disco 2 td5
a disco 2 td5 nanocom CAN'T read a defender td5

It seems that both units can read engine functions, I went to my pages on the nanocom site and I have the same set up as Bigeee shows on the previous page of this thread.
i.e. engine management for defender and discovery.

so they can both read each other?

that kind of makes sense as they are the same engine

Well,

I just checked my unlock code and it shows defender and discovery for TD5 engine management.

Cheers

Beaten to it by a minute or two, will be good to get back on the road to finally get a chance to see what info the nanocom gets out of the disco.

Yes that's what I hoped when I started out, I suppose, that they use the same engine management, because when I look into my ECU I see functions which I don't have they just don't connect them, I think this is pretty standard in the auto industry they just make the minimum of different components, I can remember when some cars had standard wiring looms which had connections for every option they just hook up the bits you pay for.
