The Gap iiD tool is fantastic but if you don't want to get deep into your ecu with flashing ccf files etc, then the cheaper iCarsoft is equally as good.

it would be worth comparing iCarsoft LR with 4Dcan software, especially useful functions such as suspension height calibration, etc.

Had 4 Rangeys. My iiD tool paid for itself on my first fault, fixed air susp fault n cleared board fault. Would have been $2k at stealership. Got free transfers to all my new cars. Did the free firmware update for my new 2017sdv8 sport dynamic. Turned off the auto stop start nonsense with the multican 566 trick. Love my iid tool. Allways in the car. Wouldnt have a Rangey without one.

Going to invest in one for my Sport .Thank you for taking the time to explain the differences between the two . IID for me thats cleared that up .

Another interesting video as always, Ben. Glad the hobbit's seeing better. Scary stuff any kind of eye surgery.

How much do you want for that icarsoft?

A lot of these faults will be from your flat battery, also the CAN-bus system on these ff’s is noisy and spurious faults pop up all the time. I read faults, make not of any of interest and then clear and re-read any that pop back before digging deeper.

Gap iiD blue tooth.

Hello Ben, The IID tool can change the CCF files. With the steering wheel you have it shows the RECORDER button on the right lower set. If the button is fitted, does the recorder function appear in the configuration? Can it be fitted but not actually do anything? Can this function get turned off if the vehicle battery goes flat? When the VIN in my L322 is decoded and the build set is displayed, it shows the recorder as an item, but does not operate in my L322. Your comment will be appreciated. I am considering the IID tool to turn functions off and on as well as view and clear faults. Does your one operate on an iPad, or is it an Android pad? Regards

Firstly the IID tool works on my iPad (ios), as for the button on the steering wheel I have no idea. Would be best to get in touch with GAP Diagnostic who make the IID tool and see what they say. You would have to get in contact with them if you wanted to change any CCF files and they then send you the new files over to flash your ecu with.

Perhaps go through and calibrate the suspension, you only need the GAP tool and a tape measure. It might then clear the fault.

@Bensgarage

Жыл бұрын

Depends what you want to do. In my mind it is a must for any Range Rover owner to have a GAP tool, but they are expensive. You get what you pay for though. The GAP tool is almost a dealer level spec tool, where you can calibrate the suspension, flash ccf files, authorise functions that normally only the dealer can do.

No CCF's, no nothing. GAP informed me that the 2002 model (mine is a Td6) due to his BMW architecture, there is no CCF's and lost a lot of functions

I've always done it like this, if there is an option on the tool to disconnect from the car. Some cheaper scan tools don't have that option, and in that case I have always switched off the ignition prior to removing the tool. I've never had a problem, but I guess it might be wise to in the future.
