    Luckily I don't often venture out in the Big Wide World, the Hobbit goes out to do the shopping and stuff so hopefully we are fairly safe (also the Mrs is a bit of a prepper so well stocked up). New diagnostic tool is super good, but it doesn't seem to fetch any more codes than the icarsoft. It does however allow you to go into the ecu and configure different items and alter suspension heights etc.

    @@Bensgarage Good, nothing I need then! Configure suspension, are you mad... if it works, its configured! Had all that diagnostics with my last P38... cool, I can screw up my height settings! You would probably benefit from dropping the L322 a few inches as I think the lowest setting is too high, you can see that in the way the driver's seat has worn, after years of dragging a left buttock on and off? My P38 would drop to it's bump stops but not the L322?

    It is slightly higher to get in than the TD6, but with the newer Range Rovers you can only adjust the heights of all three settings at once. So if I lower the access height by 20mm then the normal and off road height will come down by 20mm. On our older TD6 you can adjust all three settings separately.

    @@Bensgarage It really comes down to the vehicles use? I only use the highest setting when I'm bored at traffic lights. My old P38s had a greater range of height between normal road and off road? That really was cool at the traffic lights for anyone looking in their rear view, my Daughter loved it... "push the button" now she isn't so impressed but does like rear heated seats and landrover logo with courtesy lights!

    I have exactly the same problem and tried to contact icarsoft but no response. I saw you video and just did what you said to make it work and it worked. change the micro SD or reformat the old one if its still working, plug the scanner in the computer and run the upgrade. it worked , very simple solution to the problem. Thanks a lot, it saved me time and money of thinking of buying another scanner. I thought the scanner is already done for and i had used it only 3 times. thanks alot .

    Ben, I’ve bought the CR Pro, specifically for my Porsche Cayenne, I too am communicating with Barnett because I am not able to get any feedback from the ABS module, it clearly states on the box and advertising that the icarsoft will read the ABS module. Did you get any feedback of codes back from your vehicle from the ABS module? This has been going on for sometime and Barnett has instructed me to do the same actions as yourself. I’ve asked for my money back but he wants to persevere. I think I’m flogging a dead horse.

    Note #2 -- Probably a good idea before you even attempt an update to get at least one or two small (2GB or 4GB) Micro Sd cards. ( Cheap as chips now) ..Take out your original one and put it away safe just in case something goes wrong with an update. I have discovered that you can put a blank Micro sd car in a usb reader , plug it into your pc ... and when you begin the update process just enter the Serial number etc written on the back of your scantool. It will happily do the download to the Sd card in the usb adaptor as if it was the scan tool .. When its done .....Just exit the program and do the safe eject on your USB adaptor. After that ....take the micro sd card put it in the slot of your scan tool ....and then use your USB lead to power up the tool .. It will start in update mode ...just press the "Back" (arrow) button ... and the tool will reboot with the newly downloaded information ( and ...you have your original sd card in case something goes wrong ) ... tried it and it works fine .. I now have a backup copy of the software should i need it ..... thought it might help someone avoid issues.
