Hey guys

Quick question. Does the IIDtool BT do everything the EAS BT tool does?

IID BT Tool is far superior to the EAS one as you can change CCF files and a lot more.

As above. EAS will only deal with air suspension.

IID will do everything

Is it worth getting one of these IID BT as an interested but not a mechanical person.
Electronics is more my field, that being why the question, and preventing having to go to dealers if a fault etc is shown?
Or should a non car engineer not get involved/or worry about such things.
I had code readers and reset units for previous cars like Rover 75 etc. John

Hard to say really; I consider the convenience of mine to justify the price even if it isn't financially beneficial (which it is for me anyway). I would say it would be a good thing for you to have.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

I heard that Britpart are bringing out a new device with more functionality at same price as the IID sometime late 2016.....don't ask me for any more details. Don't have any  Visitor from fullfatrr.com

I have the Gap IID BT one and personally think they are worth their weight in gold. As LFW say's probably won't earn you anything but could potentially save you a lot based on Stealer prices. Mines in Glove box all the time.

Where did you hear it?

I can't see that it'd be possible to reach the point that the IID is at for any diagnostic tool on launch, let alone with the improvements that are coming to the IID...  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Yeah Col, agreed. I have the EASControl BT whihc i used to calibrate my suspension and its saved me already in dealer charges. Just bought a IID Tool from here now, so selling the EASControl 3.0 BT if anyone interested.
