I was all set to buy the IID tool for my motor, but upon looking I see various options. Can anyone tell me if I am correct here...

Nanocom - the best PC free option that allows brake work and config editing.

IID - The best smartphone version.

Lynx - Second best smartphone.

JLR - Same as nanocom but PC based with cracked hard and software.

Is that about the jist of it? I am now swaying towards nanocom for all the price difference.

I use this its cheap and cheerful and does what I need it to do, brakes battery etc etc

Does it allow coding or just reading/clearing faults? IE can I alter heights and such? ...... I also wondered if I could flash the FW on my ford IDS vxdiag nano thing.... maybe worth a try.
I almost bought the maxisys pro years ago when I was working on cars ( remapping etc ) but stuck with delphi and ended up stopping the business due to master issues. Shame as we were making a fortune from it.

Installed SSD 160 on my laptop, VXdiag nano apparently cannot be updated with licences, only the full fat version so I ordered a mongoose cable for JLD. I will update on how I get on

They another vote for the autel AP200. Best value for money smart phone option!
Adjusts suspension I believe, key programming (early mondels with keys anyway), looks at all ecus (not just engine). But no CCF edit.
Depends what you want.

Might just order one for having with me in the car.... might save me sometime 👍😁 Thanks both.

We have IID, SDD and Autologic

IID is the one we always go for first

Cheers Mikey, one day I will get my ecu to you

IID is my go to option, SDD when the IID won’t do it. IID, seconds to set up, SDD can take 10s of minutes as it’s always updating. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)
