JLR diagnostics software on ebay just a con?

I've got two choices - either the iCarsoft reader, or a full SDD package.

If I already have the laptop (I've several), are these things a con / ripped-off software that will die of the machine connects to the net?

eg: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-Land-Rov...2273837436

Don't waste your money or time on this. Buy a Gap IId with (or without) bluetooth. It's the most versatile tool out there.

I bought a copy of SDD and cable once. I tried for hours to get it to work to no avail.

So I then went and bought an IID tool...

There is a reason we are charged £2k a year for access to SDD programming and updates...

Save your money, and buy an IID Thumbs Up

According to the information it will only run successfully on windows 7 and LR from 2005 which possibly indicates that it is old software, but there again it is your money.

I bought the icarsoft LRII when I bought my Disco, to be honest I've been impressed, the live data is pretty good, it pinpointed a failing injector and reads/clears faults without any issue, including the fuel burning heating and EPB.

I had a Nanocom when I had a Disco 2 which had greater functionality but I never used it so the additional cost was never worth the investment to me (you may well be different). One other point is that the icarsoft seems to sell for pretty much the same price secondhand as new so if you decide you need something better you shouldn't lose much.

I brought the cable and use SDD occasionally, did pair the eBay key fob to my D3, but it's an old version SDD, only works for older Land Rovers.
