That sounds like a plan that i supect many others will also be following ieuan
However make sure she does not see it, as it is certainly not a cheap looking or feeling unit and she will definately not believe how little it actually costs

Martin, Yes it can be used to enable the 4x4 info, which is just a simple case of editing your vehicles CCF. But this is just one of the many hundreds of things it will allow you to change as the system does provide the ability to edit absolutely EVERY SINGLE possible setting in the vehicles Car Configuration File.

Here is a link to a You tube video showing it being used to enable the 4x4 info

You will notice that for ease and convenience we use our on line Genesis system to do the actual editing of the CCF, which creates a file you pop on the SD card, plug into the Nanocom and then program into the vehicle. There is no need for back up's as you can always save a completly origional and un edited file.

Regards access to Genesis, this is free and fully automatic

When customers first register their units on the Nanocom web site, they get a user name and Password automatically e-mailed to them that provides access to the restricted area of the nanocom web site that contains their licence / Unlock codes as well as to Genesis.

Genesis is really quite clever because it does not require you to provide a copy of your vehicles CCF data to be edited, but by virtue of a bit of BBS magic, simply requires you to enter your vehicles VIN number.

We have set up a demo account on Genesis for anyone who wants to try this for themselves, even with their own VIN, and you can find all the URL, log in details and a pictorial overview of how to use it on this thread. Although the layout may have changed a little.

Yes, you can add as many models as you like to the same unit, and quite a few existing Nanocom owners, and there are a vast number of existing owners, will also be now be adding CAN BUS vehicles to their units.

Me too
The reason that it has taken us so long to get to where we are currently at with this is simply because we are not writing the software functions for specific CAN BUS vehicle models.

Instead the diagnostic functions we are developing are being written in a way that makes them generic to all CAN BUS vehicle models and all their ECU's.

Of course there are some differences between the different models, but the intelligent vehicle detection function has been designed to automatically accomodate that via look up information for each and every current Model and Model year.

However, as standardised as these CAN BUS vehicle systems should be, we often encounter problems in specific cases that we have to find a generic way to resolve.
But at least every problem we have to resolve makes the system more intelligent, flexible and accomodating and much more likely to just work as it should on other models.

As such, although we could release the licences / unlock codes for all models from the very start, and it is most likely that everything would work, we really would prefer to test the software ourselves on every model before we do so.

But of course that is dependant upon time and test vehicle availiability

Looks a fantastic product.

Yep, the Nanocom Evolution has already become the tool of choice for all owners of earlier non Can Bus Land Rover models and has already gained a hard earned reputation for it's low cost, reliability and outstanding diagnostic abilities. There is currently no such thing as a second hand Nanocom Evolution which speaks volumes

With coverage of all CAN BUS vehicles, especially in the super easy and intelligent way we are adding it, i am quite sure that it will quickly also become the tool of choice for owners of CAN BUS vehicles.

Hi Colin
A slightly convolued question from me, I hope you don't mind.

I currenly own a D3, when I eventually change vehicle it will be a D4, my father in law owns a freelader 2.

I note this tool is not VIN locked. I also note that yuo are not ready for the FL2 yet, but hope to be soon.

Will one tool be able to cover the three vehicles?

On kind of the same subject,
Seeing as it's not vin locked to a specific vehicle
Would this do for my D2 td5 and my D3 ?

Does one cable suit all or would I need to buy a separate cable?

If this is going to work on both

I'd definitely have one
