Faultmate MSV-2 +BAS Map or 2nd-hand BAS Interface +BAS map?

Hi All

I'm trying to understand my options here and as the subject says, I don't know which to go for.

The cost of the remap file from Pete is Â£150 - a good deal I'm sure given the feedback I've read.

The cost of a 2nd-hand interface is about Â£250

So that's Â£400 all in.

I also have a mate down the road who'd also like to remap his Disco and I know a BAS interface is tied to a single car. What I was wondering is whether it would be cheaper to buy a single Faultmate and two remaps from Pete. Can a faultmate be used on two cars in this manner?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Talk to Geoff.

A Faultmate MSV2 is also tied to a single car so if you wanted to use the MSV2 on two cars you would need a multi-vehicle license. So, your man maths

is a little out, I'm afraid.

Like I say, talk to Geoff.

Hi a faultmate useable on 2 vehicles will cost you around Â£1600 so i don't think thats a viable option

Thanks folks. I was just hoping there might be a licencing option where you could licence two Disco 3's rather than have to buy the full multi or all Disco licence.

You've got to ask right? Thanks for confirming.

Sorry - another question

So am I right in thinking the Faultmate MSV-2 Vehicle Server EXTREME version with VCI 1 for a single VIN is Â£248 inc VAT and that I can use it to read and write the ECU on my own Disco?
If so, it seems a much better deal than a BAS interface as it is much more powerful in terms of what it can read.

Recommend you get in touch with "BBS SPY" on here who will be able to answer all of your Blackbox questions.

Nope, just over Â£800 for the Extreme with the necessary kit to work on a single D3.

You need this Discovery 3 / LR3 Single Vehicle kit with EXTREME Vehicle Server from here https://blackbox-solutions.com/shop/ which is Â£825.35 (incl. VAT)

Either that or I don't understand what you need. You guys are gonna be busier than a test bench in a plunger factory!

Thanks

The BAS interface certainly does sound like a very good investment from the posts about it on here. Although I have no experience of it myself, there are many much more knowledgeable peeps on here who swear by it.
