Title: jaguar diagnostics
Post by: tidla on 10 July 2017, 21:54:23
As a few members now have them, i was wondering if they have purchased any diagnostic equipment and if so what?

Jag diags rely on a subscription to TOPix, the software is freely downloadable, so just buy hardware and a TOPix subscription for dealer level (ish) diags. Security and car reconfiguration only available to dealers

I have an icarsoft for my Merc. It works as well as a £100 box of tricks can be expected to.

Though I wish I'd known about the MBII before I bought the i980

Great if the car is new enough... Pre EOBD and you need the 7.4 and a laptop ::)

Will either work on a C200 Executive SE Blueefficieny Cdi 2013 model?

Cheers. I would definitely look at getting one as I like the idea of a 2007-9 Era E320 E280 diesel Estate for MrsT, no DPF, lots of grunt when loaded up with family stuff.
