GAP IID Tool: 5 PROs and 3 CONs - Land Rover Discovery 4 LR4

- Опубліковано 18 чер 2024
- Hi! You are thinking about buying the GAP IID Tool for your Land Rover, but you are a bit put off by the price? I'll give you some information about the tool and why the rather high price can quickly pay off.
This episode is all about the GAP IID tool and 5 reasons why I love it and 3 why not! I'm sorry for the length of the video, but I wanted to show you that this tool is really good and worth the money!
Overall, in my honest opinion, it is the best aftermarket diagnostic and programming tool for Land Rover or Ranger Rover vehicles! But it's also a bit expensive and that's the reason why most Land Rover or Range Rover drivers won't buy it.
But even though it is a bit more expensive than others, you will get your money back quickly if you have any problems with your car!
The GAP IID tool is very handy and you can always carry it in the glove compartment of your car or similar. So you don't need to carry a laptop with you!
==================
The Charger you should use is the CTEK MXS 10 with Supply Mode
(I'am using the MXS5 which doesn't apply that)

Thank you, very informative as like others I have to get over the price issue. Keep the learning coming. Cheers.
Thank you, I have learned a lot from your Gap Tool videos. Keep em coming!
Hey marck! Thank you 😊
Very informative thank you 👍
Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi Peter, thanks for the great video. One should be careful NOT to engage the "recondition" mode of a charger while the battery is connected to the electric system of the car because in this mode the charger uses higher voltage peaks than in the normal charging mode. This can (and has in the past) destroy electronic components in the car! In the video you are using the MXS 5.0 model of ctek. This has no "supply" mode, which you need for operations with the IID Tool, which take a longer time, to prevent the battery from discharging. The charger you have linked is the right one, because the model MXS 10 has this supply mode. Thanks for this useful link!
Keep on "DISCOVERING" and reporting. Thanks.
Hi @EGE-hoj! Thank you very much for your input! Then I will exchange my MXS 5 right away. (I have added it to the video in the description.)
because I thought it would be possible to maintain both battery power without supply mode. Especially as the IID tool also shows a higher voltage during the charging process, or this also remains constant over a longer period of time. All the best, Peter
Another very informative video my friend, this is one my list of things to buy for the disco, but like you say, it's expensive, and the price is delaying the purchase, it will come in handy tho, and the wife has just got herself a discovery sport, so I'm sure it'll get used on that too.
Have a good one.. 👍
Hello @beenzer! Yes I know it's not cheap, but it has already saved me a lot of money because of the things mentioned in the video. And I think if you still have a Land Rover, it will certainly pay for itself. By the way, I had a Discovery Sport myself before! It cost almost 100€ to read out the error! Have a nice Sunday, Peter
Thank you Peter for your videos!!!
Can I have more info in regards the plug you have had installed on your Disco in order to connect the battery charger.
Many Thanks 👍
Hey, for sure! I am using this plug from CTEK to connect my charger to the battery => amzn.to/3A5MwdQ
Best, Peter
Your meant to run the vehicle while using the iid.
No need to connect to a charger.
Hi, can it lift the car more than the normal HI mode? Will it override the EAS in case of a failure? Thank you. Great video 👍
No, unfortunately, it cannot be calibrated beyond the working range of the sensors. However, the driving height etc. can be adjusted. All the best, Peter
Hi Peter, could you make a video on how to level the Discovery for Camping with the GAP IID tool? I often read about it but never found a good explanation on how to do it.
Hey @OhTenenbaum, thanks for the input! I think this is a good idea and I’ll figure out how to show this is done in an easy way! All the best for you, Peter
The price is a killer. Question where do you get the physical key cut? Is the key cut at specialist locksmith and you program the key?
The price is quickly put into perspective if you have a few problems with the vehicle, as Land Rover in this country wants €120 for a one-off deletion of faults. Yes, just take the key to a locksmith and have it replaced for a few €, $... etc.
Hi Peter, I just received the iid Tool from another disco 4 owner that doesn‘t know how to use it. Did I unterstand you correctly that I need to pay about 70 bucks to use it on my lr4? Any suggestions on how I can get started w/ this Bluetooth device? Best, Reto
Hello, yes, that is correct! You need to buy another license for each car you add. If you have the Pro version, this is not necessary. Best to you, Peter
Are you using IIDTOOL G3 or with the PRO G3 in this film?
Hey, I’m using the IID Tool G3. The pro version would be too much for me as a private person. Greetings, Peter
Nothing personal, but today in this world if I can control "hate" (height) level, I would buy it in a hart beat. LOL. Seriously. Can I use this tool to program a new or used TCM module?
It should already be possible as long as the TCM corresponds to the same series. Because you can also flash them for improvements or updates. I can't say for sure, but I could ask GAP if you want. All the best
@@notthatkindofachannel thank you.
I would have liked the tool, but it’s hard to justify the price for an old vehicle that isn’t valued that much more.
ii means 2 not eye eye. It is a GAP 2D tool
Hey Sean! IIDTool stands for Integrated Interface Diagnostic Tool 😉 So there is no 2D in IID. Best, Peter
if it's $500 and not good for current vehicles then it's shit
Hey, hey! Well, the new models are already supported if you look at the GAP website. It just takes a little while until all functions are finally available. But in my opinion this is not due to GAP Diagnostic but rather to Land Rover, which does not like to provide information about their vehicles for independent workshops etc..
It’s the same for most newer cars. VAG changed protocols so now VCDS has limited functionality on newer models. Manufactures are doing it to make it harder for independent garages unless they buy access to the main server and use their software which costs ££££ not to mention make it even harder for us DIY guys.
