IIDTool LR4 diagnostic sys: beta sales starting
The beta firmware for the 2010-2013 D4 / LR4 IIDTool is ready! We now need beta testers!
Click image to enlarge
As many already know, the IIDTool is a full diagnostic system for the RRS / LR4 covering all functions on nearly all vehicle systems (please see functionality chart for the LR3 - the chart for the LR4 will be coming http://gap-diagnostic.com/products/iidtool.html).
Not all functions are avail for the first beta release. The functions avail are:
- Fault (DTC) read / clear
- Live values and component actuation (testing) - not all ECUs
- All EAS functions known from our IIDTool / EASControl for pre-2010 RRS/LR3
Updates will follow quickly till the LR4/2010+ vehicles reach pre-2010 vehicle functionality and then development will continue simultaneously for all supported vehicles.
The functions coming in the next beta release(s) over the next few weeks:
- CCF Car Configuration File editing (daytime running lights, alarm and key functions, adding non-fitted options)
- Service interval reset, service routines, and replacement part initialization / programming (some functions available only as of the next FW release)
- Re-flashing ECU for enhancement or known problems (LR Updates- we may not be able to offer all ECUs/systems)
Please see our website for full information Link and documentation (User manuals)
Once again, the LR4 / RRS 2010> are coming but the functions are very similar to the LR3 except for the display - so please see that manual http://gap-diagnostic.com/support/documents.html
One item of note: On 2010 and 2011 vehicles, the instrument cluster firmware needs to be updated for the IIDTool to function. This is done automatically upon first use (see pics below).If you would like to retain the present look of your instrument cluster, please do NOT purchase the IIDTool!(Updating the instrument cluster will not make the radio/navigation/telephone write information on the cluster the entertainment sys would also need an update. We'll explore if this is possible -it may be, tho, that the hardware has changed for the later models)
2010,2011 Left, 2012 (look after update) Right
Beta Purchasing: The price for beta units is reduced over the future retail price, betas receive updates in advance, and beta testers will receive our close support. Beta testers may receive firmware with bugs or glitches, though and may need to update the IIDTool more than once before the final firmware version is released. Please only order an IIDTool beta if you are in agreement with these conditions!
This unit is being offered in a beta version for testing at CDN$445. The price is slightly higher than previous IIDTools because of the required cluster fw update.
We are contractually bound to offer only a limited number of units for each vehicle type (our worldwide distribution partner is Britpart).

New features added. With this release coming up, the firmware is now coming very close to being completed.
The IIDTool has now definitively reached a level of functionality allowing direct comparisons to much more expensive units.
