Btw don’t buy a CR-Max on Amazon. Lots of fakes.

Amazon are awesome with returns so if I got a fake one I could just return it.

I will wait to hear back from iCarSoft and the other people before doing anything more.

It has been raised up for a year and it has not caused too many problems so I can wait.

If the V2 was miss sold, try for a trade in against the V3.

ICarSoft said "From our experience, it is not possible to do suspension changes with any iCarsoft device on your vehicle."

I have the Icarsoft CR-Max which apparently uses the same SW as the V3 Land Rover Version, but covers all most cars. Never tried it on an L322 though cos I aint got one.

Works well on my Merc C180 & both Freelanders. For my P38's it shows BECM, EAS, HEVAC, etc in the menus but always fails to connect.

Could try it if you want to drive to Langley one day.

FYI iCarSoft said "From our experience, it is not possible to do suspension changes with any iCarsoft device on your vehicle."

From what they have previously told me 2006 is the year where it changes, when the L322 used mostly Jaguar parts not BMW parts.

So your iCarSoft should do everything on 2006 and newer L322, not earlier models.

Before I bought my OBD reader I looked into this but I do not have a Windows laptop.

I saw some cables with laptop on eBay but they were all for the later model cars, not for my 2002 L322.

I bought the V2 iCarSoft because the company said that the V2 was no different to the V3, but cheaper. But it turns out that the V3 can write to the car while the V2 cannot.

I cannot understand why a company can be so stupid as to give incorrect information out about their own product.

I may have to just spend on the V3 and try to sell my V2 or give it away.

That would still be cheaper than going to the local Range Rover expert and paying for one hour of his time.

Storey Wilson does some cheap software for the early models. Later ones are canbus and use his 4Dcan software. Trying to remember what he called the earlier software. Needs a laptop and cable though.

I did have it on my laptop but the laptop died and took everything with it.

I could get into that whole thing, buy a laptop from eBay, buy cables, download software etc.

But why would I invest that time when it really just needs someone with the right system to fix it in 10 minutes?

Almost a year ago I was talking with several people on eBay about what they were offering and none of them had the correct software for my particular car.

So I'm not willing to put any energy into that because I have other things to do with my life, and I would rather buy the gap tool than a laptop set up, if I have to buy something.

I did glance quickly on the Storey Wilson website and the cost to buy his cable is about £200 delivered but there may be some Trump tariff on top of that.

Then I have to buy a Windows laptop and that will cost me about £150.

This is getting close to the price of the gap tool, which is purchased in England and therefore I do not have to worry about international returns if it's faulty.

Also a gap tool and my iPhone is much nicer to take on my travels and use than a OBD cable and a Windows laptop.
