Anyone use the CP9690 on a RR HSE 4.4l petrol? If so, what modules will it support? I am looking for a unit that will test the EAS system.
Other Actron CP9695

If its just the EAS you want, try RSW software and laptop?

The OP's car is not a P38, the free EAS software is no use to him, but the RSW Diagnostic suite may be.

I need an app that will do things like reset malfunction, service, and oil lamps, code resets, and abs. I need the capability to test modules such as emergency brake, for example.

Oh yeah, I researched that. Looks like it is the "cream of the crop" unit. I just hate to purchase another unit just for the RR. I may have to in the end though.

If you intend keeping the car for some time it will more than pay for itself and when you sell the car there will always be a market for the diag unit so a win win really.

That is a great idea. Certainly a good reason to purchase the gap tool. Have you used this tool to troubleshoot problems with the RR? For example, my left front wheel shows higher than the rest as shown on the diagnostic screen on the dash. I suspect the height sensor is bad.
I fitted and calibrated mine on iid and it's a doddle.
Put it in calibration mode, measure to wheel arch and click up or down until correct height is measured. Save and done.
It also allows you to set up custom profiles so, for example, I do lots of motorway work so I have a profile that's 10mm lower than normal.

+1 for example, we were out on Sunday off roading and the EAS threw a fault and put the car down to the bump stops. Using the diagnostic system for our model p38 at the side of the track I was able to clear an unknown fault and continue. Thankfully it was a false code (weird) and we able to continue with usable suspension instead of getting off a track on the bumpstops.... Ever seen the hole the P38 axle will put in a engine sump!!! Nine litres of not pretty..
Diagnostic à must

I have a p38 so have never used a Gap, but i did buy my own diag for the p38 diesel and it has been a godsend to have ready to use on mine and other members cars and i would probably still get back what i payed for it if i sold it.

Sounds like I need this diagnostic tool. My RR sits on its bump stops if left overnight. It quickly pumps up when started, and stays that way throughout the day, but will settle overnight again. (Consistent) I believe I may have to purchase this tool to troubleshoot and repair problems. Additionally, I was wondering if larger size rims (22") add to the issue?

^^^^^^ Dropping like that means there is a pretty serious leak
