Britpart Lynx Evo Diagnostics App?

Hello All,

Does anyone here have experience with the Britpart Lynx Evo phone app?
I'm guessing it can't do as much as a Nanocom or Hawkeye, but thought I should just see if anyone on here has tried it.

Requirements would likely include Discovery td5 immobiliser issues.

Thank you.

I have a britpart Lynx. It isn't the evo but it does most things like reprogramming keys, powerbleeding brakes and calibrating air suspension etc. as well as reading and resetting fault codes.

Thank you. Sounds good enough so far.

There's a 2nd Hand Nanocom on sale from a LZ site member for an excellent price.
Would just need any additional unlock code and cable.

@DanClarke Thanks, but I don't think I'm ready to get one yet. I'm just weighing up the options for if/when I might need one.
Thanks.

@DanClarke Well, what does he want for it?

when he posted it was only £200 for it and the cable. for his LR model. At worst you are looking at £200 + another unlock code and a cable. but still far cheaper than new and its the best kit for the home user.
It was a recent post I thought. Can't find it now.

OK Thanks. The Lynx is looking good though...

Please somebody pick holes in the Lynx before I commit to getting one.

Everything I've seen seems quite good so far; but I'm completely new to diagnostics systems.

Here's a YouTube review:

I'm not finding many recent threads on the LZ forum regarding the Lynx vs. Nanocom vs. Hawkeye.

Thanks for any constructive criticism!

Thats the one I have and it does what I needed it too - Powerbleed the brakes, calibrate air suspension and disgnostics.

Might be the way to go. It looks quite capable and intuitive to use.

Obviously, I'd be looking at the single vehicle – e.g. Discovery family only – version. It can be upgraded to another family group (e.g. Range Rovers) at another time, if need be.

@brianconwy and @DanClarke thank you both for your input.

OK, we've bought the Lynx Evo, and I'm leaving this as a note for anyone following the thread and interested in this diagnostics system: Now probably isn't the time to get the Lynx Evo – I've just learned the hard way.

According to Britpart support, there's currently no user manual for the Lynx Evo, so I'm fumbling around trying to use a somewhat clunky phone app. Things may improve, but they really shouldn't be selling the product before they put together a manual. Because it's such a new product, there are few other people out there who have any experience with it.
It might be going back to Britpart.

It seems that this new version works for the Td5 too https://www.scantool-direct.co.uk/i...c-tool-land-rover-jaguar-and-range-rover.html and it has user guide at better price than anything else on the market

As far as I can tell that tool is around the £200 mark?
But then again I just bought my Hawkeye Total for £300 direct from Bearmach, so its not a huuuge price difference if im right, maybe consider that.

Although it did confuse me a little, as far as I knew you get 1 unlock code with the tool for a certain series, but when I rang to get the code he said the new model doesn't use codes and its plug and play.

@sierrafery Thank you. Do you know if the iCarsoft LR-1 can carry out functions like deactivating the passive immobiliser, or setting the immobiliser to be disarmed when the door is unlocked with the key? On the page you posted, I didn't see anything about actuators, but maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing. However, if it can carry out these functions, it might be what we're looking for.

@Jamiegreen Is the Hawkeye Total unlocked to all Land Rovers, then? We're considering sending the Lynx Evo back, and getting a Hawkeye Total instead.

Well I asked him does it work on all models, and he said yes theres no codes with these new Hawkeye's.. But if someone with a newer model could confirm that though as I can't say for certain, otherwise just give bearmach a ring.

If that's the case, they've got an edge there. I see that the Hawkeye Pro can read fault codes on a host of other non-Land Rover vehicles, as well. I wonder if the same applies to the Hawkeye Total.

Yeah thats what I was maybe thinking, the "manual" states nothing about activating and says it works on all Land Rover Models, and the pro for other brands maybe.

Well, it sounds good. Mind you, the Lynx Evo sounded good too... once upon a time!

@Jamiegreen , Do you know if it can edit the immobiliser settings. Whatever we get, we need to deal with a faulty immobiliser – and rather than spend ages tracing wires and replacing components, I'm tempted to set the immobiliser to be disarmed by the key in the door – or just switching the immobiliser off for good, maybe.
