Nanocom vs Faultmate

Rollo Tomasi said:

Right,
I'm in need of purchasing one of these, so is it Nano or Faultmate.
I understand that the Nano is multi vehicle & the Faultmate is single vehicle (by choice of options & at a price to suit), so we are looking at around a £200 price difference between the two for very similar functions, so I believe.
So the question's are.
What does the Faultmate actually do that the Nano doesn't (apart from unlocking the BeCM with yet another expensive module) & is it really worth the extra expense.
Personally I would rather use my laptop to utilise these features if possible. Probably because I'm old & my eyes are ****ed, **** happens, so deal with it
Your answers would be appreciated.
Regards,
Paul.

Faultmate: Single vehicle tied to VIN, up to 2 extra VIN's possible by purchase of extra licences. Can also be purchased as multi vehicle and buy just the software modules you need and add as required. Extreme version can be used stand alone (no laptop) if required. Will also cover more different vehicles than just the P38. Multi vehicle expensive, about £750, but better than most pro stuff.
Nanocom: P38 only but not tied to VIN. All info displayed on the built in screen no ability to use a laptop. Cheap, ideal DIY unless your eyes are bad.

Hi Data,
I understand pretty much all of that & putting all those things aside & the points in my original post is there anything the Nano cant do that the Faultmate can.


Hi Hippo,
Thats just it, is it really worth the massive price difference.

I suppose I can live without using my Laptop & I'm not too bothered about it being multi vehicle, after all I'm only going to use it on my Rangy.
