    Syncmate

    Canyon you can get one direct from our own web shop, where you would have to factor in the 10% established forum member discount for Landy Zone members, our Ebay shop, or there are now many other vendors on ebay etc you can go to. As with anything, you need to shop around for the best deal...

    L322 Help needed.

    Can you possibly elaborate a bit more. TBH you ain't giving much descriptive info for me to work with here. For that year car they should be using a Testbook or T4, both of which are powered by mains and are not really capable of being killed stone dead by any car no matter how screwed up it...

    Lateral thinking required.

    Not that long ago, i happened to have two near identical white P38's. One was my daily ride to work and back and the other the wifes. After work we would often both travel to one of a number of local restuarants on our way home and pull up side by side before going in, ordering and so on...

    Anybody know what the F@*k these mean?

    For an EMS, anything below P1000 is generic OBDII and can be looked up on the web, anything above P1000 is manufacturer specific and by manufacturer i mean the actual ECU, not the badge on the bonnet. In order to possibly help in any way, i therefore need to know if you are taking about pre...

    L322 Help needed.

    Adrian What you have written Is a bit non sensical On a 2003 L322 there are a dozen or more independant ECU's connected to to DS2 diagnostic data bus. You only need a diagnostic tool to connect to the bus to talk to any of them, Are you saying that they cannot establish...

    steering wheel controls

    No worries garioch43, just me having had a few and feeling a bit more smug with myself than usual and possibly than i should have done for having spent a bit of time trying out Centrafuse and doing a bit of research about remote control aspects. I am only human and although by day i may get up...

    @ mattstevenson2005 Matt, Try a U instead of the V, i jotted it down and when i came back to read it, it could have really been either :) The info was taken from a bang up to date Microcat system, (on my other laptop) so is not out of date, If you still can't find it, i will re check...

    Diagnostic Hardware what to buy.

    Couple of points to add my 2C's worth. First Regarding installing and running our vehicle explorer software on Vista and Windows 7 The software does install and run very nicely, i use it on both myself, However unless we pay a kings ransom to Microsoft, so that the OS's automatically...

    Diagnostic Hardware what to buy.

    Just the 2 weeks wammers ;) Don't worry Spadgr, i think i understand what you are getting at. ;) Many have heard about diagnostic equipment and will appreciate that it can read and clear faults, but i guess you probably like many others want to know more of the nitty gritty of how that helps...

    P38 drivin me insane eas

    4.6sara The EAS system on the P38 does suffer from more than its fair share of problems, especially on vehicles near 15 years old, and since EAS is not fitted to many other vehicles, your average general multi model Garage typically runs a mile or wants a fortune to get involved as you seem to...

    Hack attacks mounted on car control systems

    Nah OXO, as i pointed out, neither of us is right or wrong because in some instances they are talking about Via the OBDII connector and in others, via other wireless means. As my post points out, there are so many variables in play in those papers and so much depends on specific circumstances...

    Hack attacks mounted on car control systems

    I apologize for my previous off the cuff remark on this subject without first actually reading the documents. Now i have read and studied them to a large degree, i would like to forward a much more considered comment. What an utter and complete load of manure :doh: The problem is that...

    You should stand a good chance of finding one from a breaker, but check out the new price anyway. Also consider sourcing one from a Beemer as its the very same unit. https://www.blackbox-solutions.com/shop/help/SM063.html You might want to check your wiring loom has the plug for it. Its...

    Hack attacks mounted on car control systems

    What an utter and complete load of manure. When accessing a vehicle system even via the OBDII one can only call upon the functions that were specifically designed in by its origional designer and change settings that were specifically designed to be adjustable. As such there is no possible...
