i use icarsoft lr2 on my 2013 2.2 dynamic lux sd4 pal

 

I use the Foxwell NT530 which has free software updates for the production lifetime of the tool. It comes with one model of car already downloaded but you can then download software for various other models. It is a little clunky to use and download software, but it has done loads of useful jobs on my LR and Porsche cars such as battery, DPF and EGR initialisations, module testing and of course fault code reading.
I've never used an iCarsoft so I can't say which is best.

 

I use the icarsoft v3 which does much more than just read codes (eg air pathway reset, which the 2.2Ds seem to need). I got it for £150 from LRParts in August but the price seems to have gone up since then.

I also got a 2014 2.2D because I was warned off the newer engine by everyone I spoke to that works on Land Rovers. Local dealers are apparently replacing multiple 2.0 engines a week. I was also advised to get a manual rather than the 9 speed auto. Can't say I am overly impressed with reliability so far. I seem to have had constant issues with intermittent power loss (solved after a couple of months by the air pathway reset) and the scuffing/chuffing (ongoing since July and probably EGR related).

 

Icarsoft pro for me. The trouble with having the ultra reliable 2.2 version is I haven't actually needed to use it yet.

 

I did have the Gap iid tool for my Evoque but also Have an Icarsoft CR Max..

 

I use JLR SDD and have a Foxwell NT530 which my son had finished with. Both are good but SDD is way better.
Here's a link for it jlr_sdd_164.iso - Google Drive

 

Forgot to say you'll need a clone Mongoose Pro cable with SDD

 

I have icarsoft lr2 for my 2015 2.2 auto. It get warnings off, but for some reason battery reset or handbrake servise functions don't work.
