Foxwell scanner for D1

[Knightspirit]

Anyone using a Foxwell scanner for their D1? I bought the NT530 with the Land Rover module, and I cannot for the life of me get it to work on my D1 (won't connect to the vehicle). I am going back and forth with tech support at the moment - but what I am really wanting to know is if it supports ABS on the D1. I notice that the D1 years only show the engine, and the D2 years break it all out - ABS, Airbag etc. Just wondering if anyone has something that supports ABS on the D1.

Thanks!

what did you learn? I am looking at the same one

D1s were not complicated enough for BeCM stuff. There is no brain from which to alter airbag and ABS parameters.

I never got it to connect to the vehicle - didn't recognize the VIN number - even when entered manually. To their credit - they gave me a free Subaru module after not being able to get it to connect to the Land Rover. As stated in the post above though - you can really just use an app on your phone to get the codes for the basics like 02 sensors etc. That's where I am now - using Car Scanner on iPhone.

I can no longer recommend the Foxwell scanner. That nice lengthy PDF with all the functions it does? Pretty much a wish list. It does some of the stuff and not others. This is on a D2 and LR3. The one time I tried to connect to a D1 it wouldn't except for the generic OBD software.
When I emailed them about it they pretty much said I should have chosen better. After that I didn't bother pointing out that the functions I want to do (syncing bcu and programming keys) are on the can do list pdf for the 520.
It's a good unit that does a lot more then others but it also doesn't do everything thing they claim on their website.
Fuckin' Chinese.

Yes, I actually got to borrow a foxwell and it wouldnt do shit for my D1.

Back to the drawing board

I've read on other forums that the Foxwell NT530 was crap for the Disco 2 so I know it won't do shite for the Disco 1.
I'm still impressed with my older Foxwell NT510.

I got the Bearmach Total to talk to my 95 DI ABS and Airbag. Had to fab a few cable adapters to do it.

Don't get me wrong, it does a lot of handy things. Just not all of the things it says it will. The applications are there, they just don't work.
