I'm in need of one of these. I'm leaning towards nanocom.
Anyone have any thoughts on the ilandfrom AB?

I also have it for my D2 and will be adding the software for the P38 soon.
It has saved me it's purchase price and kept me well supplied with beer.

I bought the iLAND for 399 from AB. So far its been on the blink. Im not the only one having issues with it. I own a Discovery 2 and am unable to reprogram the key FOB. It seems to be an issue with the iLAND its self. Ive been waiting for a week not with no word and when or how it will be fixed. Im also having some issues with other features. And there is no instruction manual. Every piece of diagnostic equipment other than one has an operators manual.
Which route did you take?
Im still waiting for help from Atlantic British for the iLAND. Not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel. Their no return policy is what really pisses me off. If something doesn't work because it us flawed they should refund you the money.
Just got my nanocom and have reset my adaptive values and the air suspension to coil. So happy. Either every penny. It will do everything that a scanguage will do and more. So much more that I have no idea what it can do. Seriously, lots of menus. Love it.
I will say that it is a little scary. I’m not sure what certain menu items mean and there really isn’t a great manual for it. But I’m determined to figure it all out. That said, if anyone else has one and understands it, I’d love to chat.
Well I haven’t heard from Atlantic British nor the company that helped develope the iLand in days. This is a fricken nightmare. Do not buy this POS! They should have worked out the bugs and the misspelt words prior to its release. WTF!
I will be buying the Nanocom soon. It really pisses me off to no end that I’m getting no real customer support from AB or the company they collaborated with to develope the iLand. I really hope the Nanocom comes with some sort of information to help people use it properly. I did write Blackbox asking about a user manual but wasn’t given a yes or no.

there are some 'guide', but from the limited amount of time I've spent with it, it's a lot of guessing what everything means. They have an application on their site that will let you scroll through to see what's available for the disco. For me, it came down to resetting adaptive settings, changing the air to coils, and watching teh o2 sensors. But now that my key have crapped out, it can also program a key, so another plus for the nanocom.
Might you be referring to the limited videos AB has made. Some of them just talk about what the device can do not how to actually use it. The KeyFOB is one of those not covered. And when reprogramming the FOB there are screens in the iLAND that have no information on them other than pressing Yes and No. Yes or No for what? Anyway Its been almost three months and the issue still has not been fixed by them. I finally broke down and went to a shop and had it reprogrammed.
I will be buying a nano com and selling this pos when I get the chance. Very disappointed!
No, I'm talking about the nanocom. I'm very sorry to hear about your AB experience, I was really hopeful for it too. AB seems to be having some problems lately, the past 6 months I've been working on my engine and there have been some really strange mistakes.
I was leaning towards the Nanocom but went with the iLAND because I was able to use a smart device. Now I regret it and wished I had originally bought the Nanocom.
I will be buying another KeyFob for my wife as we only have the one. Who knows maybe that now will change and they’ll fix what ever was wrong. They have about a month till I get the new Fob.
Nanocom is a really great tool to have. The company do back it up, but even better, there’s an online forum for info and questions.
I drove 2 hour yesterday to buy a Nanocom Evo for 180 pounds ($233).
It’s for a TD5 Disco 2 but I can buy an unlock code for $64 to add V8. Score!
I really was hoping the iLand was going to be a big win for AB and the Land Rover community since it can be used on a tablet. Too bad it’s been plagued with issues and lack of customer support.
The things I’ve read from Nanocom owners is that it might cost quite a bit up front for an Evolution but it will save you money in the long run by diagnosing problems you can fix yourself. I’ve also read the Nanocom customer support team is outstanding when dealing with issues.
