What’s the better Diagnostic VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) is better for JLR (Jaguar & Land Rover)?
-Rotunda VCM High quality
-VCM2 High Quality
-JLR mangoose cable
-Da-vina J2534 Pass-thru
-VXDIAG vcx nano for JLR
First of all, check the table comparison here:
1. Rotunda
VCM is the first generation VCM. VCM for JLR HQ will program keys. But it
worked on older models and currently SDD goes to V135.
2. VXDIAG
VCA NANO for JLR, VCM 2 for JLR red color and VCM II for JLR blue color share
the same software, just differs in hardware case. VXDIAG NANO JLR software will
not be blocked by OEM software. VCM2 (red and clue case) will.
3. JLR Mangoose SDD cable and DA-VINA both are J3524 based
pass-thru that mainly carry out diagnostic function, cannot do programming.
