waited a week for the tool to arrive and plugged in, just realised it uses the crappy mileage display to operate. How come Casio can do me a watch that works 10 years faultlessly but LR cannot do LCD. Guess what, cannot go any further, cannot get unlock code until I can read the display its unintelligible I thought they are all like that!

To be precise it's a BMW LCD, the later 'Land-Rover' ones are more reliable.

plenty of pixel repair offers on the bay of e but don't know if they are any good. I think is a case or replacing a ribbon behind the display? Could be a DIY jobbie? 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

IIRC there is a you tube video showing pixel repair.

For the record, the PC base controller would be handy here since this is not an IIDTool BT

Yes BMW bang on about their superior German engineering. Sadly this is one of the many things BMW lumbered Land-Rover with, i dare say it's the main reason Land-Rover changed it for their own one. |

The IID updater software for windows is bundled with a controller app - you can use that. |

Isn't the updater tool just for updating the tools firmware?

Yep using controller, no joy. Just tried updater to verify comms and it sees the tool. Got dash in bits and the instrument pack apart waiting for ribbon, think i have knackered a stepper motor taking the needle off but only reassembly will tell. Unlike the two minute job as per you tube this is not a job I'd recommend, with foresight should of sent the whole thing for repair at £99 its a bargain |
