Who makes a Scanner / Code reader for Jag XK
#2
All OBDII readers should read the standard set of codes. Jaguar, and all other manufacturers have specific codes beyond the standards.
If you want to read the full set the price jumps significantly. Auto Enginuity's Scan Tool is about the least expensive at about $500. Beyond that you can jump to $2500 and above.

I use Auto Engunuity with Jaguar Enhanced Software linked to my laptop or use a Jaguar WDS.
Its the only way to get the Jaguar specialist codes,any reader will read generic codes but you need something more precise to read the Jaguar specialist codes.Jaguar WDS can also be used for programming keys and electronic modules.

Take a look here https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/g...-%2A%2A-33347/
Yea, already looked there, thanks.
Our shop had been looking at the Autel MaxiDas DS708 Pro. We don't work on many Jags, but seem to have the need for a real scan tool each time we do.

So may I ask why you chose the Auto Eng over the others?
Thanks

You can spend the $ to get AutoEnginuity, or you can spend less and get another brand. Other than the dealers' scanner systems, only A/E will scan all the codes, however.
If you're having normal issues, a lesser scanner may do just fine.
If you're having specific problems--nerve wracking problems--that keep you up at night looking at this Forum, $450 doesn't seem a high price to pay for A/E.

Auto Enginuity usually have re-conditioned units on Ebay if you want to save some cash
http://motors.shop.ebay.com/autoengi...id=p4340.l2562
Then its just a case of buying the Jaguar Enhanced Software

I guess I'll pick up one of these, the re-furbished units on Ebay are older and don't think they will work.
I appreciate the help with scan tool choice..... I'll let you know what I think next week when I get mine.
Thanks,

The ground driver from the PCM to starter relay is dithering on and off. We have checked all power and grounds to PCM. The wiring resistance has been checked on power and ground for all related wiring as well.
Today the computer came in. This time there was no clicking involved, just nothing. So at this point we think we need to reflash the PCM possibly.
Anyone have any experience in this area?
Thanks,
Trevor

Just ordered the AE Scan Tool with Jag software. Can't believe they don't have something out for android. PPC and WM ? I think I have a few of those old units laying around the bottom of my closet somewhere. Anyone use one? Does it give close to same functionality as with a laptop?
