2014 SDD cable or VCM suggestions
 

What does anyone recommend for a good J2534 device or cable for SDD interface with a 2014 or newer model year. My SDD is updated to the latest version but I am having an issue with my clone Mongoose and would like to find a good I have done some searches on these forms and most are talking about 2009 and older models. The only thing I have found online is DrewTech's CarDAQ-Plus 3 which is a nice $1780.

Here's what Jaguar recommends:

I have an OEM setup (VCM and cable) so not much help there as they're hard to come by. The Diagnostic Associates DA Dongle gets good reviews from a couple guys on the X150 forum.

I'm thinking about this DA-Dongle:

However, SDD has been at 1.59 since January 2020 and last had an incremental update to 159.07 in early May. When and if JLR do get back to work, v1.60 must be a priority so I've been delaying until then. Drew Technologies appear to have dropped out of the loop due to issues with connectivity on later models and I don't want to get stuck with something else that is possibly incompatible.

That is a decent price for the DA Dongle. I didn't think about going across the pond. I wonder if it works on US vehicles.

Is the Teradyne still the current device for dealers. Your bulletin says 2011 and a lot has changed. I assumed they moved away from the Ford IDS system.

Sorry, just seeing this. Yes it works on Jaguars worldwide. The guys I was referring to in my first post are in the US. Can't answer as to what Tata Motors uses now or what's changed since 2011, sorry. My guess is the devices will continue to work as long as Jaguar continues to use SDD. You would need to update your software as you go newer in MY.
