Hi there,

some months ago I purchased the Chinese Copy of the Mongoose JLR Interface Cable togehter with the SDD Software from Car OBD2 Tools global one-stop shopping supplier ---OBDexress.co.uk called "Mangoose"

Well, the price of ~40€ seemed attractive enough for a test.

Result: Software works, Adapter works .... partly!
When using CAN-Bus communication only, the interface seems okay. But among the list of supported Protocols there's also a Protocol named ROSCO

Yesterday I tried to do some work on a Land Rover Defender from 2011.... the communication to the Alarm ECU is done using ROSCO (ROver Service COmmunications)
ROSCO uses Pin 8 of the Diag Interface .... this Pin is not even connected to the Adaptor PCB!!! Don't waste your money purchasing this adaptor when you need ROSCO Protocol



So I'm looking for an original Mongoose JLR Cable .... is there one for sale?

In between I'm under the impression that it might be difficult purchasing a Mongoose Pro JLR.

Therefore an additional question: what kind of diagnostic interface would you guys recommend which works with SDD and supports all necessary protocols including ROSCO?

Maybe somebody knows the voltage of ROSCO diagnostic line? My range rover refuses to be diagnosed.

 

...which model year? Which diagnostic equipment?

 

2007 range rover, cable mongoose pro, sotware SDD. All modules in K line, BCM, LCM, Rain sensor, ar diagnosed via gateway in instrument cluster, instrument cluster is connected to OBD port pin nr 8 and this part is already runing by rosco protocol. K line is fine it idles on high -12V. But ROSCO is 0V. I wonder what is idle voltage of ROSCO (pin nr. 8 to Instrument cluster gateway)

 

....I would assume this is CAN Bus Car

 

this is can bus car, k line car, rosco car, i bus car. All possible options

 

Good afternoon colleagues, are we talking about multican now???

 

 

in this modification, the cord works with a multican through the gwm gateway unit

 

yes to be exact pin nr 8 is connecting GWM. what is the voltage of OBD to GWM when idle and when communicating?

 

I can't tell you yet if a range rover with a multican is coming, I'll check it out

 

the whole problem is how we write that this pin in the adapter lands on the ground and because of this there is no connection with the multican. I checked it myself with this modification, cars without multicans work stably
