Hello SDD fans, fellow computers nerds and wanna-bees,

I'd like to share some SDD deep dive experience. I find it interesting and hope that some of you do too!

SDD scans your vehicle when it is "connected", and stores a copy of the "as-built" and "as-ordered" module and software inventory on your laptop.

The location is ProgramFiles\JLR\IDS\XML\IVS-asbuilt (or just IVS in newer versions). The file name is (your_VIN).xml.

Since it is an .xml file, it can be opened and examined using windows explorer. Just exit without saving unless you are intending to make a change.

The file lists module anconyms, CAN node IDs and software for each module in the target vehicle.


Acronyms with module names for a typical 2011 XK follow, XKRs are similar, as are other Jaguars of similar vintage.

Correction: SODL/R were added to the OEM XK file. Typical for XF/XJ, it is not normally found in the XK.


If you would like to know more or share what you know about the inner-workings of IDS-SDD, lets hear from you.

Cool, I saved your text into my Jag folder for later perusing.
Thanks

 

Super neat and interesting but way beyond my skill set. Glad to know someone is doing the heavy lifting to learn this stuff.

 

So can you change the SDD and add things like headlamp steering? Mine accidently booted up with that enabled last year and I about wrecked turning onto my street because I was watching the lamp swiveling instead of the curb.

 

If you run the network integrity test (begin a diagnosis session and enter electrical/network/bus fault [iirc]) found in recommendations "module information - Network integrity test" you can obtain a lot of information about each module including software and hardware WERS #'s, module serial #'s and whether a module stores the VIN.

 

Lindsay,
Thanks for bringing up Integrity Test and presenting in Excel.
That reminds me that I what to find detailed info on the WERS format.
I think combining the information will make and interesting read.

 

Hi Bill, wondering if I could pick your brain.

I'm trying to retrofit adaptive cruise control ACC to my car which from factory did not come with this.

I have sourced the module but it's from a newer year car. SDD throws an error saying configuration not compatible when I try to configure it as a new module in the CCM (due to newer firmware being on the module?)

Now I have read (on a Russian forum translated to English) that if the As built xml file is modified then SDD will recognise the module and allows the correct software to be downloaded and hence programmed.

My question is do you know where this As built xml file is located in the JRL folder?

Also will it matter where in the xml file I make the additional on the CCM/ACC 'new' module? So putting it at the end would be fine will is the list of module in a chronological order?

Much obliged.

 

Hi Bill,

Really good stuff!!

Question -

I don’t see CCM (Climate Control Module) listed ( not common?)
Can you talk about this a bit more? Is the VIN programmed on it? I was told the VIN is etched on a chip. True or fairy tale?

Thank you
