Hidy folks. Ragman here from Chesapeake, VA. I wanted to put it out there that I have picked up a JLR SDD ODBII Reader and software from GB. If you are in the area and have a code that you need read, I'll do what I can to help you out. The Jag dealer here in VAB runs $140 an hour with a three hour estimate to start with. I will charge you nothing as long as I can help. I don't drink often, but I can say that I'd not decline a 12-pack of Killian's or Blue Moon. Not required, but I'll ensure to offer my thanks a smile. As a retired Army SGT, I'm prone to helping military and their families. You can reach me on here. I have all the tech manuals and troubleshooting guides. I an not a Jag tech, but I'm learning from my issues and would like to be able to learn from helping others. Ride hard!

 

Ragman,

A generous offer.

I've moved your post from the end of the Region announcement to a new thread of its own so everyone sees it.

Did you get a Chinese Mongoose clone or the genuine Drew Technologies?

Ragman,


We may know each other from another life, Goodbuddy.


But here's the question you might be able to answer and save me hours of scouring this forum:


I have an '04 XJR and recently purchased a Mongoose (clone) with software. What software version do I need to read my codes.




Thanks in advance.

 

Its actually a British made cable with official software.

Quite possibly!

The JLR SDD software that I got in my kit is what I use.
Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]

 

My Mongoose (clone) came bundled with SDD 134 version 5.04 on 3 DVD's.

There has been a lot of discussion in the https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/g...-33347/page20/ thread on SDD versions.

mine came with two DVDs with the VMware software installation included. Inside the VMware software, the SDD software is already installed. It brings up Windows XP VM. Being the Senior VMware systems administrator for my company doesn't really give me any extra insight other than I know how vMware works. Lol
