Am sat in the XKR & NT530 easy to use & you are right in that both seats moved during calibration but NT530 unit is stuck on "please wait, loading data"

I did the seat recalibration with ignition off then on

Might try it again with engine running

 

I confirmed that Autel AP200 has a seat re-calibrate function, at least for my '07 base. Don't know if it has the SW for the 5.0 etc.

Also, I have re-calibrated seats using SDD.

 

SUCCESS!!!! Both seats now operating normally - back & forwards, no issues. WOW, am really impressed with NT530!!!

So my own observations using the NT530:

1. Very easy to use
2. Setup out of the box is very easy, follow the instructions. I purchased the NT530 from a re-seller who advertised the unit as a "NT530 JLR" but this is not true as you need to install the JLR software onto a micro SD card (which is provided with the NT530 unit together a usb micro sd card reader).
3. Once setup is complete, plug NT530 in & it auto picks up your vehicle details. makes sure both seats are forward as far as possible. You need to do this as when you run the NT530 seat recalibration, the NT530 will move the seat back & the back rest will also move as far forward as it can (I made the mistake of running the NT530 as is and my seats went back but could not go as far back as the NT530 wants them to before it send the back seat forward (I hope that makes sense)).

Finally hat tip to Joe7Bros - Thank you Sir!!!

 

Yes, have done this with Ap200, ridiculously capable unit for the price. I also bought an SDD system as well just to be done with it

 

Thx Jaaaag I just ordered one, will take weeks though I imagine to get here, thats ok it is still mainly in hibernation for now anyways.

 

Got mine today hooked up to car and it recognizes vehicle cleared my po430 but i see no where to try and reset my seats . I am not in office but till next week only have phone. Do i havexto downnload something to get it to do more?

 

from memory, once the NT530 picks up your car details, you will need to select "special function" & then modules. From here scroll down the module list until you see "seats" and there are two reset/recalibration options. One for the driver & one for the passenger seats.

 

Never saw soecial functiona saw modules but nothing when i clicked on it

 

I have to eat my words. Had to get my seats calibrated today. HIGHLY recommend British Performance in Mission Viejo

 

Hmmm, thats weird as after you select modules you should see a list of items , e.g. AC/Wing Mirrors/Seats etc. Before this part there is either an option to select "function" or "special function".

Might be an idea to hook the NT530 to your laptop & check with Foxwell auto assist that JLR software is up to date. Then again the NT530 did pick up your car details so that would suggest software is ok

Am travelling at the moment ( Easter bank holiday here in UK) but will check the steps to get to seats recalibration & post it

 

Thx Jaaaag but I think i have to activate this and download the jag software, thought this would have bern done already but apparently i have to manually do this

 

Hi Canadacat, yes the folks who sell the NT530 advertise as "NT530 JLR" giving the impression that the JLR software is already installed.

Alas you have to activate the NT530 & install the JLR software using Foxwell auto assist.

 

Cool once i got the activation downloaded , it was pretty easy to use but like tge ones before me car has to be running to calibrate successfully.
Thanks

Can my Icarsoft i930 Pro be used to recalibrate the seats? My driver seat won’t recline the way it used to after my battery died. It’s set at about 100-110 degrees. Could use that extra 10-20 degree recline for extra comfort.

Even if not to recalibrate, can it be used to move the seat and then I can I set my memory?

 

If it does, there should be a specific routine defined in the i930. It may be part of a specific jlr software package on that unit. If it does not, for about $70 you can get the Autel ap200, which will pair with your smartphone and definitely does have the routine. Make sure you specify the jlr software package when you order the AP200..

 

indyx358,

Sent you directions via private message.

much appreciated Mike! I’ll give it a go when I get home today and will update the group on it. Cheers!!

 

I had an icarsoft and it wouldn't fix the seats , bought a foxwell and it did.

 

Which Foxwell model did you use? The 360 for $150? 1009 for $650? Something between those? It's probably easier to use than SDD, but may be about the same cost. Or more. I dunno.
