Rotunda Ford WDS
Hi guys!
My first post here so let me introduce myself:
I'm a Brit now living in Phoenix Arizona. I recently bought a blue 2000 XKR conv. A few years ago I had a blue XK8 conv. and have ever since missed it so much that when I saw a blue R in my price range I couldn't resist. Wierd how (darker) blues seem to be so rare compared to the other colours.
OK so my question:
I'm not rich so am trying to do as much of my own work as possible on the car, but I keep running into needing an OBD2 tool. I am able to buy a Rotunda Ford WDS cheap, I know it probably wont talk to my car as-is, but would a Ford WDS be fully compatable with Jag WDS software (and if upgraded to it, then do everything a Jag dealer could do to my car?). If so, how hard/expensive/possible is it to get and install Jag WDS software and where is the best place to look? Google didn't come up with anything useful for used Jag WDS software, but it seems a few people on the forums already have it.
I'd like to figure this out before I buy the Ford WDS so I can save my cash if it wont be any use.
Thanks Guys,
Neil.
