hi

sdd 163 wont work with pre 2005 cars

you need jaguar ids/sdd v130 ideally works really well, I have it and works great

IDS is for pre 2005 cars and SDD for post 2005 cars, any version after after 131 if i remember right don't support pre 2005 cars and iDS is not included

also if your updating, make sure you get both dvd's for software and you also need a heavy duty battery charger while programing, they can take a while and flatten the battery quite quick, if battery goes low you will brick the module.

cheers

Interesting. If it won't work, why does it communicate and give me the fault codes?

how do I get ids/sdd v130?

Thanks

Hello

I have a 2003 XK8 and am using SDD 163 with a Mongoose. I am trying to figure out how to identify the TCM firmware version and that of other modules and do and FW upgrades. Is this possible?

Thanks

This is a general newbie question. Are any parts for the XK8 being reproduced? Is this destined to be one of those cars where we scrounge around salvage yards as the only way to get parts such as cosmetic and interior parts? I also have a Porsche 928 and while I have several vendors for new, used and reproduced parts for Porsche but am having trouble finding any for XK8 cars. Any leads would be appreciated if they exist. Thank you in advance
