also thank you roberttf you sir are a true genius, thanks for taking some time off from witing programs for NASA to write a program for my NAS Disco

Just coping this post for some instructions for anyone who is also going to do this

This is what I did:
Downloaded robertf's .zip file and extracted it to a folder on my desktop. (WIN XP)
Opened up a Command Prompt box. C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\Desktop\Gems
Plugged in the https://www.scantool.net/obdlink-sx/ to the OBD2 port, then plugged it into laptop. It was using COM 4 on my laptop.
Then, with key on engine off,
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

HUZZAH! Now for a 60 mile drive.

OMG!! i do not know what is more shocking, That we CAN do resets on our own OR that Mr4x4 is still using XP!!!;-)

 

haha ikr

 

XP for sure! It's as easy as DOS to hack.

 

Thats the old version that some people had problems with on windows. mac version is fine.

here is the updated version, windows only.

And I feel like I should add you don't have to use the cabled version, and if you've got the extra $20 and some time to goof around with bluetooth pairing on the PC (not really that big of a deal, but it never seems to work the first time) I'd go with the LX.

Its elm compatible, not that that means much to normal folk, but if you've been meaning to buy a bluetooth adapter so your android phone or tablet can run torque, and your PC also has bluetooth this one works and is the one I used when developing the program. Like I said above you'll have a couple extra steps to pair it to the PC so it recognizes it as a serial port, but its sort of future proof since it can be tweaked to talk to protocols that other OBD2 scanners can't (like GEMS diagnostic mode.) Works on mac too. Heck most of it was written between a mac and linux box, thats why the first version ported to windows so crappily.


Unfortunately they don't make one that works with BLE on IOS, so if you're cheap and don't plan on owning anything Android go with the cable.

 

ok so my obdlink sx came in today and i followed all the steps but my computer stays stuck on connecting to com4, does anyone know why this is or how to fix it thanks.

 

also tried windows xp to no avail, the drivers im using are these Virtual COM Port Drivers should I try other drivers? It just stays stuck on connecting then one dot.

Sounds like you are using the old version. I checked the link and for some reason the text is correct, but the URL isn't. I don't know how, I copied and pasted from the browser link,but this board is really screwy. It'd be nice if the bugs were fixed, the mobile app didn't jump to an unrelated thread when replying, and the ****ing ads would stay in static locations (or go away completely) rant off


try this link, copy and paste it. should be 1 file in the zip folder

Haha, yeah I love land rover forums but there is room for improvement lol. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply, I'll try that new version when I get home, and if it works I'm gonna make a youtube video and post it here on how to do it.
