My Bad... The shipping alone was $30. The product was about $60. CAD / USD. The unit I purchase didn't have a case, so it was cheaper.

Savannah Buzz, I live in Richmond Hill, just outside of Savannah. If interested I can let you check the thing out, you may be able to figure out more about all of the features than me.
Maybe you can also help me bleed my cooling system. I have had air trapped in it since I replaced my head gaskets and redid the cooling system with the GM thermostat.

$79.90 + DHL of $30ish and it's HERE...
Ok, it showed up last week, but I've been struggling with the software install. Yes, as mentioned before by mrpopo, that's a B**ch! Oh, and my DVD Drive went down, so I had to fix that first.
The reason it's a B**ch is because this tool is a Chinese KNOCKOFF! But, don't let that stop you. The way they get this to work is to copy the original and then send you a bootleg copy of the software, so it needs to be Patched, Keygened, Modified, etc... THAT is why it is so hard to install the software. And, with each update, you have to start over on the install, patch, keygen, etc... But, when it's done, it's Superb!
I got it running last night, and I'm QUITE happy! It does an awful lot of stuff, and not only on the LR, but on MOST vehicles in the world now, including LARGE Trucks/Semis. I already made Adaptations to my Wife's VW New Beetle's Transmission, and have diagnosed a switch in the Convertible top that is sometimes sticking, and am able to reprogram most of the Convenience features, including the alarms, lights, windows, radio, etc...
On the Disco, I reset my Amigos. I had them come on a couple times when my brakes squealed. If I cleared the codes with the ScanGauge before they set permanently, it would clear and go away. But, I loaned my truck to my brother for a few days and he didn't do that, so the codes stuck hard. I've been running with them lit for the past month or so and decided to buy this tool to cure that. It did, and very easily!
I'm anxious to see what else I can do on the Disco. It allows me to adjust some settings in the Transmission, and some other things, but I'll be reading a LOT before I touch anything like that.
Anyone in need of this tool can contact me. If you are local, I will make sure we can get together to read/clear/adapt, etc. This will be at your own risk of course. The reason I cannot loan it out is because it's connected to my Tablet PC and I do NOT loan that out. See Thread HERE to verify if your vehicle is compatible and what options you have.

The box it was shipped in minus the wrapper. I forgot to take photos at first.
What's inside.
All laid out. The decal was NOT installed??? I had to take the end cap off to install it because it would not slide under the caps. If you get one, you'll see what I mean.
Decal Installed and looking pretty. VERY well built, inside and out. Aluminum Casing. The square with holes are lights that light up different colors depending on what it's currently doing.
Ready for Software Install on my Tablet. OH, the Software Install!!! Yuk!!!

be careful cause when you plug the system into in Disco it will transmit a fatal virus into your trucks ecu causing a complete system override and eventually failure! Gotta be careful with things made in Asia 
By the way I was being a smart ***. Im skeptical of these products but I to will be in the market for a complete diagnostic system for my Disco. Im still leaning towards Hawkeye or the other system sold in the UK (forgot the name). Keep up posted on this cause I may have to buy one.... just gotta make sure I update the firewall and antivirius software in my Disco's ECU hehe
