I've never heard of Foxwell let alone their NT510. It no doubt comes from Asia somewhere and is a copy of something better from a reputable source. I have to admit I buy from the far east but small items of little consequence.

IMO there are only a few good diag tools, Autel, Hawkeye, Lynx and Nanocom which are established tools. Omitec are the 'kiddies' for software in this field and they produce the software for the LR Test Book.

You may be onto a winner though, who knows, but check the warranty and provenance of this company.

I purchased the Foxwell NT510 and it is a great tool. When you buy the scanner it comes with a vehicle specific scanner module that you download, additional cars cost about $70. My scanner download handles all of the Jaguar and Landrover models. It can read generic codes from a vehicle and it can clear generic codes from a vehicle but without the manufacturer specific module download it is difficult to to precise error identification and troubleshooting. It does allows me to activate the Wabco modulator to bleed the ABS and do a power bleed. It has a live data menu that allows you to select and plot data on the screen as you drive. I used it for instance to monitor my SVS fault to indicate whether or not the SVS switches are being detected when I depress the brake. Great unit.

Can the Foxwell program Disco 2 key fob remotes?


They claim that they can, but has anyone actually done it?

I have been playing around with the Foxwell NT510. It does have an option to change from air shocks to coil shocks. I have tried to do this several times but can't get it to actually change the ECU programming. I followed all the on screen instructions but no luck.


Has anyone been able to do this yet?

Did your NT510 read your VIN automatically or did you have to input it manually?

Did you pull the fuse for the air system and/or disconnected the ground for the SLS pump?
I've heard that the programming won't take if you've done so. Plug in fuse and try changing the programming to coil again...just curious. If it does that and the other items I've read in this thread I'm going to jump on it too.
