Default Diagnostic Tool for Discovery 5

Any recommendations for a diagnostic tool for a Disco 5. Need to reset oil change reminder, release the EPB, the basic service type stuff. All the ones I found stop supporting the Discovery after the 2015 model year.

Thanks

this may help.

Oil Reset:
1 - sit in the drivers seat with all the doors and hood closed
2 - push the ignition button once, no foot on the brake, we do not want to start the vehicle (called position 2)
3 - with the door still closed, pop the hood with the hood release. This will bind on the door a little, but can be accomplished - just pull it.
4 - open the driver door and stay in the vehicle
5 - hold (depress) the gas and brake pedal for 60 seconds
6 - check the display - it should have reset and you are good to go from another 8000 miles (usually resets in about 15 seconds)
7 - close the hood

Welcome to the forum.
Since yours is a newer Disco, check out the Foxwell NT520 or NT530.

I have a TD6 2017.
Couldn't reset the service with the above procedure: car shows service reset but mileage remain 0.

I bought a Foxwell NT650 pro, (they send me elite) for test. The menu contains 2017 discovery but shows "no communication" when I try to use it to reset service.
However, when I use 2017+ New Range Rover model, I can get service reset same as what I get by pushing two pedals. But when I try to reset oil service, it reads "ECU not supported".
I think it is a diesel vehicle only issue as that there are two difference service reset option in the menu: service reset and oil service reset. I guess that the second one is the one we need to reset to get available mileage back.

I dont have much luck with the customer support, they are responding but kept saying that they would need to find a vehicle like mine to do trouble shoot. Well, TD6 barely exists in China...

On the Foxwell, try doing a "Manual Selection" for your 2017 Td6 instead of "Smart VIN" look up or "Automatic Selection".

Definitely will try this.
A bit more to add on the VIN reading part. It can read out my VIN correctly, but doesn't get the model and year identified.
Any help is appreciated. Dont want to waste money to get dealer reset service.

Foxwell told me they would have the Land Rover update by August. They seem to do a lot of updates.

I had the same problem. There is a software fix from the dealer.
