They may offer an exchange program or some way to add to the existing hardware. I’m not sure MY23 D250 Defender 110 X-Dynamic SE, Carpathian Grey, 7 Seat, Electric Towbar

They seem to be a very generous company and have offered exchange programs in the past, so let's hope they continue that process.
I am still hoping for a Christmas Eve announcement of the updated tool, to get our orders happening for the new year. Though I imaging their could be some delay for them to build stock of the tool. |

Just this weekend I was at a Christmas party and Ralf was there as well. We discussed this exact information in detail and wanted to ask him about jlr’s cloud. If a vehicle that was never offered with the option of Park Assist is flashed to the cloud, will it be restored back to the vehicle if a reflash is needed? |

Would be interesting to see how GAP is going to solve this, hardware update or just a firmware update.
Same here, just recently purchased the G3 version, keep us up to date |

As someone who has just bought one that would be incredibly disappointing! |

I think we should wait for the source to confirm before getting too deep into the weeds. First I've heard of a hardware change being needed.

While it needs a hardware update, this is required from a business perspective.. It's going to enable a t least the automated park feature and the ACC also, and who knows? Maybe there is a new feature that was not even find-able without the ability to read/write that "hive" of the driver assistant ECU? It seems the updated hardware is going to be more flexible as well.

This is a bit annoying because I only “upgraded” from my ver2 to the ver3 of the IID tool earlier this year. A bit annoying if I now have to upgrade again!!

Hi Everyone,
While the IIDTool has proven itself very reliable and adept at performing all types of functions on newer Land Rover vehicles including the L663 Defender, many of you will have noticed that a few functions including CCF/retrofits have not functioned properly. This is due to the IIDTools G3s interface which does not include the newer DoIP (diagnostics over IP) standard which leaves us with no choice but to update the hardware and introduce an IIDTool G4. The G4 will enter into production in the coming weeks and we will be looking for beta users shortly. The IIDTool G4 will be marginally more expensive than the G3. In order to ensure that nobody is shortchanged - especially those who have only recently purchased an IIDTool for their newer Land Rover - all IIDTool G3 users will be offered an advantageous exchange program. G3 owners who have activated their IIDTool after the 1st of October 2022 on a 2017+ car will get a special price. Others will also have an upgrade path similar to what we have done previously for G1 and G2 owners. Please be aware, with this change to a G4 you will no longer have functionality on the 2002 to 2009 Range Rover L322. The IIDTool G3 will continue to be offered for these vehicles as well as those currently covered by this hardware. Customers will be able to choose between a G3 and G4 depending on budget and vehicle coverage requirements. We will provide more details after the holiday break. We would like to thank everyone for their patience and loyalty and we would especially like to thank those users who have helped us by providing feedback and helping other users in the forums Happy holidays and a great New Year to everyone! http://www.gap-diagnostic.com/ |

Thanks, good to know I was about to trade in my G2 for a G3 as we have received our L663.
I will hold off for the G4. |

Thank you for clarifying the need for new hardware. Looking forward to increased usability and functionality. I really like the simplicity of the current tool, can't wait to try this new version. Time to go dig up the old receipt!
