Nanocom question

#1 Post by landcrabmechanic » Thu Dec 16, 2021 10:44 pm

Hello all,
I bought the nanocom evolution for my td5 swap, and have a question.
Does anyone know the blue and green cables that Nanocom blackbox solutions sells? Are they actually different?
I need to download the Disco 1 ABS program and they state that I also need to purchase a different coloured cable (green for D1 ABS).

Any info would be appreciated. If anyone on here has a green cable I could borrow for 1 day to check it against the blue one, would be very much appreciated.

Cheers
Scott

From memory one of the two cables does a little more (maybe has an extra wire or two?). I have a P38 and a D2. For one of them (IIRC the P38) I needed the one that has more wires. The one cable works on both vehicles

I was just looking at the BBS site. They don’t seem to have D1 up there. I guess you’re doing a bit of a mix and match. I do have the green cable but I’m in Kelowna.

Thanks for the replies guys.
For the D1 ABS I need the Wabco C program on the nanocom. Which is the same as the P38 ABS.
When I spoke with bbs, I told them my project and they were not too helpful. Oh well, what is another couple hundred for the program and new dongle. I was hoping that my snap on scanner dongle would work as it would save me a bit.
