The NEW JLR DoIP VCI is a cutting-edge interface designed specifically for Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles. It offers compatibility with the Pathfinder software, making it the only unit capable of working with the new vehicle architectures found in 2017 and newer models.

For those vehicles that are not compatible with the DoIP VCI, such as 2014-2018 models and earlier, the SDD JLR software is still available for use.

To use the SDD and Pathfinder software with the JLR DoIP VCI, follow these steps:

1. Install the SDD and Pathfinder software on your computer. You can obtain the software from the official Jaguar Land Rover website or through an authorized dealer.

2. Connect the JLR DoIP VCI to your computer using a USB cable. Ensure that the VCI is powered and the indicator lights are on.

3. Launch the SDD software on your computer. It may take a few moments to initialize and establish a connection with the VCI.

4. Once the SDD software has successfully connected to the V be prompted to enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the vehicle you wish to diagnose. Enter the VIN and click on "Continue" or "Next."

5. The SDD software will now communicate with the vehicle's onboard systems and retrieve diagnostic information. This process may take a few minutes, depending on the complexity of the vehicle and the specific diagnostic tasks you are performing.

6. Once the diagnostic information is retrieved, you can use the SDD software to perform various diagnostic functions, such as reading and clearing fault codes, checking live data, performing system tests, programming modules, and more. Use the navigation menu or follow the on-screen prompts to access these functions.

7. If you encounter any issues or need additional assistance, consult the SDD software's user manual or contact Jaguar Land Rover technical support for further guidance.

For advanced diagnostics, programming, and reprogramming of vehicle modules, the Pathfinder software is typically used. To use the Pathfinder software:

1. Launch the Pathfinder software on your computer. It may require a separate installation or may be included as part of the SDD software package.

2. Connect the JLR DoIP VCI to your computer using a USB cable. Ensure that the VCI is powered and the indicator lights are on.

3. Follow the on-screen prompts to establish a connection between the Pathfinder software and the VCI. This may involve selecting the appropriate VCI model or entering the VCI's serial number.

4. Once the connection is established, you can use the Pathfinder software to perform advanced diagnostics, programming, and reprogramming of vehicle modules. This includes tasks such as updating software, configuring modules, calibrating sensors, and more.

It is crucial to have proper training and authorization to use the Pathfinder software, as it involves advanced operations that can impact the vehicle's functionality and safety.

Please note that the steps provided here are general guidelines and may vary slightly depending on the specific version of the software and VCI you are using. Always refer to the software's user manual or contact the manufacturer for detailed instructions and support.
