What is PATHFINDER?
PATHFINDER is the all new diagnostic system specifically designed and released for the introduction of the following vehicles.
Land Rover:
* Range Rover L405 (17MY)
* Range Rover Sport L494 (17MY)

Jaguar:
* F-TYPE X152 (18MY)
* F-PACE X761 (18MY)

These vehicles have been designed to communicate with new high speed communication protocols. This allows faster software download, programming and communication, making it faster to use and saving valuable time.
These vehicles can ONLY communicate with the all new PATHFINDER diagnostic software using the new Diagnostics over Internet Protocol (DoIP) Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) unit which conforms to the new communication protocol.
NOTE:
All Retailers must install PATHFINDER to all Jaguar Land Rover Approved Diagnostic Equipment.
Important information:
Symptom Driven Diagnostics (SDD) does not have the functionality to communicate with these 2017 model year vehicles.
PATHFINDER is the ONLY diagnostic tool to be used for the 2017 model year vehicles identified previously.
