Gap Tool Activations: Australia
Greetings, first time poster and recent new defender owner.

Does anyone know of a company (or person) who provides gap tool activations in Australia? Just looking to get a few basic ones such as disabling auto stop/start, and didnโ€™t want to fork out for the entire gap tool. Iโ€™ve seen similar services offered in the UK and US, but canโ€™t find anything listed for Australia.

Thanks for that, Iโ€™ll give those groups a go. Will also see if anyone AU based on this forum can help.

Just buy a GAP tool and do it yourself. It is an incredibly useful scan tool and can do a lot more than just activate features. It is 100% worth it.

All of the companies that offer activations don't use a GAP tool - they use JLR's Pathfinder software. and change the CCF files the same way it is done at the factory. ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ ๐ƒ๐ž๐Ÿ๐ž๐ง๐๐ž๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ ๐’ ๐๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ (Pangea Green over Acorn/Lunar)

As per cincyrovers post if you are going into ozโ€™s nether regions a gap tool is a great tool to have if anything pops up on the dash and enables some self help,might get one myself as I have been lucky so far with only one engine warning due to dodgy wheel sensor getting in a tizzy, a mechanic reset it and it never came back yet another pommie bar steward down under

Another option is that there are companies that will do it for you online remotely from the other side of the world if you want, they are usually in the UK, all you need is a computer, an internet connection and a cable that they will also send you!!! I could give you an example, but I don't want to give them free advertising here, I will only do it if you expressly ask for it... although as they have told you, having the tool gives you more options and solves problems and costs you almost as much, or only a little more, than what they charge you for the typical remote update packageโ€ฆ.

Without saying their name, I'll give you the price they sent me in an email when I became interested in their services:

The cost for just the adaptive cruise control to be carried out remotely would be ยฃ360.

If you wanted to go for the full package as listed below this would work out at ยฃ780 ( it does work out more cost effective the more options you have )

- Adaptive cruise control
- Advanced offroad
- Configurable offroad
- ATPC
- Dynamic mode with configurable screen
- WIFI hotspot
- 007 welcome screen
- Stop / Start memory
- D350 Genuine power upgrade(mine is D250) Defender 110 SE I6 D250 23MY
