Add-On License: Discovery I 1994-1998 300Tdi

Add the Discovery I 300Tdi to the Nanocom you already own

The Nanocom license belongs to the tool, not to a VIN. When you add a vehicle to the driveway, you don't buy a second Nanocom — you buy the unlock for that vehicle and enter it into the unit you already have. Your existing vehicles keep working. The new one appears in the menu.

Extinct Motorsports is the Official US Reseller and US Service Center for Blackbox Solutions: you order here, and your code is checked, applied and supported from Virginia.

On a 1994–1998 Discovery I 300Tdi that opens the 10AS alarm and immobilizer, ABS/traction control, the SRS airbag system, and — with an automatic gearbox — fault codes and live data from the engine.

What this truck needs

This vehicle uses up to two codes: the Discovery I Systems unlock and the 300Tdi engine unlock, and it talks through the green OBDII cable. A manual-gearbox 300Tdi has no engine computer, so it only ever needs Discovery I Systems. Choose the option that matches your gearbox and what your Nanocom already has, and you are charged only for what you are missing.

• Your unit started as a Discovery I V8 kit? It already has the Discovery I Systems unlock and the green cable. With an automatic gearbox, you're buying the 300Tdi engine unlock only. With a manual gearbox, don't order: your unit already reads everything the truck has. Choose Discovery I Systems unlock (comes with Discovery I V8 kit).
• Started as a P38 2.5TD diesel kit? It already has the diesel engine unlock the 300Tdi uses, and the green cable. You're buying the Discovery I Systems unlock only, whichever gearbox you have. Choose 300Tdi / 2.5TD DSE diesel engine unlock (comes with P38 2.5TD DSE kit).
• Manual gearbox, and your unit started as a P38 GEMS or Bosch V8 kit? It has the green cable. You're buying the Discovery I Systems unlock only. Any other unit that already has the green cable takes the same option. Choose Manual gearbox (Discovery I Systems only): my Nanocom started as a P38 GEMS or P38 Bosch kit or already has the green cable.
• Manual gearbox, anything else — a Discovery II, a Defender, an LR3 or later: you're buying the Discovery I Systems unlock and the green cable. Choose Manual gearbox (Discovery I Systems only): none of the above (includes the green cable).
• Automatic gearbox, and your unit started as a P38 GEMS or Bosch V8 kit? It has the green cable but neither code: you need both. Any other unit that already has the green cable takes the same option. Choose Automatic gearbox (Discovery I Systems + engine): my Nanocom started as a P38 GEMS or P38 Bosch kit or already has the green cable.
• Automatic gearbox, anything else — a Discovery II, a Defender, an LR3 or later: you need both codes and the green cable. Choose Automatic gearbox (Discovery I Systems + engine): none of the above (includes the green cable).

Added codes or the other cable since you bought it? Go by what your unit has now.

If you chose the wrong option: we see what your unit already holds. If you owe more, we contact you before issuing; if you paid too much, we refund the difference.

Finding your Nanocom ID

The Nanocom Unit ID box needs your unit's six-character ID. To find it:

1. Power up the unit — plugged into a truck, on the 12V supply, or over USB.
2. Go to NANOCOM → SETUP → NANOCOM ID.
3. Write down the six characters exactly as shown. They're case sensitive: A1b2C3 is not the same as A1B2C3.

Buying a kit in the same order? Enter NEW and we apply the code to your new unit.

How the code reaches you

1. We review your order, check your unit at Blackbox, and order the code against your unit ID — usually the next business day.
2. We apply the code to your unit and email it to you. The email gives the box number it goes in, and the code also appears in your Blackbox account. If your selection includes a cable, it ships from Virginia and shipping is charged at checkout.
3. On the unit: NANOCOM → SETUP → UNLOCK CODE. Clear each box, type the code exactly as issued, switching the keypad between upper and lower case as needed.
4. Scroll to the last page, press Save Unlock Code, then power the unit off and back on. Your new vehicle is in the menu.

If a vehicle reports "Function Locked" afterward, a code went into the wrong box — each code is numbered and has its own slot. Email us and we'll sort it out.

Do I need a cable as well?

Only if your Nanocom doesn't have the green OBDII cable. The Discovery I talks through the green cable, and every P38 and Discovery I kit ships with it. If yours doesn't, choose an option that includes the green cable: it ships with your order, so you don't need to add the cable separately. Already have it? Choose the option that says so.

Before you order

• The license arrives by email at the address on your order. Checkout asks for a shipping address on every order. If your selection has no cable, nothing ships and checkout shows License by email: no shipping, at no charge.
• Non-refundable once issued. A code is generated for one specific Nanocom and can't be reissued, reassigned or reused. That's Blackbox's policy and it applies wherever you buy. Check your engine management and your Nanocom ID before ordering, and ask us if there's any doubt.
• Nanocom Evolution only. If you have a Nanocom LITE, the upgrade path is a different product — email us.
• Buying a used Nanocom? Find out which licenses it already carries before you pay for more.

Manuals and ECU guides for every vehicle are in our Nanocom Documentation Library.

Don't own a Nanocom yet? Start with a full Discovery I kit — GEMS V8 or 300Tdi, whichever you have — and then add more capability if needed.
