Add the Discovery I GEMS V8 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.

On a 1996–1998 Discovery I V8 that opens the 10AS alarm and immobilizer, ABS/traction control, the SRS airbag system, and fault codes and live data from the GEMS engine.

What this truck needs

This vehicle uses two codes: the Discovery I Systems unlock and the GEMS engine unlock. Choose the option that matches what your Nanocom already holds and you are charged only for the code you are missing.

  • Your unit started as a Discovery I 300Tdi kit? It already has the Discovery I Systems unlock. You're buying the GEMS engine unlock only.
  • Started as a P38 GEMS V8 kit or a Defender NAS V8 kit? It already has the GEMS engine unlock. You're buying the Discovery I Systems unlock only.
  • Anything else — a Discovery II, a P38 Bosch V8 or diesel, a Defender Td5 or Puma, an LR3 or later: you need both.

Added codes to your unit since you bought it? Go by what it holds now, not the kit it started as.

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 unlock to your unit. It appears in your Blackbox account, and we email you the code as well, with the box number it goes in. Nothing ships.
  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 came with the black CAN BUS cable. The Discovery I talks through the green OBDII cable, so a unit that started as a P38 or Discovery I kit already has it. If yours came with the black cable, add the green cable to this order.

Before you order

  • Nothing ships. Licenses are digital and arrive by email at the address on your order.
  • 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.

Discovery I questions

I have a P38 GEMS or Defender NAS V8 Nanocom. What do I need?

Only the Discovery I Systems unlock — your unit already has the GEMS engine unlock. Discovery I Systems needs the green cable; if your unit came with the black one, add the green.

Does this cover a Discovery I 300Tdi?

No — the diesel takes its own engine unlock instead of GEMS. With this license already on your unit, an automatic-gearbox 300Tdi needs only that engine unlock, and a manual-gearbox 300Tdi needs nothing more.

One tool. Multiple Classic Land Rovers.

The license lives in the Nanocom, not in a VIN. Add a truck once and use it on as many trucks of that model as you like. Add a different one to the driveway later and you buy a license, not a second Nanocom — and if your unit already talks to that truck's engine or body systems, you pay only for the part it's missing.

  • Digital — emailed, nothing ships, no duty or freight
  • Issued against your Nanocom's ID, usually the next business day
  • We check your unit against Blackbox's records first, so a wrong option gets caught before the code is issued
  • Your existing vehicles keep working; the new one joins the menu
  • Non-refundable once issued — ask us first if you're unsure

Buying a Nanocom at the same time?

Order the kit for your first truck — it's activated before it ships, and you can add a second truck right on the kit page. More than two? Add this license to the same order and enter NEW as the unit ID.
