Diagnostic tool
I'm currently shopping for a good diagnostic tool for my D4. I looked at several of them but can't make up my mind about which I should buy, since they all seem to perform the same tasks at very different price points.
Most important function is to scan and clear codes, and also reset ECUs after performing maintenance (oil change, battery swap, etc.). I would also like to calibrate and work on the air suspension, set height and calibrate. Being able to reflash ECUs would be a nice plus (ie reflashing the EAS ECU after changing the compressor for a superceded model).
So far, I looked at the IID Tool (680$ CAD), Nanocom (673 $CAD), Hawkeye Total (588$ CAD), iLAND or LYNX Evo (530$ CAD), RSW 4DCan (245$ CAD). Prices are before shipping, duties and taxes.
Anyone has experience or feedback to give about any of these?

Plus backup from Pat@GAP is most excellent.

Nanocom also have a new model out that looks pretty good and is cheaper, if you can wait a couple of months ...

The new black box one seems interesting, at a lower price. And available in the next couple of weeks. How is their customer service?
