IID tool and cheap Chinese clones

Saw https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/cA5xTrYN and was wondering if anyone knew how it compares to the IID or what the heck it is? It looks like a clone of the manufacturer code programmer but not clear what it is capable of without additional firmware updates from JLR and the line about it locking if it is connected to the Internet seems dodgy.

Some more details from a UK seller:

Apparently it's JLR 'approved'? Rolling Eyes

Also, a detailed review here (Can't confirm its authenticity)

You have to pay extra/subscribe for a lot of the functionality. The unit price is also a lot higher than the AliExpress one.

Personally, as above, I wouldn't plug this into my car. But others took a leap of faith with the BBS tools etc in the very early days so someone might be willing to try it out.

The same with GAP!

As far as I remember, they exploded out of nowhere and everyone bought their products as word got out how user friendly and capable they were.

But at £360 from the UK seller, I'd be spending the extra 50 for an IID.
