Before joining this site I would have said Nanocom hands down. I hadn't even heard of the IID tool.
What do people prefer? Prices are similar, Nanocom slightly dearer.

I had a nanocom on my D2
Sold it with the motor... 4 years ago
When i bought a D3 i bought a IID BT (10 months ago)
IID Wins by far IMHO.... with the app is is sooooo easy... can do everything, flashing ecu’s, update’s, adjusting, error code’s and CCF editing
I do not know if nanocoms are updated now, maybe with an app (or not) but found it far more basic..
And as searider said... customer support is quick and really supportive ( quick bearing in mind that they are on the otherside of this world, different time table)
Nanocom... euhmmm euhhh did not feel Very welcome tbh (exept my money) .. Best regards

Both.
Really it depends on what your use is as the Nanocom will do vehicles that the IID Tool does not.
There's also the licensing differences in that Nanocom you pay for vehicle type and engine type access then have full functionality for all vehicle and engines of that type, but IIDTool it's individual VINs so can be more costly if you have numerous vehicles.
But assuming it's just for D3/RRS/D4 purposes then the IIDTool wins hands down.
The Nanocom is a different generation of tool - it was originally designed for late 90's Land Rover vehicles like the Td5 Discovery and Defenders, P38 Range Rover, etc. It originates from the original Nanocom which has a small black and white screen like a simple calculator. The units that followed have improvements but they're still slow old tech. It's like has been extended by adding in D3/D4/RRS functions but they weren't part of it's original design and intent.
Comparatively the IID Tool doesn't cater for those old vehicles are it was made for D3 onwards so covers these vehicles far better. It's 15 - 20 years newer tech though so you'd expect it to.
I have a Nanocom for our MY03 D2a Td5 HSE and an IIDTool BT for our two MY12 D4 TDV6's. It's the right tools for each vehicle. Mine - MY09 L319 D3 HSE Lion 2.7 TDV6 and modified MY03 LT L318 Discovery 2a HSE Td5 15P
Hers - MY12 L319 D4 Lion 2.7L TDV6
Dads - MY12 L319 D4 Lion 2.7L TDV6

I still have my Nanocom and my MSV Pro, my nanocom has not been used in about 4 years, but still occasionally do use the MSV. Nanocom is a great tool for the TD5, but still not an easy tool to use on the road or day to day use.
The IID is the tool for the modern cars from the D3 onwards.
