| The Mongoose doesn’t have its own software - I’m using the JLR IDS/SDD software which is why I’m puzzling that the manual for the software shows what I’m looking for but it isn’t there when ... |

| Thanks the 'MongoosePro' (it’s a clone, not the real thing) is a JLR approved device so I imagine it provides full functionality. It’s just odd that the lights mode is shown in the training manual ... |

| OK, I’ve hunted around SDD but I can’t find anywhere to adjust the lights settings. Can anyone say exactly where it is? |

| As I mentioned in another thread, I've just tested out my newly acquired 'MongoosePro' cable and V130 SDD. Initially I had a CTEK charger hooked up to the battery (which may be as old as my 2008 model ... |

| Thanks. I’d read the thread on adding the clock and it isn’t exactly SDD101, is it! But I thought that the key and the light settings might be fairly straightforward as they’re not modifications ... |

That’s a lorra, lorra amps!
P.S. Can you add power supplies together, e.g. would three 40 amp power supplies give 120 amps? |
