Yes, it has the OBD-II 16 pin OBD plug and is OBD-II complient. Being a GEMS, it has slightly less diagnostic ability than the later model Bosch Motronic 5.2.1. All the codes are available on this forum as a sticky.
Omitec are the original developer of Testbook Dealer Diagnostic tool, and the present UCM. As a rough idea, you are looking at £4,000 for the full blown T4 system, including all cables, VCM, Acer laptop, software, probes, etc... T4 covers all OBD-I vehicles (such as the RR Classic), and OBD-II vehicles up to around 2005. Omitec's UCM has been developed as a continuation of T4, but is not fully dealer spec. Version 5 of the software has been developed for the UCM and gets close to full dealer spec. The UCM is around £1,500. It is a wonderful system - fast and sleek, but not fully dealer spec as yet.
You can add your choice of real time sensor readings onto the page to help diagnose a problem. I think it has a great future, provided the software guys pull their finger out.
The Omitec Hawkeye appears to be sold through Bearmach dealers. I know very little about it though. It's a scantool/MacTool with the Omitec software on it as far as I can tell, and probably uses the same software as the UCM. For the money, I'd say it is pretty good value for the £300 or so it has been advertised for. Being in the form of a scantool, it makes it very compact and hard wearing - ideal for carrying in the vehicle.
Storey Wilson has released free software for dealing with Electronic Air Suspension faults. All you need is the correct lead, and a laptop to run the free software.
Other options are available in simple single form, such as the EAS Buddy Box, EAS Kicker and other things, but although cheap, they don't offer value for money as they only cover one single ECU on one single vehicle model.
BBS produce their version, although I don't follow prices and form, but there is plenty of info on this forum about it.
So:
FREE - http://www.rswsolutions.com/ - the 'EAS unlock' free software (multi model - all p38'a)
£0 - £250 - BBS EAS Kicker, RSWSolutions + BBS single form devices (multi model - all p38's)
£250 - £1000 - BBS Faultmate (single vehicle/Single VIN), Omitec Hawkeye (I believe multi model)
£1,000 - £5000 - Omitec T4, Omitec UCM, SPX Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS is the present system used for post 2005MY Land Rover vehicles and also offers Jaguar, Ford and Mazda diagnostic as a whole system). All 3 cover most vehicles. T4 covers all OBD-I and OBD-II up to around 2005. It's a little more complex than this as it does not cover Disco3, Freelander2 or RRS, but does cover RR to '06 and '07MY. The UCM V4 software presently covers RRS and Discovery3 only, but V5 is about to be released and is supposed to cover pretty much all the others including FL2 and the Puma engined Defender. The SPX IDS is, not suprisingly, right up to date, but does not cover the earlier T4 covered vehicles.
£5000 + Autologic, which I think was last offered to me at a cool £9k :shock: and which is essentially a reverse engineered LR diagnostic system which relies on its users to test beta versions and develop the software - but that's me being cynical. :lol:
Does this help?
