Does it translate the OBDII error codes into warning or text info on Garmin GPS if car malfunction, i.g. tire pressure low, engine too hot, etc?

It only works for the "generic" engine management / emissions OBDII functions. Codes that are proprietary to the manufacturer are not supported. There are a set of "Gauges" functions which can be displayed on either your compatible GPS or an app from Google Play or iStore which you down load to your blue-tooth enabled smart phone. I have not fully explored all the functions, however, my impression is that the phone app has much more capability. I have two Garmin OBDII dongles - one on a Ford Flex (3.5L turbo-6) and the other on a Kia Optima (2.0L turbo-4.) I had a TPS fault, an actual malfunction because the 5 year old TPS sensor batteries are becoming weak on the Ford. The error triggered an instrument panel warning light but did not register on either the GPS or the Android app. I even ran the "query" function and the software reported was that there were no codes present and the vehicle was ready for emissions testing.

If your car was sold in America after 1996, ANY OBDII code reader will work on it. Its is mandated by Federal Regulation.

Don't know, mine was defective so I returned and bought a Garmin, which is much better!

Yes it reads both 1 an 2, you have an OBD2 port so you should have no problem. The majority of people have trouble connecting the port because special sized ports, not the software itself also make sure your battery is fully charged.

Yes it will check for trouble codes, abs trouble codes, live monitor of engine sensors. Also shows if you will pass emission tests. This is a scanner not programmer! Have had at least 3 years and used on many vehicles. Will not tell you exactly what to fix but if engine savy, by showing what trouble code it makes repair cheaper and easy. You can search on the net for code trouble according to vehicle for the DIYer .

I'm sorry, I don't know. I did not need the drivers, the drivers are probably installed with Map Source. The USB cable creates a com port used for the GARMIN data transfer.

The basic obdII functions will work. The ABS, airbag, and some of the advanced tests won't work. I use it on my 2000 volvo v70 and it will check codes, show some live data, and show freeze frame data.

I don't know. You should call or E-mail Garmin and ask. Also, while the cable connected to my GPS, it didn't work. I returned it to the vendor who promptly refunded my money with no hassle.

You need to take your vehicle to a shop or tire store and ask them to read your sensors. If they will not read,then it is bad.

Not sure, my gps does not work right. It gives directions in reverse. Don't buy this gps....not worth it.

Short answer; Comms with car. Longer answer below. I am still enjoying this device. It does communicate with the vehicle's PCM (powertrain control module), though initially you do have to tell the Garmin Mechanic app what your vehicle's engine specs are first, such as gasoline or diesel, engine size, number of cylinders, etc. It needs these for certain calculations, but takes only a minute to enter. That said, you provide initial engine specs then its uses these and info provided by vehicle computer, such as RPM, air flow from air intake, fuel flow, and MPH, to provide much better fuel statistics. On a personal note; I still think this device was/is worth every penny. Rare nowadays. Short answer; Comms with car. Longer answer below. I am still enjoying this device.

I believe it does. You can add it to, for example, a Redline which has no GPS. It will use the GPS in your phone. But the lockouts are MANUALLY done by the user. It can also reduce some falses on a Max because it knows the Posted Speed Limit. If you are below the Posted Speed Limit it will not do a normal alert. It will go into "Cruise" mode with a short alert and go silent.

yes this little thing works great, I was able to read codes on two of the cars I have a 1998 Lincoln Navigator and a 2005 nissan Pathfinder and on both i was able to fix the problem. for the price is a great deal. no need to pay 60 dollars to a mechanic just to tell you what is wrong. I hope this is helpful for you.
