I have 4 vehicles in my household and I am wondering if this reader will work on all 4, or I need multiple readers. 03 Jetta, 05 A6, 06 F150, 13 Malbu

I ve used it with bunch of odb2 cars and trucks with the torqe app you just need to set it up

Should be able to work on all of them. It uses the OBD2 interface which is pretty much standard across all cars

While I can't say for sure, I have used mine on multiple cars. 05 Mustang, 02 Passat & 08 Tundra. You may have issues with the Malibu but again I can't say for sure.

Any car year 2000 or later should have OBD2 which this connector would work with. Hope this helps....

Should work fine. The app lets you save multiple profiles and all your vehicles should be equipped with ODBII ports. I'd say jump :-)

Do not know all of these sensors specifically but the main thing to remember is that they are triggers; magnetic, photoelectric, positional, etc. and that they work with another unit to turn that signal into a coil spark through an amplifier of sorts. For cars that have multiple coils like 3 duals for a 6 cylinder, probably not. Separate electric feeds go to each coil and you might need 1 unit for each of them. Also, the jumpers are cut for 4, 6, or 8 cylinder operation, not 2. Call MSD for info.

I got the $16 powertrain upgrade for all models and then used the scanner for any friends who needed a scan. The Garage feature lets you store multiple cars in the same app. I don't have the wired version so can't say if this is same, but with the powertrain upgrade and looking up more info for the codes online I had all the info I needed.

I use this reader exclusively on Windows 7 in a USB 3.0 port. It works well and fast. If your having a problem it may be your particular unit.

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.

If you download the RIGHT program for your vehicles (there are 3 different ones and only one will work for each vehicle) on to your computer and uploaded that onto the chip, I really don't know what else would help. I hope this helps.

All ob2 after 96 but not all Holdens and Fords till after 2006 which where a bit later going ob2, It will not work on early Saab and some Subaru ,but it is still the best little scanner for the price and code connect is a winner,love it

You can use it on multiple vehicles but just one at a time. So you have to put the first vehicle back to factory settings to put it on a different vehicle.

I am not sure. I bought it to read a 2002 Volvo. I am sorry I cannot help you with this.

It should be able to read the codes but you probably will need to research what they stand for online. . The codes usually are like error codes letters and numbers and may be unique to your vw

All autos from 1996 and up have to have OBD II Computer System and this scanner will read the OBD II on every auto no matter what the make. There are many scanners on sale that will read OBD II and will work on your vehicle. Many for much less money. Even Harbor Freight has some. I do not like my Innova 3140 very much. It is difficult to operate. I have an old Xray brand scanner that is easy to use and I like it very much but it only goes to 2000 and I did not get the update for it when I had the chance. I bought this scanner because it was advertised as working on a 1992 Camry with the OBD I computer system but after I got it I found out it will only work on a 1992 Camry with a 4 cylinder engine and not the V6. I contacted the scanner manufacturer and they did not seem to care. I would not recommend this scanner. There are many for sale that are easier to use and a lot less money. It is your call. Any scanner that will read OBD II will work.

I had this unit for many years. Then when I bought a 2008 Ford Focus, it didn't work any longer. It also didn't work on my 2013 Ford F-150. I wrote Actron and they told me that in 2008 and newer cars, the communication protocol changed in OBD-II cars to the newer CAN protocol and I had to get a newer scanner. However, your 2005 should still use the original communication protocol and this scanner should work. I'd email Actron and ask them what that response could mean.

I was curious about this too, as I want to use it for my music collection in my Ford Sync. Did you ever get it to read?

I can't say all the vehicles it will work on. You need to look up the filter diameter for each vehicle and see if they are in the range given for this tool. If they are, then the tool will work great. If they are not, then it probably will not work. That is why you see some low reviews. Buying the wrong tool for the job doesn't make the tool bad. It just means the reviewer made an uniformed choice.

I bought this as a gift for my brother. He LOVES it. It has already saved him money in repairs to his car.Marc Unger's answer is correct. It has a variety of adapters. My brother has used it on 3 of his cars (all of them date from latter 1990's to early 2000's). The Auto Scanner is definitely worth the price. Hope that helps.

That period was considered unofficially OBD1".5" for GM. While not adhering to the OBD2 protocols, It had more functionality than the OBD1 protocols. My 1994 Z-28 was of that period also. This reader was quite compatible with those years of Chevrolet manufacture. So, I would say it is most likely compatible with your vehicle! For the $, it was well worth it!!!

I am using one of these with two openers and two cars. Everything works fine. Car A can open door 1 and/or 2, and car B can open door 1 and/or two.
