Tested it on a BMW that has the same port. It reads the code, but will not clear it. It MAY read the fault code on a honda/toyota/nissan, but may have trouble CLEARING the code or turning off the malfunction indicator light on your dashboard.

Im sure it will . The software is well equipped for vag.....( Volkswagen Audi group ) cars. Im extremely happy I bought mine & saved probly 10 times what I paid by shutting off airbag light & other computer checks just in the first use.

Works on all cars after 1996, for android download TORQUE from the marker (full version is best). It works with all OS, Mac, Windows and Linux , but torque is the best. Also the device is comming with miniCD with software but I never check it. TORQUE IS ALL YOU NEED.BT code is 1234

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.

Assuming you mean what car models are supported, any with an OBD 2 port. I have personally used mine on a 2012 VW and a 1997 Dodge Dakota without issue.

Just tried it on a 2009 Jetta TDI. It connects but will not return any codes. When I try to scan the OBDII codes, it says scanning but never returns a code (check engine light is on, so there's certainly a code there). Waited over 5 minutes and nothing returned. Also tried scanning the engine under the VW/Audi section. Same thing. I believe that VW modified the CAN-BUS some time around 2007, and this tool won't work on something newer. I plugged it into my 2014 Passat TDI with the same results.

It's technically not a scanner as I found out. Though it has to scan to gather data from the PCM, this is only a code reader. If you want want a scanner, you need to investigate further. Regarding the cables, there are four cables included in the box. Individual cables for GM, Ford, and Chrysler OBD I compliant vehicles. A single OBD II cable which will work on all OBD II compliant vehicles, including GM, Ford and Chrysler products.

No this scanner can not read codes best scanners to look at would be the innova brands on amazon I sent this scanner back because it was a old model that the manufacturer would not support nor was there updatable. Find the innova model 3130b/1303 this scanner can read all supported codes on OBD I and OBDII AND You get a free ABS/SRS Upgrade with it. Hope this help.

According to the Scangauge website it will work with any car that has the OBDII connector. It also says that those connectors are on all "1996 and newer cars and light trucks". So it should work.

I really don"t understand the question. This works on all OBD cars per the current standards. It offers vehichle specific codes and live data, It works on my Audi, Jaguar, Mercedes, Saab, Ford and GMC. It does not address the propriatary stuff in mercedes star system, but for most normal needs, emission errors, sensor, o2, temp, running data, rpm spark advance, load. It does great. It probably won't tell all transmission questions, or certain air bag indicators. This is far better than the many inexpensive ones, and in my opinion, well worth the premium in price. But, you have to be able to understand and interpret what you read.

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.

No, it will only read the engine's ECU. You'd need a different interface in order to talk to the transmission or ABS.

It works with all US cars because ODBII interface is required by law. If you are in other country, check if your car has ODBII connector http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-board_diagnostics

All OBDII compliant vehicles will work with the scanner. Look for the connector under the steering wheel that connects to the scanner. Also ask your dealer if your vehicle is compliant if you can't find an answer. Also try on-line.The scanner will guide you through the process and they have a great instruction guide.

Not sure which model you refer to here, but if your car is newer than 1995; when most cars converted to OBD-II interface and switched from the rectangular OBD-I port to the Diamond shaped OBD-II port, it "should" work as described. As for your method of reading the information ... the unit comes with some software that can be run on a Laptop if you have Bluetooth capability ... OR ... you can download an application such as Torque, OBD Doctor or Carista on your smartphone.

Probably not. I have this scanner. Doesn't work with quite a few things. And I doubt it will work for that car.
