Ya know, I looked up the acronym "GDS" on Google acronynms. .. There are 45 possible definitions, NOT ONE OF THEM IS AUTOMOTIVE. What NEW cars are supposed to use a system called GDS?? please rephrase your question with more background information and a definition of GDS, also what car are you referring to that use such a system??Regards, DP

All obdii will work with this adapter as far as I know. I use this for a 2003 ford ranger and there are a lot of sopisticated gauge read outs not supported by the ranger but included in the torque program and supported by the adapter for newer and more advanced cars.

This device is just a modem, it will read out what ever the automotive computer will let be read out. GM and Ford should give forth some information via the ELM327 device.

I'm a mobile mechanic and have used this w/Torque free works every time on every car I've tried it with...

I do believe that all cars after a certain date, which was in the mid-1990s, must support a standard OBD-II interface, as this device has. You should be good.

Hi&#65292; It works with all 1996 and newer cars that are OBD II compliant(including CAN protocol)&#65292; maybe you can check it again.

1990 Model GM cars has got very basic Error reporting mechanism in ECU, I've done it on OBD1 port Yukon, really not worth it unless you've got 1996 and above OBD2 supported vehicle.

Yes. You can use this on any vehicle from 1996 on. In 1996, ODBC II was required in all vehicles in the US. Depending the firmware and error code database that is loaded on the unit when you receive it, you might have to do a firmware update for it to recognize all the codes from the vehicle. Easy to do.

It works with any OBD-II compliant vehicle. However, some manufacturers supplement the standard OBD-II codes with proprietary codes. For such vehicles, this scanner will read and decipher the standard codes, plus present the custom codes, but it may not be able to interpret the meaning of the custom codes.

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.

It should works. This device works with any vehicle equipped with OBD2. And from 1996 all vehicles are required to be OBD II equipped.

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.

It should. OBDI was used up until 1995, and that is when they started mixing between OBDI and OBDII. GM didn't switch to the OBD 1.5 (only used by GM) until 1995 for F-body's (Camaro and Firebird), so 1994 should still be OBDI.

I would recommend consulting directly with the manufacturer for this question, in case there are any differences in models of this vehicle anywhere other than the USA. That being said, the OBD-II protocol is the most widely used protocol for displaying diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), so it "should" work.Please also see my full review as I have other thoughts and concerns about this particular scantool.

it works on any vehicle with an OBD connector. look under your dash to the left of the steering wheel

All plugs for OBD1 & OBD2 computers, It will read GM, Ford & Chrysler OBD1 up until. 1995.All OBD2 equipped vehicles from 1996-present year. Hope this helps Jim Hill

Somewhere around 1996 all auto manufacturers had to comply with OBII. So anything from 1996 to present will work with this scanner. This scanner will work with all American car manufactures as well as Europe and Asian cars. This unit does a lot for its size and money. It's worth it. A dealership will charge you $150.00 just to look at it and tell you what's wrong. This unit can save you a lot of money.

I'm not sure that it will. It is intended for use on OBD II type systems ( 1996 - ??) I have used mine mainly on GM products.

I know you want a definite answer, (sorry I cant give you one) however I can say that ive used it on a multitude of vehicles 96-20** ( which is win obd 2 came into mass useage)with no issues.. it should!
