Any car with a OBDII port, that's 1996 and NEWER have the port someplace. Any scanner these days can read the Generic OBDII Engine codes!!! There are also Enhanced OBDII codes that are more Specific for GM, Ford, Chrysler, etc that a cheap Scanner can't read, well some do kind of. Of course there's also ABS, AirBag, Heating

Scantool and Amazon provide the same free software. Scantool also sells more powerful software.

Are you sure you are comparing the same models? They have four models CT14 series and CT15 series, and all look exactly the same on the outside. Amazon does not stock these ultrabooks - they may show it for sale but they use one of their affiliated dealers to fill the order. When I bought one, on Aug 24,2012 - Amazon listed the CT15-A1 for only $50 more than I paid at my local Sams Club ($899 + 6% local Sales Tax). The Visio store sells the same model equipped with a bigger SSD Hard Drive + FREE shipping drive Plus a Two year warranty for $999. Be aware of Configuration changes between various sellers.

I don't know. I set up Amazon - Your Garage, and it tells me if the parts I'm viewing are compatible with my car. It saves me a heck of a lot of time.

Input your type of vehicle which Amazon will then save. Every time you research a part it will tell you whether or not the part will fit the vehicle you specify. This is how I order parts and it has saved me much headache in not buying parts that may seem like they will fit but actually will not.

I'm sorry, but no. There is a scanner for foreign autos. make sure by contacting Actron with the engine type and specifics

Thank you for your interest in our products! Our scan tools were designed to work with any OBDII compliant vehicle. If these vehicles were bought or sold in the US, they would be OBDII compliant. Best regards,

I got a manual when I purchased mine. However, it only included a list of the protocols of barcode styles it can recognize. It was plug and play on my computer (Windows 7 Ultimate) with nothing to install for Amazon.com

The 301180060 is for Android and the 301180061 is for ios so be careful. The dongle works with the free app for "generic" codes and data for all vehicles from 1996 to current. If you want more in-depth manufacturer specific information you can buy more apps from Launch for about $40.00 for each brand name ( Audi is one $40.00, MB is another $40.00 Honda is another $40.00). I believe ther are deals for 5 or more (check on the Launch site). This sounds expensive but the alternative is to buy a tool with them all for between $3000.00 to $10,000.00.

All a scanner can do is read a barcode, which is just a string of numbers encoded in lines. When I use this to look for my books or video games, I log into Amazon and click on the search bar. When I see the blinking cursor, I then point the barcode reader at the barcode, pull the trigger. The reader reads the number, entering it, and automatically pushes enter, which tell the search to find my product in in the Amazon database under that barcode, so long as someone has already entered it into the system. If you have a software that is made to catalogue video games, and it has their barcodes in its system, then you could look them up by the barcode. A scanner only reads barcodes or upc codes, it has no memory of its own, its a useful tool if you have to read barcodes. I look up lots of books in the Amazon database. If a book has a barcode I look it up by that, if it does not I look for an ISBN#, or International Standard Book Number. If I don't have that I look it up by title. Unless you have a very large inventory, you might just look up your item by title. I hope my answer clarified the use of this item. I love mine, and this is a well made scanner/barcode reader. Its a sturdy, professional grade scanner.

Go to a Volvo dealer it needs a different type of computer to read that type of code.

Depends upon the year. As of 1996 all vehicles in the US were required to have OBDII standard codes that could be read from any OBDII reader. Since you are in Ecuador look for a trapezoidal shaped plug under the dash (Google "OBDII port" and click on images to see what it looks like.) and if you have one then you should be able to read the codes. The common rail fuel system has nothing to do with the OBDII capabilities. The truck is made by Toyota so it might, just look under the hood for a sticker that says "OBDII Compliant." Just know that the US government required a specific set of codes that must be able to be read, but each manufacturer adds sometimes dozens of others that often only their readers can find. The Scantool ODBLink MX even reads some of those proprietary codes on my Ram Diesel truck and allows me to click on the code which takes me to a webpage with that code's description.

I am very upset about this. The Amazon website states that maps of US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe are included with lifetime updates. I bought this unit for European driving and bought this specifically for free lifetime European map updates. Even if you go to TomTom's web site, it mentions free lifetime updates. No where on the page for this device does it say that European map updates are not included. I called TomTom and the customer service was horrible. After 20 minutes on hold I explained to a "supervisor" that this was deceptive and wrong and he hung up on me. This company is deceptive and has disdain for it's customers.

Dear C. T. Silva, Thank you for the question. Please note that we did not choose the picture for this listing and can not change it. This is a feature to list matching serial numbered items under the same listing (gives you the ability to compare multiple sellers for the same product). As professional merchants we constantly have to deal with the competition where products are severly discounted even below our aquisition cost. After closer exammination of the picture it looks like the store name you descibed is on a user manual for an unrelated item that is behind the product being sold on Amazon.

John, quick answer: Yes. But you can check for yourself next time by just entering your vehicle information at the top of the screen. Amazon has an excellent electronic catalogue and will look it up for you. Cheers, Ken

Robert, don't buy the Autel DS708 or any other Autel electronic device. After my purchase, when I tried to register the item I couldn't connect with the website. When I tried to send an email to the website it didn't work, when I tried to phone them, it didn't work. There was no way to contact the maker. When I tried to update the device there was no response. It's like the company doesn't exist. The tool does work, but when the time stamp on the available data is reached, I won't be able to use the device on any later model vehicles. It's better to spend the extra money and buy from a reputable dealer, and not a Autel made device. Robert, don't buy the Autel DS708 or any other Autel electronic device.

One more comment, I realized that you can purchase the Nook in Amazon's webpage, you just need to indicate at some point that you are in a foreign country (outside of the US). So no need to purchase throught any other company if you preffer or trust more on Amazon's shopping and delivering services.

There is another marketing tactic going on here besides the fake, "certified, therapeutic grade," trademarked marketing ploy. "Now," and "Mountain Rose," brands had been recommended to me. So, I typed those into the search engine, and was even able to click on wanting only those brands, and I got sent to this brand, which likely paid Amazon for advertising. This is dishonest, as Amazon's search engine should let me know that they don't carry a particular product, and can recommend another (of their sponsored products) rather than taking me to a page so I might misunderstand that this is the brand I am looking for, carried by another company.
