I cannot guarantee that the scanner will work with all GM vehicles; I have used mine on a 2005 Silverado, a 2009 Yukon, and a 2012 Malibu, and it worked perfectly both reading the codes and resetting the Check Engine Light.

I see no reason why it would not. American cars are pretty standard in this area. I bought mine for a Nissan and it has worked well for clearing the "check engine" light for 2-3 intermittent problems.

Just installed the 8625 and it came with the 8620 disk to install. So it does have the same software.

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.

No, but there is a link to the programing software. It is a quick free download with an easy install.

I used this on my 1997 Mountaineer and 2003 Toyota camry with no problems. But I now have a newer vehicle, 2011 Ford Expedition, and I plan on updating the software from the site. As of this time I have not downloaded anything yet.

nope.This useless product is a software only. You may buy it if you want to waste your extra money. :)

No, it doesn't come with software, but that shouldn't be a problem. Windows should recognize it as an IDE drive and install the correct driver.

Yes it comes with software you have to load onto your computer. Otherwise it won't work.

No idea. We weren't able to get the software to work on our computer...we returned it.

Yes it will work fine. All Chevy's I think up until 2005 shared the same code chip.

It should work on any regular car from 1996 to present after updating the software online. However, in order to update the software immediately after receiving the scanner I had to find an older computer with an older style serial port (so I could access the COM 1 assigned port) and, since the scanner comes only with a USB connection, I had to find a converter from a USB port to a nine-pin serial port. Someone with better programming skills should be able to designate one of the USB ports on their computer as a COM 1, then the USB connection would work. The scanner works great, but the update for the software is somewhat of a pain to do. I see no reason it would not work on a 2000 VW.

Yes. It requires no special software. The only requirements are a power connector from the computer's power supply and a 40 pin data (IDE) cable from the computer's motherboard.

I don't know what it does diagnostics on, but the damn thing comes with a program that my computer wouldn't take. It's junk.

I believe that there is software that comes with the unit that allows you to interface with it, but most of the interaction is done with the PC- like an external drive. If you need just a decent basic standalone obd2 device this works fine. I returned it because I did not like the logging feature. I keep my bluetooth obd2 scantool, which I got from amazon for 22bucks or so, got the paid version of the Touchscan app for 10bucks, I think and that combo works very well. There are several laptop based usb ob2 scan tools that you can find as well

Yes it does.. It works perfectly on my 2008 LTZ.. But software is kinda outdated so that it ain't telling you new town info..

You do not need any driver software for this. The computer will be able to recognize it.

There is software for Latin vehicles but I do not know how extensive the coverage is, I think it goes up to 2007. The included CD contains the manual in English French and Spanish and I believe those three languages can be selected for using the tool as well. Shalom Michael
