I use it for NASCAR at the races and it works fine with no programming. Just tune to the channel specified and enjoy.

Yes. It is easy. When you go to the track of your choice get the official program of that race and all the frequencies are listed. The radio works great. U can stay right on ur favorite driver or scan. All u do is push in the car number and enter and it goes right to that car. U also get mrn radio network on it. Nice product for a good price.

That is why I bought it for my husband. He googled "Nascar scanner frequencies" and then programed them in to the scanner. He used it at Daytona and was very pleased with it.

It has preset NASCAR frequencies. But, I have never tried them. The search features should also help when at the events.

yes, yes, very easy to use, just put in your zip code and tell it how far you want to listen, then tell it what you want to listen to ex. police, fire etc, and then it downloads your database to the scanner and you start to listen, neat thing is you can replay the last 2 mins of any transmission,,,hope this helps, doug

Yes. There are other formats to which your can select your scanned image to as weell The set up of the scanning drivers and scanner management program did not load correctly from the disk , thus requiring technical call and assistance. Tech Assist was great, responsive, on point and quick. I was up and scanning in minutes after opening the box. The scanner is blazing fast and accurate. We are quite please thus far.

The manual programming is difficult and I had to do a couple of weeks worth or internet research and reading the materials that came with the scanner. After some trial and error, I got it programmed and I left a review this past weekend which gives the step by step procedure I used. Check out radio reference to see if your area uses trunked frequencies. If it doesn't, programming the scanner will be easy. The BCD 396XT can get everything except Project 25 Phase II. If your area is EDACS, the steps I used should be a help.

i would assune it would, i purchesed it to use on my 2000 gmc... if you are not familiar with using this type of scanner there is little instructions & no .pdf file either for a printed manual, so its learn by doing... there are shortcomings...

No - if you haven't bought it don't! I bought one several years ago - it worked for about a month. It was glitchy and cumbersome to use. Brother, who makesthe scanner had little/no support.

I'm not sure of all the applications for this remote; that said, for my car, a 2005 Grand Prix, a very expensive Scantool is required to program it. Essentially a GM dealer or Locksmith will have to pair the car and remote for you.

Yes it does. You just need to be sure they are analog and not digital. This scanner will only receive analog broadcasts. You can find out by checking at radioreference.com in their database.

i do not know. i used the disc that came with and could not get it work on either of my computers. I tried the online software and could not get it to work either. I was able to see the scanners control panel but the controls would not respond. I did not bother to research because my problem may have been the pin cord, I bought a cheap one. my recommendation is to use the high dollar pin connector to usb. Radio shack has one for around 60 bucks

I'm sorry - I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know. But I really thought the scanner did a good job and was exactly what I wanted. Hope someone else can answer your question.

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.

I'm going to say no. I'm in the same boat and was wondering the same thing. It looks like this item only reads some codes, gives some vehicle data, but that's about it. You can't send commands through it (release EPB) or re-program existing functionality (needle sweep on start) of the vehicle. I'll be sticking with the more expensive one out there and know I have something that works. Charge people who want to use it to cover my cost.

It is my understanding and experience that you can run it in anything you can run a regular SDHC. I use it in many things: spycam, camera, computer, etc. I don't have a scanner, but it does work with everything else I've tried it in. Hope that helps. P.S.: I really like these micro's!

Yes you can use this scanner on newer cars, and their good at updates over the web.

I do not understand the question, but the (driver) software that includes the scanner works great. I have worked with photographs, text and documents and it has gone well. I use it for the house.

My mgr elected not to use the scanner so I can't answer your question. Sorry. Other than that, it's been a very reliable and fairly easy to use machine so far. Regards, Ric

Programing the scanner to specific frequencies is very easy. If you're not into reading manuals, you can go to YouTube, which is what I did, and watch a little kid show you how it's done.
