I bought this unit for my race bike and use it only for lap times. Works great, but not sure how it works with cars.

You have to buy the DL model to get that feature and then it will, plus alot more. But do buy one, its an awesome toy!

This model does not. The AIM Solo DL (OBDII) does. Does not look like Amazon sells that model

Hi,Yes, this will give you live data from the sensor supported by the OBD System-BrianTuner Tools LLC

As far as I know it will work with any OBD2 system. I asked the same question about my vehicles which are all 1999 and 2000 and was told it would work. So far I have used it once and did not have an issue.

To the best of my knowledge, it does not. Just a USB port that powers it and allows data transfers (updates). I will carefully double check, however, next time I drive my car.

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.

No reason not to. It's supposed to connect with any vehicle since 1996 when Detroit started installing OBD2 ports. Only problem I've heard so far is that the app doesn't yet include all MY2014 vehicles. Tried to connect to a 2014 Nissan Altima the other day, app only went through 2013

Yes. It will read all engine functions and service codes as well as Temp, RPM and sensor readings

I dont think so...i believe 95 and below is obd1..this is 96 and up tool used to scan off obd2 ports ..which is 96 and up vehicles...to read codes on 95 vehicles and below, u have to read number of check engine light flashes..google it

I can tell you it has a "global" function you can use without putting in any information. Simply plug it in the diagnostic port, select Global and follow the onscreen directions. The unit connects and looks for any modules reporting and will let you know what it sees. These are typical functions that most vehicles support. You may not be able to view some custom parameters. For instance, the code connect which tells you verified repairs for certain codes. I can check mine at home and let you know next week if the Porsche is in there or not. I still use this on my 2012 Dodge Powerwagon. If someone else already has that answer feel free to speak up. I can tell you it has a "global" function you can use without putting in any information.

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.

If you want to use it as a programmer, you can. I don't know if it is reccommended. Otherwise i just keep it plugged into the OBD-2 port all the time. It stays just fine. Also you the guage functions don't work if it isn't plugged in.

Yes it does. I have used it to get codes for check engine lights on a 98 Honda Civic and a 02 Ford Explorer Sport.

I searched everywhere for the throttle position sensor with no luck. It appears to be integral to the throttle body. However the car runs great now so it was worth the purchase.

As long as it has a obd2 port yes...if it is a obd1 system then no it won't plug in

yes it will give you live data while driving and will tell you what the conditions were at the time of the engine code was set off..

All cars between 97 and newer all use OBD II. So to your question yes it would, I use it to find out a lot of info to my car like if my censors and if my thermal stat is work right and many more things.

No, unless you are installing a Viper alarm system in a non car application. It has a specific plug.
