Purpose of this article is to answer if your vehicle(s) will work on an OBD2 / OBD scanner. (Wikipedia: Onboard-diagnostics)

UPDATE: In a telephone conversation Friday, Sept. 11, Vinli's CEO, Mark Haidar, told us that the Vinli device's communication with the OBD-II port is one-way, and that the device only receives. Purpose of this article is to answer if your vehicle(s) will work on an OBD2 / OBD scanner. (Wikipedia: Onboard-diagnostics) Such diagnostic testing tools 1 will scan, diagnose and read nearly all OBD2 vehicles in the world. Some also have include OBD1 support for handful of older cars.

Such diagnostic testing tools¹ will scan, diagnose and read nearly all OBD2 vehicles in the world. Some also have include OBD1 support for handful of older cars.

So basically all you need to get started with scanning your vehicle with any scan tool - is to FIRST find out if your vehicle is OBD2 compatible.

Simple click below on COUNTRY WHERE YOU LIVE. (NOT the country where car is manufactured.)

(Below information also applies to any OBD diagnostics scanner/reader in the world, in any country. It's meant to be the most accurate, universal and up-to-date OBD2 compatibility report on the web.)

¹Throughout this article, we'll use OBD2 Scanner as example for all OBD2 / OBD scanners on the market. It basically refers to ANY scan tool brand/product/manufacturer.
