Full USA Compatibility
Compatible with all consumer vehicles (cars & trucks) purchased in the USA, model year 1996 & Newer! Whether gas or diesel powered our OBD reader will work with it so long as it was purchased here in the USA and is 1996 or newer.
Exclusions: Heavy duty vehicles (semi's, dump trucks etc), motorcycles, ATV's, snowmobiles, boats etc. Some all electric vehicles also may not be OBDII compliant such as newer Teslas since they do not have combustion engines, though some (such as the Nissan Leaf) may still work with special apps.
International Compatiblity
The location & model year of where the car or truck is located will determine if our OBD code reader will work with as different countries have different laws regarding OBDII compliance.
Australia: 2007 & Newer; Brazil: Petrol 2007 & Newer / Diesel 2015 & Newer; Canada: 1998 & Newer; European Union: Petrol 2001 & Newer / Diesel 2004 & Newer; Israel: 2003 & Newer; India: 2017 & Newer; Japan: 2010 & Newer; Mexico: 2006 & Newer; New Zealand: 2006 & Newer; Philippines: 2006 & Newer; Singapore: 2014 & Newer
Supports ALL OBDII Protocols
The BAFX Products OBD2 car scanner supports ALL OBD2 protocols unlike so many other OBD readers on the market. Many OBD2 scanners claim to work with all OBD2 protocols however most have trouble with the J1850 protocols used by many Ford and GM vehicles. The ISO9141 protocol also gives many other OBD readers issues, this protocol is found on many Chrysler, Honda & Toyota vehicles. We made a name for ourselves by producing an OBD reader that actually works on these protocols!
Faster Read Speeds
Using Bluetooth 5.0 technology our OBD2 code reader can offer faster read speeds than many of our direct competitors. This means less lagging data and closer to real time information than other code readers! Due note however that actual read speeds will vary from vehicle to vehicle as different OBD2 protocols transmit data at different speeds themselves so read speeds are also limited by the vehicle itself.
