So no one tried Enginuity?

 

i use Ingenuity all the time! :rofl:

 

OBDII is a standard, so if it can read one car it should be able to read any. Hence cheap scanners saying they work with any car 95issh or newer

 

Their website says that they only support various Subaru ROM's. It looks like a good program, but I don't see any support for non-Subaru applications.

 

:banghead: Riiiight, it's a tuner ... wow. I was thinking of scanners go me.
There website says "Extensible ECU definitions allow the support of ECUs from virtually any manufacturer" But they only list subaru's on the supported ECU's.

Right. In theory, the tool could be used with a Ford. But you would need to have the Ford EEC-IV ECU decoded first. Similarly, the SCT Xcalibrator - which works for Ford ECUs - could in theory be used with Subarus. But they would need to decode the Subaru ECU before they could get it to work.

 

just because its OBDII doesn't mean they are all the same. There are actually a few different "languages" that are used between car companies. There are at least three different ones


from OBD-2 Vehicle Explorer Scan Tool Browser
ISO - for most cars: European, Asian, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ford and General Motors
VPW - for General Motors, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Toyota and Isuzu
PWM - for Ford


now there is CAN, which is suppose to be standardized across the board, iirc
