Both. Ignition coil is for Over rev protection if you push the clutch with the cruise engaged. Magnets on the driveshaft are for speed detection.

I have a 328ix and it works perfectly with the steering wheel controls and everything else.

All autos from 1996 and up have to have OBD II Computer System and this scanner will read the OBD II on every auto no matter what the make. There are many scanners on sale that will read OBD II and will work on your vehicle. Many for much less money. Even Harbor Freight has some. I do not like my Innova 3140 very much. It is difficult to operate. I have an old Xray brand scanner that is easy to use and I like it very much but it only goes to 2000 and I did not get the update for it when I had the chance. I bought this scanner because it was advertised as working on a 1992 Camry with the OBD I computer system but after I got it I found out it will only work on a 1992 Camry with a 4 cylinder engine and not the V6. I contacted the scanner manufacturer and they did not seem to care. I would not recommend this scanner. There are many for sale that are easier to use and a lot less money. It is your call. Any scanner that will read OBD II will work.

You are using the NON OBD unit. Connections are for TEMP,RPM, and SPEED. I would buy the ODB version if your car has ODB. Works great.

The package includes the main unit and the OBD2 cable. A user manual is also included but in my opinion, it is not very helpful and it contains a lot of information which does not apply to this product.

Yes, I have not found an OBD II (96 newer) it is not compatible. Actually they have to be compatible by law.

I really cannot tell you anything about the difference between them. All I know about auto's in checking the oil, and putting gas in it. I do not know anything else. I know my neighbor installed them both in about 3 minutes and whichever was the one I received, works great. they just snap in.

the auto xray does come with connections for different makes...you can go online and check out their manual which will give you the info you are looking for...I also purchased the Innova 3160 which has more than the autoxray(my opinion) and covers the newer vehicles for future use..Just a little more money, but worth it...my autoxray is just collecting dust since I no longer have any vehicles that are ODB! I have a 96 GMC 5.7 V8 Surburban

I'm not familiar with the other one but I love the mishimoto. I noticed a good drop in oil Temps even on hot days. Did exactly what I needed it to do!

This device is just a modem, it will read out what ever the automotive computer will let be read out. GM and Ford should give forth some information via the ELM327 device.

Hello, thanks for the question. The difference depends many times on the year of the vehicle. The OE sensors will change protocol or other differences that will require a different model sensor to be used. Safe driving!

What the difference is, I do not know. I have the 511AX and I am extremely pleased with it.

It will read the VIN on the majority of US made vehicles that are CAN OBD II compatible. However this model does not have any print functions.

Worked great on my '91, which is an OBD-I car with no oxygen sensor inside the cat. I don't know when they changed to ODB-II requirements, but it is my understanding that an OBD-II car requires a different cat with a port for attaching an oxygen sensor. Look at your existing cat and see if there is a screw-in port on it with a wire coming out. If so, this one will not work for you.

Sorry Dianne, I don't know. I guess you could compare the bumber stats on the two cars? Good luck finding out. :)

Hello, J. Waldvogel!Could you recommend a better one for an average shade tree mechanic like me? I also need it to read the older OBD-I connector vehicles too. I have an old 1994 Chevy diesel truck that is showing a "Service Engine Soon" light. I would like to be able to connect to it and fix the problem.Thanks in advance!Lee
