will this scanner work on my 1999 ford f350 7.3 powerstroke

it will work to check your engine codes, but you may not be able to monitor things like boost pressure or exhaust gas temperature. I've used my name to diagnose my 2012 Volkswagen Jetta TDI

No! Just got one and it only works with key on engine off. Engine will not start , just cranks. Connect the Bluetooth while engine running kills engine. I'm pissed.

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

That's a good question, and I don't know. It works on most models. You can always ask the sender, or, if it doesn't work, return it.

The scanner should work with ANY OBD-II system. It may not have "extended" codes for Minis, but you can always look those up on line.

As long as you have a OBD2 port, it should work. I have it for my 2007 Ford Focus and it works great.!

I had this unit for many years. Then when I bought a 2008 Ford Focus, it didn't work any longer. It also didn't work on my 2013 Ford F-150. I wrote Actron and they told me that in 2008 and newer cars, the communication protocol changed in OBD-II cars to the newer CAN protocol and I had to get a newer scanner. However, your 2005 should still use the original communication protocol and this scanner should work. I'd email Actron and ask them what that response could mean.

It should work on any regular car from 1996 to present after updating the software online. However, in order to update the software immediately after receiving the scanner I had to find an older computer with an older style serial port (so I could access the COM 1 assigned port) and, since the scanner comes only with a USB connection, I had to find a converter from a USB port to a nine-pin serial port. Someone with better programming skills should be able to designate one of the USB ports on their computer as a COM 1, then the USB connection would work. The scanner works great, but the update for the software is somewhat of a pain to do. I see no reason it would not work on a 2000 VW.

Will not work with any cars that are 1995 or older. Works on cars that are 1996 and newer that have the OBD2 (On Board Diagnostic 2 series) connection that is usually located under the dash inside the car below the steering wheel. If your vehicle is a 1995 or older look for the OBD 1 scanners.

i do not know. i used the disc that came with and could not get it work on either of my computers. I tried the online software and could not get it to work either. I was able to see the scanners control panel but the controls would not respond. I did not bother to research because my problem may have been the pin cord, I bought a cheap one. my recommendation is to use the high dollar pin connector to usb. Radio shack has one for around 60 bucks

I have not start to operate the scanner yet, but it should work on all 1996 and after vehicles.

As others have said, it plugs into the OBD II socket on any car equipped with such a socket, that is, any '96 or up model by any manufacturer. This item is NOT a scanner, but gives you 5 more feet of reach with a scanner. If, as has been suggested by others, your car is too early to have OBD II, then this item is irrelevant to your car's diagniostic system, which is probably OBD I, like my '94 Saturn. On that car, I can read the limited codes OBD I provides simply by jumping a couple of the pins on the OBD I socket under the dash. Google a bit to see what will work for you. Good luck.

According to the Scangauge website it will work with any car that has the OBDII connector. It also says that those connectors are on all "1996 and newer cars and light trucks". So it should work.

I would think so it works on my 97 Lexus, I think it's any model 1996 & newer as long as the obd port is compatable

Thank you for your interest in our products! Our scan tools were designed to work with any OBDII compliant vehicle. If these vehicles were bought or sold in the US, they would be OBDII compliant. Best regards,

Any car with a OBDII port, that's 1996 and NEWER have the port someplace. Any scanner these days can read the Generic OBDII Engine codes!!! There are also Enhanced OBDII codes that are more Specific for GM, Ford, Chrysler, etc that a cheap Scanner can't read, well some do kind of. Of course there's also ABS, AirBag, Heating

This Scan Tool will work on MANY OBDII vehicles. OTC's web site should have the application info. I have used it on all my GM (Chevy and GMC Truck) vehicles as well asJeep and Ford with very good results.

All you need is a vehicle 1996 or newer and hook it to the OBDII test port. Done, follow the directions. The scanner plugs right in.

It's an OBD2 scanner, should be compatible with all cars built since 1996. Once you get the code then just Google the error code to get the full details.

I had access to a GM scan tool. You will have to bring it to the dealer to program to fob to your vehicle
