    Question Scanning generic OBD2 vehicles

    Hey will the 3.0 scan generic OBD2 vehicles? Namingly imports expecially honda. I understand that they only pull generic stuff. I know there was a beta in the 2.x that unlocked generic vehicle scanning.

    Im really just interested in seeing generic sensors and DTC/Clearing.


    Thanks in advance.

    Give it a shot & report the results.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    OK good news, it works flawlessly on the civic, it does work on the prelude also but it updates really slow.

    So, when I plug into the civic I get realtime information via the sensors and the gauge display is flawless. No delay at all.

    However when I plug into the prelude I get reading but it seems to only update ever 1 second or so.

    I don't know that that would be, if i can get you any more info somehow I will. Just let me know what you need.

    It's likely that it's just an older vehicle. Older vehicles are slower.

    That's pretty cool. I'm going to try it on an Accord this evening and see what happens
