     How do you select a vehicle older than 1996 with the Maxisys?  I just got the Maxisys pro today, updated it, and was trying it out.  I tried to see if it would get codes out of a 1992 Chevy truck, but I can't find anywhere in the scan tool to select a year older than 1996. I typed in the VIN and it doesn't decode or recognize it as a good VIN number. Loving the device so far, much better than anything I have used to date.

     Hi, kindly be noted that Maxisys can only support cars from Year 1996 (including year 1996). So this 1992 Chevy truck cannot be supported. Thanks!

     Thanks for the prompt reply support. I have to ask, why does Autel include a bunch of adapters that are basically useless?  Is it because every other scan tool company also includes them?  Will OBD1 ability ever become a reality with Maxisys? Being able to diagnose the occasional pre 1996 vehicle is one reason I bought the Maxisys pro.  I went through this with a Launch pad x431, had all the adapters but wouldn't work with anything OBD1.

     Hi Support
    Wy deliver Autel the Maxisys with a GM OBD1 Adapter. It was big equirement for buing your device. Befor i brought my Maxisys i asked your support for GM OBD1 are supported. The answer was, yes we have an adapter. I am happy with Maxisys with Cars from years 1996. But unhappy with an unsupported GM1 adapter.

    Best Regards
