    It can support parts of vehicles models after the year of 1996(included).If you want to confirm it, please provide us the car model, year and VIN.

    So sorry, this vehicle is too old, I am afraid our product can't support it.

     thats very disappointing cause when i saw that the product came with obd1 adapters, i assumed it would work and i bought it thinking so. im sure its all programing so get to it! or ill have to consider other options when my subsciption ends.

     Anyone wishing to join in a class action lawsuit against Autel for telling us the maxisys came will all OBD1 connections but left out the part they are useless due to the machines incapability to utilize them can call Jackie at 334-774-5460.
    We certainly would not have purchased the equipment if we had not been misled.
    I personally was told it would work on all OBD1 and OBD11 domestic and foreign.

     If your products cannot support OBD1 and OBD1.5 then why do the kits come with a full suite of OBD1 connectors? All vehicles prior to 1996 built in the US were OBD1. What good are these connectors if your products do not support OBD1?

     OBD 2 was mandatory in the USA for most car makes in 1996 but besides having the familiar 16 pin connector for generic OBD 1 functions for test lane access, many older model OBD 2 certified cars still retained the older OBD1 style connector under the hood or even under the dash for access to more in depth diagnostics, bi-directional active tests and access to other systems on the car, like the ABS, Air Bag , and body modules.Older  BMW , Mercedes, Toyota , and Nissan sold in the USA come to mind and still required the OBD 1 adapters to access other systems . In some foreign countries back in 1996 , the cars might not have been mandated to implement the familiar 16 pin OBD 2 connector yet by 1996.
