     Green death  of terminals of old GMs 16 pin connectors is not all that uncommon

    Could you please provide us the car VIN No.? Have you tried the 12PIN GM connector?

     1G3GS64C614106270, no I have not tried the 12 pin, I can however connect using the OBII software selection but this has limited functions compared to the GM specific, I will try the 12 pin tonight and let you know how it turns out.  Have you had similar results, I have a 2001 GC Laredo that I can connect to using the Chrysler software, confusing why the GM doesn't work?????

     12 pin does not fit OBD II connector on car, it does recognize car under manual diagnostic and pulls up all vehicle info including VIN #, but when I attempt Autoscan everything comes back as no comms as in screenshot attached with original posting.

     when do you expect this to be released, have same issue with 99 GMC truck, should be able to recognize and run autoscan, I am a little confused as why it is not? I have ticket logged regarding this issue but they cam back an said it wouldn't communicate and did not get a screenshot, see below:

    RV29093392


    Autel DS708 will not establish communications using OBD-16 connector using GM V11.10, see screenshot attached.

          I have GM version 10 on my DS 708 with expired subscription from 2014 and from what I recall is that GM version 10 does not autoscan for me either but if I manually select a specific module it usually communicates. Not sure , but I think GM version 10 lost the autoscan capability on the DS 708 around the same time frame Maxisy lost the GM programming capabilities.
      Like I said before, if all the manufacturer's software and functions worked perfectly when our update subscriptions expired, there would be no reason to buy a new update for most of us working on cars newer than 3 years old until we absolutely need the newer model car coverage.
       By artificially having at least one major car manufacturer's software version go into the toilet at any given time while someone's update sub expires and later patching up the worst of it and adding a few new models of new model car coverage and calling it a new update version, you are creating incentive for folk that work on that line of cars to ante up for purchasing another year of updates. LMFAO, Sorry, but  Homey don't play dat game.
