     Hello,

    I bought a MD802 after I had been advised that this tool will read my 1998 Saab 9-3.

    After receiving the unit, I hooked it up to the OBD port and the MD802 lights up as it should. But when I go to 'Scan' and 'European' select Saab and the year of built, there is only Saab 9-5 displayed.

    Now I wonder.. Is my Saab 9-3 covered by the MD802?

    When I do an OBD scan, the MD802 scans all protocols and ends without results.

    Also: can my device be authorised for Dutch (NL) language?

    Thanks for your help!

     Hi MarAnSa !!!

    The MD802-All System, olny support SAAB 9-5 with VIN (W - 1998) with the version 2.10

    But you can try to access the diagnostics with that option, since it has the same protocol ...

    For the language change is required to enter the serial number of your tool.

    Regards !!!

    Hi Christian,

    I have tried reading it with the 1998 9-5 option.
    It gives an error at it. It's not very surprising I guess.. The VIN doesn't match a Saab 9-5, what the tool is looking for.

    When I do a basic OBD scan, it scans all protocolls and returns with an error.

    Personally I wonder what use there is to only partionally cover a brand.. why cover a 1998 9-5 but not the other models from that year and the same brand.. If it would have that coverage, the tool would be alot more valuable to its users..
