That's a plus in my book. The 9145 is a cheap, useful tool that will
likely do more than you will ever need it to. It's also upgradeable to
newer OBD technology.

Re: OBD-II Scanners
Does not say it is upgradable to the CAN protocols. Won't work on
anything from 2004 (?) and up.

Re: OBD-II Scanners
Not they way I was understanding the 9145 Scanner...are you talking
about the 9175 Reader...not that it matters? I need this to read 1997
Ford, 2001 Jeep, 2003 Jeep, and 2006 Nissan. I believe they are all
OBC-II past 1996. Don't know why 2004-2006 would be any different.
Please explain.

Re: OBD-II Scanners
A plain OBDII reader should be fine for all your vehicles with the
possible exception of the 2006 Nissan.
I did a google search, was not coming up with anything definitive. I was
looking at buying a scanner last summer (working a problem with another
vehicle). My research said that OBD I was a '80's to 1995 vintage
system, plain OBD II was mid 90's (depends on what vehicle), the CAN
system (Controller Area Network) protocol was introduced on SOME
vehicles in 2004, all vehicles by 2008(?) The plug is the same for CAN
vehicles, the software is different. The plain OBD II would work for my
current vehicles, just seemed silly to buy something that would not work
for any new vehicles. Price was about double to get the CAN capability,
didn't buy anything.

I was looking at the IEQUUS products, all CAN capable, didn't buy one.
