Will UltraGauge Blue work with my vehicle?
The following must be true:
1. "OBDII Certified" is printed on the vehicle's emission decal or in the vehicle's manual
2. Your vehicle is not listed on our compatibility exceptions list: Compatibility Exceptions
If you can not answer #1, please contact your vehicle's manufacturer.
USA Customers
All light trucks and passenger vehicles sold in the USA since 1996 are OBDII compliant. While OBD II compliance was federally mandated in the USA in 1996, some vehicle makes and models were compliant as early as 1994. Compliance is indicated on the vehicle's emissions decal located in the engine compartment. Below are examples of emission decals.
International Customers
Please confirm that your vehicle is OBDII certified. UltraGauge Blue is only compatible with vehicles which are OBDII certified. While OBDII compliance was mandated in the USA in 1996, this is not true internationally. Most countries eventually did adopt the OBDII standard. However, vehicles sold prior to OBDII adoption may or may not be OBDII compliant. For example, Australia did not adopt the OBDII until 2006. However, many pre-2006 vehicles are compliant, many are not. If you are uncertain, please contact your vehicle's manufacturer.
