Support List

OBDAI provides extensive vehicle coverage, focusing primarily on the US market while supporting vehicles from major global regions based on their OBD2 adoption timelines. Our compatibility extends to European Union (EOBD) vehicles from 2001 onwards for gasoline engines and 2004+ for diesel engines, Japanese vehicles from 2002 onwards, and Australian vehicles from 2006+. Additional regions are supported based on their local OBD2 implementation dates, ensuring broad international coverage for our diagnostic capabilities.

Adapter Guide

We designed OBDAI to support any quality ELM327 adapter, making vehicle diagnostics accessible and affordable. Our software is optimized for both basic and premium adapters, ensuring reliable performance regardless of your hardware choice. The key is compatibility with standard OBD2 protocols – you don’t need expensive proprietary hardware to access professional-grade diagnostics.

For optimal results, we recommend starting with a standard ELM327 adapter from reputable manufacturers like VEEPEAK or OBDLink. While premium adapters offer faster speeds and additional features, our software is engineered to work efficiently with basic adapters, delivering comprehensive diagnostics without requiring costly hardware investments.
