NOTE: NOT COMPATIBLE with 2008+ cars that use the CAN BUS protocol. Some vehicles up to year 2004 use OBDII (K-Line) for communicating with the ECU, BUT still use the Consult I (14pin) port for diagnostics. The software can be used with our FTDI FT232RL based. The ELM327 chip based adapters are NOT compatible. Compatible OS: Windows XP 32/64bit, 7 32/64bit, 8, 8.1 The Nissan DataScan II software supports factory Nissan ECUs.
