Model Year 2010 to Model Year 1996 Focused Improvements

Special focus on out of warranty vehicles has been the goal of each past scan tool release.

However, the misconception still exists that only the latest model year is added to the software with an update. To help illustrate the focus on out of warranty older vehicles;

example coverage by year, make and model is shown below.
