Will UltraGauge 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.

OBDII - Warning
OBDII is being replaced in a transition period starting in 2023 to 2027. In 2027 All new vehicles will use a new standard and new vehicles may no longer support OBDII. UltraGauge is currently OBDII only. If your vehicle is 2023 or newer, please confirm that it is OBDII compliant....read on

USA Customers
UltraGauge is compatible with most (see above) 1996 and newer foreign and domestic vehicles sold in the United States.  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 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.

UltraGauge™ is an automotive information center and OBDII scan tool. UltraGauge is compatible with all vehicles that are OBDII certified. However please check our compatibility exceptions page to determine if your vehicle will fully benefit from UltraGauge. If you vehicle does not have an emission label that indicates OBDII compliance, please check the owners manual. UltraGauge does not support OBDI. OBDI was loosely supported by vehicle manufacturers prior to 1996. For international customers, OBDII certification may be difficult to determine. Please be sure to check all the various labels found under the hood and adhered to the body in such places as the door jambs. If the certification stamp can not be found, please check the owners manual. If it is not printed in the owners manual, please contact the vehicle manufacturer's customers support.
UltraGauge can be used to monitor various engine parameters, such as coolant temperature, Oxygen sensor voltage,intake manifold pressure, RPM, Intake manifold incoming air temperature, boost pressure, ambient air temperature, etc.  UltraGauge also provides fuel usage gauges, such as average MPG, instantaneous MPG, Distance to Empty, Fuel tank level, Time to empty, etc. UltraGauge can also act as a trouble code scanner (code reader).  UltraGauge can clear trouble codes and turn off the check engine light.
