What vehicles are supported?
All cars from model year 2001 onwards work with OBD diagnostics in MechMind. The level of access depends on the protocol used:
| Model year | Protocol | What works | Adapter needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2001–2009 | OBD-II | Engine faults & basic data | Any BLE ELM327 |
| 2010–2020 | CAN | Full access (live data, DTCs, PIDs) | CAN-capable BLE adapter |
| 2021+ | CAN-FD | Full access incl. newer modules | CAN-FD adapter required |
Some Volvo and Ford models from 2010–2020 may require a CAN-capable adapter (rather than a basic ELM327) to access all modules.
