GenesisII 5.0 question for techs	Sign In

I picked up a GenesisII Evo running the 5.0 software along with the OBDII advanced cable. What I am wondering is on imports I am often picking up an unable to read code warning and have been having to resort to utilizing the GlobalII area of the system for various vehicles in the 1997-2000 range seems to do well over 2000 and I have full datastream however as an example my 97 volvo will not diag on any system besides GlobalII. Wondering if one of you guys can point me in the right direction as far as updates or cards etc I may be in need of for this system?

That's because you don't have Euro software in your scanner.

The weird thing though is it did just fine with a 2006 s60, and have had no problem diagnosing BMW, MERC, etc but seems not to want to function on older models. Is is the software itself or just less info from the OBD available on older models?

They must be using a different communication format in the earlier years.

Ah ok, I will do a little hunting around and see what the company offers. I really dont want to go out for other tuning and diag systems just to work with one vehicle.
