For users in Mexico, the Car Scanner Pro Mod 6 will function correctly with US-imported vehicles.

We focus on delivering the best possible experience within our supported regions, adhering to the established North American OBD protocols.
Will Car Scanner Pro Mod 6 Work on My Specific Vehicle?
The Car Scanner Pro Mod 6 is designed for broad compatibility, working with most OBD2-compliant vehicles. This standard has been in place for many years, encompassing a wide range of makes and models. However, the specific features and functionalities can vary based on your vehicle’s year, make, and model.
To eliminate any guesswork, we strongly encourage you to use our convenient Coverage Checker. This tool allows you to input your vehicle’s details and confirm compatibility, ensuring the Car Scanner Pro Mod 6 is the right fit for your diagnostic needs.
Is Car Scanner Pro Mod 6 Compatible with FCA Vehicles?
Yes, the Car Scanner Pro Mod 6 offers significant diagnostic capabilities for FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) vehicles, including brands like Jeep and Chrysler. For FCA vehicles manufactured in 2017 or earlier, the Car Scanner Pro Mod 6 can diagnose all systems.
For newer FCA models from 2018 onwards, which require AutoAuth access for certain functions, the Car Scanner Pro Mod 6 provides partial support. It can perform functions like TPMS relearn and access live data. However, due to security restrictions, handheld scanners like the Car Scanner Pro Mod 6 have limitations. Functions requiring AutoAuth, such as erasing codes, performing oil resets, or battery initialization, are not supported on these newer FCA vehicles with this device.

If you require full AutoAuth access for comprehensive diagnostics on 2018 and newer FCA vehicles, consider exploring tablet-based diagnostic tools like the Innova 7111, which offers this advanced capability.
Can Car Scanner Pro Mod 6 Reprogram Vehicle Computers or Program Key Fobs?
No, the Car Scanner Pro Mod 6 is designed for diagnostic purposes and does not include reprogramming capabilities for vehicle computers (ECUs). It also does not support key fob programming. Its primary function is to read diagnostic trouble codes, provide live data, and assist in identifying vehicle issues. For ECU reprogramming or key fob programming, specialized equipment is typically required.
Will Car Scanner Pro Mod 6 Work on a Vehicle That Won’t Start?
For the Car Scanner Pro Mod 6, like all OBD2 scanners, to function, the vehicle needs to be able to start or at least crank. These devices communicate with the vehicle’s Electronic Control Units (ECUs). If the vehicle is unable to start or crank, the scanner cannot establish the necessary connection with the ECU to perform diagnostics. Therefore, ensure your vehicle is in a condition where it can start or crank to effectively use the Car Scanner Pro Mod 6.
