Most 2005 to 2012 cars are pretty well supported, but you need to juggle software and firmware versions to read and program all modules properly in many cars.Īs said above, it is recommended for the later / current versions that you have a 64 bit laptop with Windows 7 operating system. The best supported vehicles are the Astra-H (2003 to 2010). Just like Tech 2, Opcom is only good for 16-pin EOBD (2) equipped vehicles from 1996 onwards. I didn't realise that I had an invisble LexMaul unit. And 12 pin ALDL connectors.Īlthough OpCom lists a few vehicles from 1988, they really achieve no more than a paper-clip test would.Īnd very often, they give out nonsense codes.įor instance, I once got "114" which is a turbo fault on a C20NE - Really!!?
