The Enhanced VIN reading for GM, Ford and Chrysler ensures that you will get VIN readings when standard OBD tools can not!

For generic readers see VINtrack-EZ OBD below.

New for 2006; Enhanced VIN reading for GM, Ford and Chrysler. This software will pull VINs from vehicles that generic readers can't. For generic readers see VINtrack-EZ OBD below. OBD-II VIN, OBD2 VIN readers.

With the average age of a stolen vehicle being 7 years old, our enhanced readers with specific protocols can access VINs that generic OBD readers can not. We have pulled VINs from 1995 Fords and 1996 GM products.

All generic scan tools can only access the Powertrain, no matter what SAE Modes (J1979/J2190) they use for communication. With our expansions, you can access dozens of systems (ABS, transmission, GEM, SRS/Airbags, Instrument Cluster, etc.) generic scan tools can't even see. This gives you access to thousands of sensors and dozens of bi-directional controls/system tests including mileage when reported. Click on the following makes to see enhanced data available: Ford, GM, Chrysler.

We work closely with AutoEnginuity and chose their vehicle diagnostic software for OBD ECU VIN and data reading. This software is enhanced for our VIN purposes and is also a complete vehicle diagnostics program. that also retrieves the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and other pertinent data from OBD-II compliant vehicles (1996 and newer SAE J1979). Our newest CAN enabled version will ensure that it will communicate with the upcoming protocols to be in place by 2008. CAN is currently required for Ford, Jaguar, Mazda, and some Mercedes, Nissan, Porsche, Toyota, and GM.

We offer AutoEnginuity’s SP05 Domestic OBD-II ScanTool Bundle for $629.95 (they sell it for $699.95); this bundle has enhancements for GM, Ford and Chrysler. We ship it with our specific auto theft detection manual as it relates to your job and the OBD VIN software. The enhanced product we sell (and the one you need to pull extra VINs) is the SP05 Domestic OBD-II ScanTool Bundle. Other make enhancements are available.

Our goal has always been to provide the best and most affordable solutions to the industry. If you have found better solutions let us know and most likely we can offer them to you at a reduced cost such as the EZ OBD VIN reader from Autel Geniscan...see below.


OBD ECU data information
The Society of Automotive Engineering (SAE) recommended that VIN data be available from the vehicle's computer, SAE J1979, Mode 09 (1997). CARB mandates that all 2005 models report the VIN from one ECU per SAE J1979 (Title 13, California Code Regulations, Section 1968.2(f) (4.8)). Some 2000 model year vehicles started adding the VIN and many began in model years 2002.

As manufacturers comply with the standard to add the VIN our software will be ready to pull it out without having to upgrade it.  VINs will be mandatory starting in 2007. This software has enhanced modes for GM, Ford and Chrysler VIN's ensuring VIN reads that standard OBD readers can't access. For generic readers see VINtrack-EZ OBD below.

VINtrack EZ Memory OBD (Item #EZMEMOBD)

This OBD CAN reader is a step up from the EZ OBD in that it displays the full VIN on one line and it retains all the data in memory as well as displays DTC definitions on screen.

Even though this is a generic reader we have pulled VINs from 2000 model year Land Rovers, 2001 Fords, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Plymouths, Kia, Honda, Toyota, GM and many others. It works with all 1996 and newer cars & light trucks that are OBD II compliant (including the CAN, VPW, PWM, ISO and KWP 2000 protocols). As a general rule these generic readers only pull newer vehicle VINs as they work with the SAE standard, not proprietary code as our OBD ECU VIN reader does.

Currently the Geniscan GS400 will not pull out older VINs as the above OBD ECU VIN software can, but it is quick, easy, and very affordable. The entire VIN displays on one line and is stored in memory.

We are pleased with its performance and it also displays diagnostic trouble codes. We are continuing work with Autel for additional products in the future.

It requires no batteries as it is powered by the vehicle. It ships with our specific OBD VINtrack users guide with additional information (for qualified buyers), the OBD manual, and free DTC Library software.

It works with all 1996 and newer cars & light trucks that are OBD II compliant (including the CAN, VPW, PWM, ISO and KWP 2000 protocols). VIN success varies from model to model.

Law enforcement can fax purchase orders to (707) 735-9925, and then call to verify receipt.

GS400 unit with battery

VINtrack EZ OBD:
We are working with Autel Intelligent Technology to create an affordable alternative to capturing OBD ECU VINs (Geniscan GS300).

This featured reader is the least expensive functional unit we have found for generic VIN reading. Even though this is a generic reader we have pulled VINs from 2000 model year Land Rovers, 2001 Fords, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Plymouths, Kia, Honda, Toyota, GM and many others. It works with all 1996 and newer cars & light trucks that are OBD II compliant (including the CAN, VPW, PWM, ISO and KWP 2000 protocols). As a general rule these generic readers only pull newer vehicle VINs as they work with the SAE standard, not proprietary code as our OBD ECU VIN reader does.

Currently the Geniscan GS300 will not pull out older VINs as the above OBD ECU VIN software does, nor does it go into the same detail or save the data, but it is quick, easy, and very affordable. The VIN display is small displaying only 8 characters at a time, thus you must scroll to view the entire VIN.

We are pleased with its performance and it also displays diagnostic trouble codes. We are continuing work with Autel for additional products in the future.

It requires no batteries as it is powered by the vehicle. It ships with our specific OBD VINtrack users guide with additional information (for qualified buyers), the OBD manual, and free DTC Library software.
