Can I plug my SCT X3 into any car just to read the fault codes? Or seeing how it is tied to my car it will only work on my car?
Thanks for the replies

I know my old one reads Fords and Lincolns.
The other makes could be hit or miss.
I couldn't read Subaru

It *SHOULD* work, just don't attempt to write a tune to any other car except the one that the tuner is meant to be used with, you will brick the ecu and need to tow it to a dealer to reflash/replace the cars computer

GottaHaveIt

I've never tried as with the RCMP code if that differs & you try to upload a tune your screwed ! So I bought a Blue Drive when they first came out so was half cost then now but still worth it , small unit plugs into same port , reads & clears codes , even give you full diagnostic on engine & power train from mass air flow rate to fuel rail pressure you name it . I read it all on my iPad or iPhone every trip I take it data logs every thing. So at the time I paid $50.00 for dice & $50.00 for the full use app.
My son works in a shop & loves mine more ask don't have to keep paying to use it what's more I can plug into any OBD2 port & read or clear.
