There are two types of OBD: OBD1 and OBD2. The big difference between the two is that OBD1 is each brand’s proprietary connector, while OBD2 is universal, the latter being the most widely used and compatible with Torque Pro. This system has been integrated on cars since 1996 in the US, then developed and put into use in other regions. More specifically, the models integrated with OBD 2 include:
