OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner.

Shrooom1 · May 7th, 2013, 10:59

I have a 1997 2.5t V70 (193hp) and want to know if a OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner will work on my car, but is she to old ??

It's just something to play with, with its real time and code reading features.

From whats said on here, you need a volvo 98 model onwards for OBD2 to work, as while OBD2 is said to be introduced from 99, the 98 models (which i have) allow use of OBD2.

Not so, mine's a 1997 pre-ME7 car and OBDII works fine - I have a generic reader and it works no problem.

Yeah, I reckon his will be OBDII compliant no problem, I think (but stand to be corrected) that all petrol V70s are compliant, or all the 20v ones at any rate. I think it's more with the 850s that you get issues.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help. Checked with Volvo and they said she's one of the late 97's.

Oh and it's the 20v lump, if that makes any difference. lol .
