   In a message dated 04-03-14, Ed Vance said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   GA Ed,   
      
   EV>The 1994 Dodge van I drive needs the older ODBC I? (OBDC I?)   
   EV>Code Reader.   
      
   The other day I received a new tool catalog that also shows two OBD   
   scanning tools. According to the text they can be used on most cars made   
   1996 or later that conform to the OBD II standard so obviously your 1994   
   van is outside the OBD II standard.   
      
   EV>It took a bit of time for me to find a garage that still could   
   EV>read the codes on older autos, but I found 3 places in the past few   
      
   Very good. Those garages were apparently on the OBD train from the   
   beginning.   
      
   EV>I was told recently that the new autos have a connector that the   
   EV>Police can connect up to, to see what speed the vehicle was running   
      
   Good for the police , so it doesn't pay off to say my speedometer   
   did show only nnn Mph.   
      
   EV>The other week when we didn't want to drive the van because of the   
   EV>noise, I was in a friends car and the Key wasn't even in the   
   EV>Ignition Switch, I never heard of that before, but the latest model   
      
   So you didn't know that old autos just had a push-button start initiator   
      
   EV>My brother was here a few weeks ago and I used his Garmin GPS to see   
   EV>what exactly it would show as my Latitude and Longitude.   
      
   The birds know where you're hiding, hi.
