Yeah...Good possibility you'll need a CAN compatible reader. I use a Scangauge which provides instrumentation (4 data points at once) as well as code reading and clearing and is CAN compatible. You can kill several birds with one purchase on this one.. Having Water temps, intake temps, fuel trim up etc. is informative..
