I thought Ross-Tech mentioned something lately about being able to do any OBDII car?

I would assume with limited capabilities though.

Yes, actually.

I just recently hooked up my VAG to my buddy's '00 porsche boxter, and another buddy's '97 prelude.

Download the beta version, it allows you to scan any OBD II car in certain mode. It's on the bottom left of the VAG window, I forget what it's labeled as.

You won't get as detailed info/codes as with an audi/vw/skoda but you get a code with a little explanation nonetheless.
