The AccessPORT is able to identify the ROM that is on the ECU, if it does not match a supported ROM, it will not install. Basically it looks for a list of identifiers for a given platform. If those identifiers don't match, the AccessPORT does not install.

If the car is of the same manufacturer there is a good chance an unknown ROM message will occur and it will allow the customer to try to acquire the ECU data (ROM dump).

However, we are concentrating on USDM vehicles at this time. There is no danger of damaging your vehicle by trying to install the AccessPORT on an unsupported vehicle, but we will be unable to add support at this time.
