Hardware and Sofware Description

Munic.Box is designed to work on most vehicles (cars, light trucks, SUVs, and minivans) eOBD and OBD-II compliant:

  • since 1995 in the United States
  • since 2001 and for diesel vehicles since 2003 in Europe

In the current release, Munic.Box is not compatible with electric vehicles. Munic.Box will be compatible with heavy duty trucks in 2015 with the new V4 HW.
