This is an auto scan.

But no info from the rest of the channels even go to the other pages to read the channels.

After reading some of the posts I think that I will have go and buy a proper unit?

:confused:

Thanks M

If you have an Octy II then I'm guessing the cable you have is a dual K line and not a CAN version.

If it is then the amount of information is either going to be zero or very minimal to comply with regs somewhere.

If you want to read everything on an Octy II then you will need a genuine CAN cable.
