    I tried without success this morning to connect Techstream to a 2008. The car was in ready mode when I connected to the OBDII. Does Gen 2 require a different procedure?

    I usually connect it with Ignition on but no ready on. Out of 10 times it is connecting maybe 7. I turn off everything, disconnect cable, reboot and then works.
