Depends on the software you run on it and whether it has bluetooth capability. There are other types of reader that connect to the OBD2 port...

I have the maxi scan shown above, might not be the exact same model. Can't remember if I bought it on Amazon or EBay, but it was very cheap. Never needed it on the Santa Fe but it's been very useful for other cars in the family.
