See every supported vehicle

VN and VP Commodores and VQ Statesmans and Caprices use the 6-pin, 12-volt ALDL plug. This cable is for 5-volt ALDL only, so they aren't supported and there's no adapter. Other GM vehicles must have the 16-pin diagnostic port; the 12-pin ALDL plug isn't supported. Engine data on LS1 V8s and on VZ, VE and VF Commodores uses OBD2: see our ELM327 OBD2 diagnostic cable with Software on ELM Street.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include any software?

No. This listing is the ALDL Cable v2 only. Envyous Customs software (AED, SDT or BD) is purchased separately – you'll be asked to confirm this before adding the cable to your cart.

What's changed from the original ALDL cable?

The v2 has a new OBD-style housing that plugs into the 16-pin diagnostic port, and a USB-C connection with a USB-A adapter included. Because it's USB-C, it can also connect to modern Android phones for use with the ALDLDroid app (not compatible with iPhones). ALDLDroid is third-party software, so no support is provided for it. It's also now sold as the cable only, so you choose your Envyous Customs software separately.

Does it work with third-party software?

It can be used with software that supports standard raw ALDL communication, such as TunerPro on Windows or ALDLDroid on Android phones (not iPhones). However, no support is provided for third-party software.

Does it work on other GM vehicles?

Only if it has the 16-pin diagnostic port. The 12-pin ALDL plug used on some other GM vehicles isn't supported. Our software supports the Holden vehicles listed under Supported vehicles. On other GM vehicles with the 16-pin port, the cable can be used with software that supports standard raw ALDL communication, such as TunerPro. However, no support is provided for third-party software.

Does it work on a VN or VP Commodore, or VQ Statesman?

No. VN and VP Commodores and VQ Statesmans and Caprices use the 6-pin, 12-volt ALDL plug. This cable works with 5-volt ALDL only, so these cars can't be supported, and there's no adapter for them.

Is my car OBD1 or OBD2?

VR, VS, VT, VU, VX and VY Commodores use ALDL (OBD1) for engine and transmission diagnostics – except LS1 V8 models. LS1 V8s and all VZ, VE and VF Commodores use OBD2 for the engine.

Does it work on my VZ or LS1 V8?

For airbags and body modules, yes. SRS Diagnostic Tool (SDT) and Body Diagnostics (BD) work over ALDL on VT, VU, VX, VY and VZ Commodores and WK/WL Statesman and Caprice, LS1 V8s included. For engine data on a VZ or LS1 V8, use our ELM327 OBD2 cable with Software on ELM Street (SOE).

How do I install it?

Download and install the USB driver from our Downloads page, then install your Envyous Customs software and plug the cable into your car.

How much is postage?

We ship by Express Post only. Within Australia it's $12 (1–3 business days), calculated at checkout.
