I was looking on there site and found that yes it will work. There is a FAQ on the site that describes what you have to do. I found it by googling "tunercat and vista"

i can say i tried obd2 tunercat and it would run but lock up every time randomly

and most vista laptops dont have a serial port but have a express card slot, 34 or 54,, so a express card serial adapter would probly be needed

I ordered a dell latitude for work that has the com port on it. Very important in the I.T. field.

Thanks,
