AE scanning other makes/models?

I've scanned a Honda CRV with CEL on, a GM blazer equivalent with CEL on and a chevy 1500 truck with CEL on. AE finally connected with all vehicles but no codes from any of them. Anyone else have this issue? Any suggestions?
I do have only the ford bundle but shouldn't it at least read basic codes?

CRV - no idea. Could be maintenance interval
Blazer - known fuel pump bad
truck - couldn't connect. Called support and finally determined ECM. Reseated ECM plugs and it's still running with CEL on. AE connected once ECM plugs were reseated.

Bundles

Same situation i am in, have the ford, a yota, and a honda, each needs the right bundle. AE isn't just a generic ODBII typ reader, need the other bundles.

Since it's not picking up the codes, they may be related to manufacture specific equipment, and thus manufacture specific codes.
