Default Re: OBD2 adapter to use with Forscan

It came with instructions for OBD Auto Doctor, which was very easy to set up and use. I will install Forscan on the new laptop and see how that goes.

I don't think I can leave it plugged in though. It is easy to insert, but difficult to remove - is there some kind of latch? It's difficult to see the OBD2 connector as it is buried in the dash.

Hmmmm, the ODB2 socket on a falcon is easy to access, and you can just leave it in. Not sure about a Mondeo, if the panel cover is not tall enough, then you won't be able to leave it in, which would be a shame as its pretty cool to monitor things like oil temp, intake air temp, cylinder head temp live.

More importantly, how does it perform? Does it connect fast? Does it maintain connection well? Are you able to read many of the sensors?

Another popular app is Torque Pro. It has a much better user interface IMO, but the PIDs were written for the US fords, so some of them don't work unless you know how to modify the formula....but that gets risky!
