.Is this product compatible with elm327 aka forescan? - admin - 10-11-2022
works well with elm327 aka forescan
This was hands down the easiest pairing bluetooth obd2 link I have tried. Worked very well with my galaxy note9 and 2000 f250 super duty with 7.3L powerstroke.
In my mind "nuff said" I'm a happy camper.
It allowed all tests and service functions via forescan. It also allows real time monitoring which is what I was after. I have not tried it on any other vehicles.
So how to use it? In my case already had forescan lite loaded on phone.
Plugged in obd2 scanner... turned on phone Bluetooth... looked for available devices...found it, hit "pair"... it asked for pass code... i entered 1234... it paired.
Went to forescan, settings selected it from list of possible devices. Linked up....began scanning
Literally took about 45 seconds.
Now I have a dedicated real time scan option for my Ford.
When new android stereo for truck gets here I will load forescan and pair it to obd2 link and have my phone free for other stuff.
Bottom line, it works, it scans, it links, and it works with Ford diesels. Good product.
