Review: The adapter to use with Forscan Diagnostic Software - A very good quality item. Well made and seems durable. I bought this to go with the Forscan OBD diagnostic software. Used on a Ford Mondeo and no problems at all. Used to code two remote fob keys. Works fast and is easy to use as it automatically switches between MS and HS speeds - no toggle switching required. Loaded onto a an older HP laptop (Windows 10) with no problem and the laptop found a driver automatically. Excellent connectivity and no dropouts. Would highly recommend.

A: OBDLink EX will work with all OBD-II compliant vehicles (including your 2016 Ford Edge) to do the following:
-Read and clear OBD-II trouble codes
-Read OBD-II live parameters

OBDLink EX also works great with the FORScan software for Windows, which enables dealership level features and diagnostics for Ford vehicles and may support additional features, such as programming key fobs and accessing the PATS module.

A: If Forscan allows you to update software for instruments then this cable will do it.

**Q: will this work with a 2015 ford transit custom 2.2?**
A: Yes it should

**Q: Has anyone managed to get this adaptor working with elmconfig?**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked perfectly first time with Forscan software on 2008 Ford Focus.
*by H***U on 9 April 2026*

I bought this ODB2 adaptor to go with FORSCAN software to check and clear codes on a 2008 Ford Focus 1.8l. Adaptor installed immediately with Windows 11 and worked perfectly with FORSCAN software. This identified my faults and I was able to correct them. Highly recommended purchase. Not really much more I can say about the adaptor as it just works - but the Forscan software is brilliant too.
