OBDLink EX is an affordable, user-friendly, professional-grade OBD adapter designed from the ground up to take full advantage of all of the features of the
FORScan software for Windows. In turn, FORScan takes advantage of exclusive OBDLink functionality. FORScan team recommends EX for its connection reliability, lightning-fast data transfer speed, and support of the proprietary Ford CAN buses.
OBDLink EX can access
100% of Ford ECUs and get access to more functions than the official Ford dealer scan tool. You read that right: FORScan has capabilities that are locked out in the proprietary software used at Ford dealerships.
Electronic switching allows access to advanced functions such as simultaneously reading parameters from ECUs on different CAN networks and initializing some modules (e.g., "Remote Keyless Entry and Start"). OBDLink switches seamlessly between HS-CAN, MS-CAN, and J1850 Ford networks. "No switch" means no worries about messing things up if you accidentally transmit on the wrong network.
Consider purchasing OBDLink MX+ if you need access to the proprietary GM vehicle networks (GM SW-CAN).
