Specific dongle for forscan lite. was created by Hazard05
Hey guys, noob to the forum, not new to the trade, recently downloaded forscan lite to my android phone just to have another tool in the box, unfortunately it don’t seem to like my elm327 adapter, doesn’t seem to want to connect to it. Says it’s a fake version nor something, it works fine with my torque pro app. Anyways does anyone have any insight on this issue. Links to a known good one that works with the app. TIA.

Obdlink MX+ is the one Forscan recommend. I've got one but haven't used it with android. Works well with windows and ios.

Yes all the OBDLink dongles are 100% ELM327 compliant they use as specially designed chip the clones use a general purpose chip that hasn't the full commands built in.

I think they're all ELM327/OBD-II compliant, except maybe the new BMW specific one. MX+ is the only current bluetooth model with Ford MS-CAN support though so it's the one to get for 2004 and up.
