Works on a Mk5 Mondeo
Used this along with Forscan to put the rear handbrake into maintenance mode to allow change of brakes on a Mk5 Mondeo. A message did come up saying that the adapter was not compatible with all the modules and that some modules would therefore not be shown. It did what i needed it to so I am happy.

Works perfectly
Was skeptical when I ordered as this is so cheap but works great. Ford quoted me £150 to replace a TPMS sensor but I used this £23 OBD linker plus the free ForSCAN software and turned the TPMS light off. I definitely recommend.

Worked flawlessly!
I was a little cautious about buying a cheap OBD2 adapter but it worked flawlessly using Forscan on free extended 2 month licence – came up with ‘use with caution, may not give access to all modules etc’ type message when Forscan first started but no problems whatsoever in using it after that.I needed it to change battery State of Charge to 90% in a 2023 Ford Fiesta ST Line X. Forscan told me when to switch from HS to MS and vice-versa when necessaryand a simple 2 minute job!

Not a Forscan product
Bought this to check and make adjustments to my Ford Kuga using Forescan, it worked most of the time but I got messages on the laptop saying this adaptor is not supported even though the adaptor packaging looks like its a Forscan product.

Acquistato a seguito di malfunzionamenti e anomalie sulla mia Ford Kuga e arrivato velocemente, con consegna in una domenica estiva. Confezione essenziale: il dispositivo è in una busta trasparente con un piccolo depliant in cartone che ne spiega l’utilizzo. Dovendolo collegare a un pc portatile si è reso necessario scaricare un driver per farlo riconoscere sulla porta USB. Bisogna poi scaricare il software Forscan, disponibile in versione gratuita o a pagamento, in quest’ultimo caso sono presenti ulteriori funzioni.L’uso dell’adattatore mi ha permesso di diagnosticare varie anomalie riconducibili a un problema classico per le Ford: un guasto (U1900) al connettore del bus sul quadro strumenti. Dopo una diagnostica (a pagamento) senza soluzione in officina se non un’ipotetica sessione di verifiche, mi è bastato smontare il quadro strumenti ed effettuare delle saldature seguendo un tutorial video su Youtube. Problema risolto brillantemente spendendo pochissimo. Consigliato per chi ha un minimo di manualità .

Used it 3 times on Ford Escape so far. Works fine: connects without any glitches, shows data from sensors, service procedures worked fine too. Seems to be well manufactured, no complaints. Hopefully, will last long.PSThere is a warning message shown by FORScan as this is not a unit endorsed by the developer. Perhaps there are some advanced functions that would not work, can’t tell. I didn’t run into any issues so far.
