Overview
Plugging into the vehicle's diagnostic port, this adapter is made to work with FORScan software, and it draws its power from the vehicle rather than a battery.
Naming FORScan shows the intended software, and vehicle power makes the setup simple. The limitation is the near-empty spec table, which leaves connection type, protocols and vehicle coverage open.
Who it's for
People who work with FORScan on their own vehicles can use the adapter as the link to the car. People who prefer a tool that works without extra software should choose a handheld reader.
Pros and cons
- Named for FORScan use

- Quick start guide included
- Connection type not listed
- Vehicle coverage not described
- Software requirements not given
Performance notes
The adapter relays data between the car's network and the software, so what you can do depends on FORScan and on the vehicle. Link quality depends on the connection type, which the listing does not state. Power from the vehicle means there is no battery to manage.
