FORScan Lite Reviews

Wow I was so excited to see that forscan was updated to work with iOS,
I have a blue tooth 327 adapter it works on my computer but not showing why I can barely move, thought the update would be better as it has been a few years.
No it won’t connect, I have a k-3 brand if I can find it, looks like you need that adapter for I phone don’t see that in the reviews , was optimistic because the free version helped me even cleared old codes on my laptop Bluetooth
But wont connect with I phone.

I am so tired of screwing with FORScanLite! Have to turn it off and back on again a dozen times just to MAYBE get it to connect! I spent an additional $90 buying the one elm this company recomended, same problem. If the developer is reading this, FIX IT! It’s not like the software in the cars are changing from one day to the next. So obviously the defect is yours.

It’s been over a week and still Forscan Lite will not find the adapter. A big error message appearing every attempt. Numerous emails to connect@forscan have resulted in innumerable data dumps, do this or that, but no results. The adapter works fine with the OBDLink software and Forscan Viewer software. Stay way from this product and save your money.

I’d give it zero stars if I could. Totally fails to connect to my truck. Been to the forum, done all available troubleshooting. It talks to my truck and gets the basic info on the “vehicle” tab, but refuses to connect so I can actually do anything.

Just wasted an hour of my life and $6. Just buy the USB plug in and hook it up to a laptop. This iOS version with the Bluetooth/WiFi version is totally defective.

I have a 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid and after last week's update it doesn't connect. The connection icon goes green but it never fully connects. The blue led on the adapter keeps blinking never goes solid either.

Please revert back to old version

Please help me

For basic usage, it works ok. The interface is...odd. Under service tests, “Rmode Rebalance” it completely crashes. Even just clicking the “i” causes it to crash. And apparently no way to display temperatures in Fahrenheit?

When I first used FORScanLite it was working fine. Now after a couple of months I use FORScanLite FORScanLite doesn’t connect to my Bluetooth VLinker FS scan tool. I updated my scan tool firmware and I can’t connect to FordScan Lite.

Originally never works and then after multiple hours of testing and reconfiguration it finally me decided to work

Can’t do everything the laptop version can do, but quite impressive for what it is

You have to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit by tapping on the pids and selecting Fahrenheit when adding them to your data view. I didn’t realize this was possible for a long time.

FORScanLite works great, allows me to see a large amount of vehicle data that other scanners can’t see or they just get wrong. Works on my Mazda too.

FORScanLite allows you to access more data about your Ford than you know what to do with. You get access to every single PID and the testing and mode $06 info is great. A must have!

I use this with the recommended OBDLink MX+. It is convenient to use and like that it is with me on trips. I like the diagnostics but also the service procedures. Highly recommended!

For months been having transmission issues after install....was able to clear TCM module through FORScanLite!!!! Save me money and head aches...

Tried it on my iPhone and it worked great

Tried it on my iPad and I got a odbc device chipset error saying odbc device was a clone and not compatible. Removed odbc device and reattached, followed the prompts about the different can bus toggle on , etc, when it was done with the setup it worked fine. So basically if you switch devices you have to re set up

I got more than what I expected interns of functionality and actual data that is represented.

Lots to learn about the odbc ii modules

Great app

Make sure you buy a compatible OBD adapter before you buy FORScanLite . I bought the OBDLINK MX+ No it isn’t cheap, but it works. And works very well. It and FORScanLite work wonderfully with my 2013 F-150. I’ve used it to reset codes, run diagnostics, etc.

Very easy to use and it’s one of the few that allows my diesel to run injector operation checks!

Worked great with my Mazda CX-5. Has PIDS that I couldn’t get on other scanning software. Well worth the price!

FORScanLite is not a lite version of a more robust app ... it gives you an enormous amount of insight to your vehicle ... a bit of a learning curve but invaluable.
I had problems with my Elm device st first and the customer Service was excellent and helped me fix my issues 100-percent.
I have already saved a lot of money being able to diagnose problems that the dealer would’ve charged me a ridiculous amount of money for and I was able to fix myself.
For a Ford this was better and cheaper than all of the other apps out there and I have tried many!
The developers continually keep FORScanLite relevant and up to date.
Thanks for FORScanLite!

I was skeptical about FORScanLite. With Larry mixed reviews I thought I’d give it a shot for $6.So glad I did well worth the money. I have a 02 7.3 power stroke. it dose everything I needed KOEO tests KOER test, Injector buzz test and cylinderContribution test To name a few.I guess the laptop version allows for programming as well but this is a pretty full comprehensive app for your phone.
