OBD II Reader 2005 Mustang

Looking for recommendations for an OBD II Reader and related software for a 2005 Ford Mustang

Day Job has prevented my investing any time in this part of the RAT Mustang

There is no  HI TECh / HI ZUTE   stuff going on right now with the ride.

Need basic view of what is happening under the hood

Thanks

How much money do you want to spend?  I use a no-name blue in color reader from amazon and the free Torque app on my phone.

Anything from the hammer store will work fine. Unless you plan on dumping it, get one with srs/abs capabilities.

FORscan, a laptop, and a USB to OBD2 cable.

I also came to recommend Forscan. It's incredibly powerful and free if you're running it on a pc. 

Forscan   Check

Laptop Check

OBD Link 1 Order Placed

Thanks

OBD Link 1 Arrived today

Laptop due back from getting memory upgraded (not required, but needed for another application).

So, the process begins.

Thanks

Please update your progress, I may need this some day.

I have not used Forscan yet. A bit with TorquePro, but I need someone that can dumb that stuff down for me. 

Will do    Stay tuned

Dongle and the Forscan app

It's not difficult. Download the program, buy the yr package, it's only $12,which is like 1 million rubles, and plug in.

Its really intuitive. Used it on both the explorer and Mustang and eliminated a bunch of annoying bullE36 M3.

Thanks Ranger50.
