FORScan v1.1.1 available (Ford diagnostics with ELM)

[mattydr67]

The ELM327 of course.
I sad that the softwear is under development and that ELM327 it is poor.
I said this to not dreaming.
It is good for hobby.
About the Ford VCM OBD, this is different.
It is a good tool but the chinese softwear it is too old.
And as I see no updates will be aviable soon or maybe never.
But the FoCom it is better.
Good luck

Tell me if your tool can do flashing?
They said that for this you need a new interface.
Well I will ask them next week but if you can tell if you know something?
Becasue if it's so I need to upgrade my tool.
Good luck

Here is the Focom software,maybe someone can make it work with elm interface

[mattydr67]

They said ELM327 but it is not.
The ELM327 interface has FTDI drivers and other firmwera
This has totally diffrent driver ( not FTDI ) and totally diffrent firmwear and other kind of PIC inside.
Two years ago I tried to amke an ELM327 to work with this but I cannot
Some one want to sell a softwear HICOM which he said that it's working with ELM327 for 75 euros.
I pretty sure that it was a cheater.
Good luck
