Does FORScan Work with BlueDriver Bluetooth Professional?

Post by Snoopy49 »

This is my first post, so please bear with me, will FORScan work with the BlueDriver scanner (https://www.amazon.com/BlueDriver-Bluet ... wifi&psc=1)? I would like to be able to use it on a Windows laptop and the software that comes with it doesn't support windows.
I am trying to purchase a scanner that will work with my 2013 Ford Mustang and was originally leaning towards the OBDLink MX Wi-Fi, but all the posts concerning connectibility issues have made me reconsider that choice. If anyone has any suggestions about the appropriate scanner for my 2013 Ford Mustang, I would appreciated hearing from you.

The BlueDriver does not emulate an ELM327 nor do they publish an open protocol to communicate with it, so it is not supported by FORScan

I would go with a OBDLink MX Bluetooth. It does not have the communications problems of the Wi-Fi version.

Thanks for the reply. I will look into the OBDLink MX Bluetooth. Is there a users manual for the Windows version of FORScan?

I found the documentation for Windows version 1.3.x, but nothing for FORScan version 2.3.8 beta for Windows. I imagine that this won't be available until beta testing has been completed.
