Today I received a Polish interface ELM327 v3 FORD MSCAN HSCAN - Interface USB Vscan STN1170 company VIAKEN
Super work with the Program FORSCAN tested on Mazda 6 2.0 citd 2003
Thanks FORSCAN for such a great program
Note: Viaken v3 feature is that it supports 3 interfaces at once: USB, BT and WiFi. We have tested one and it really works great via USB interface. But we were unable to make it work stable via Bluetooth and WiFi. Were you able to do it?

same issue here

I've bough a cheap adapter and it is not recognized by the program... we definitely need a list of (affordable) controller, otherwise the application is useless... :(

White label solutions:

- Scantool OBDLink line (https://www.scantool.net/scan-tools/pc-based/)
- Viaken STN1170 (http://viaken.pl/pl/polski-elm327-v3-fo ... -2014.html)
- ELS27 (els27.ru)

China clones that should work (so called "good" clones):
- iCar v2
- adapters claimed to be Ford/Mazda compatible (usually illegaly use FORScan, ElmConfig and FoCCCus brand on their product pages)

I have tried to purchase the V-Scan tool from the Viaken website, and all goes fine until I actually try to buy it, and they have the craziness to ask more for shipping than the product costs, 37€ just for shipping within Europe!!!

Does anyone know of a place to purchase this adaptor, or one just like it?

I got mine from here:

I can confirm it works with Forscan for the Focus.

Is the Scantool one ELM327 compliant? I followed the link, and it does not mention ELM327.

I did see this link to a ELM327 on this forum: http://www.totalcardiagnostics.com/shop ... 2-scantool

The prices are very similar, just wondering which one is better for Forscan on a Windows PC and being used on a 2000 F-350 7.3 Powerstroke diesel dually.

I already bought a china one and it works, but Forscan gives a fault code "clone"
