Forscan 2.4.1 - adaptor compatability

Post by andyh1108 »

Hi Guys

Thank you very much for your hard work in getting version 2.4.1 out, really looking forward to updating my modules. Quick question, release notes seem to suggest that module update will only work with OBDLink EX and MX+, is this correct as I have J2534 Ford VCM II which worked fine with later beta versions of 2.4.0

Thanks

Andy

from the release notes..

4. Adapters

This version only allows wired adapters to be used with MFU. For J2534 PassThru adapters there are no other limitations. ELM327 adapters must have increased baud rate (>38400) and minimum response time <20ms. It is not recommended to use any china ELM327 for MFU. It is recommended to use either J2534 PassThru or OBDLink EX (see note below).


So your adaptor should be no problem.

The first sentence in the following Quote should answer your question!

"This version only allows wired adapters to be used with MFU. For J2534 PassThru adapters there are no other limitations. ELM327 adapters must have increased baud rate (>38400) and minimum response time <20ms. It is not recommended to use any china ELM327 for MFU.
