new to the forum nexiq usb link 2 help

Post by texasdieselmech »

Hello, new to the forum, i just downloaded paid forscan, i have a nexiq usb link 2, drivers are installed for the nexiq, I,m not able to connect to a 2014 ford e350 5.4 it gives me error "No adapter found, please check connection and try again"

forscan recognizes the usb link but i cant seem to connect and actually access the vehicle.

it being a really high dollar communicator, makes no sense in my head that it wouldn't work, perhaps i need to change the settings?

thats $30 dollar interface looks disposable, 0 chance it would work better, faster or more stable than the $800 nexiq

i don't want to purchase a 30 dollar communicator when i have an 800 dollar communicator, would you?
Now if forscan doesn't work with it then ill buy it, is not about the money or being a smart ass i just wanted to use the communicator that i have on hand to save time, all and all i just want to get the software to work as i have a line of vehicles to fix.

I use a USB Link 2 in bluetooth mode for a lot of scanning, service functions, and programming. The only thing I've found is that it doesn't support FEPs programming, but otherwise it's my go to adapter mainly just because it's my only wireless adapter at the moment.
