[gillsfan]

I bought a elm 327 500k downloaded the software, but it won’t connect to my car. If connects to the adaptor ok but says it can’t find the vehicle, help please I need to recode my injectors. my car is a 2004 ford focus 1.8 TDCI

This sounds like this problem:

But the only way to find out for sure is to email us internal FORScan logs as described on the Contact Us page.

Yes, OBLDLink SX should work.

Also as a cheaper alterntaive, we recently tested this adapter:

It is based on china clone but the board is good quality (successfully tested by us on all Ford protocols supported by FORScan now). Also it has HS/MS switch (although you don't need for Focus Mk1) and works on speed up to 500Kbps (USB version).

Many thanks. The eBay seller I got the adaptor from sent me a replacement adaptor, then replacement was UK made instead of Chinese like the original. It works perfectly.
