Hello, just wondering if someone can send a link to buy a proper forscan obd?

I've had a look and some of the reviews I was looking at on Amazon said it wasn't a genuine forscan product

    It's what many Ford owners use including some Ford technicians.

    Thanks for the info. I wouldn't mind getting the vLinker for my iPhone. How do I go about using it? Do I get an app on my phone and connect it to the obd once it's connected to the vehicle?

    Thanks

    Yes. You need to buy a vLinker FD+ to plug in to the OBD port. Go to the FORScan site and buy the iOS licence £7 (lasts forever). You can download the iPhone app from the Apple Store.

    If you don't intend doing Programming then a Bluetooth Adaptor will work with a Laptop as well, you don't need both types of Adaptor.
