    Personally I would invest in an ELM327 interface. There is a lot of (free and paid) software available for both Windows and Android. Most of the available software has a lot more functions than a code reader.

    I use an USB ELM327 interface wich costed me under €10,- (including shipping). The free ELMconfig software is one of my favourites. This software can read/erase DTC codes on all modules fitted into the Focus MK2/MK2.5. This software has also the possibility to change some setting.

    I'm really interested in elmconfig. I've ordered a Bluetooth obd reader.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004KL0I9I/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1391365727&sr=8-2π=AC_SX110_SY165

    Will this be compatible? Or will I need to order the wired version?

    Thanks
