Obdlink mx bluetooth adapter for around $80, then download either torque pro or forscan to your phone.
I use both. Torque pro to read and clear codes, and forscan to make changes

 

Thanks do you have a link to the one you bought. I had a bluetooth and downloaded Torque pro but couldnt ever get it to work consitently .

 

No,mine is 4 years old. But it is called obdlinkmx bluetooth

 

I'm not a believer in the cheap Bluetooth adapters. I only like the obdlink ones. The newest is the + model.

Could you post a link to the one you have an will it do buzz test ?

 

As for what adapters work and which ones don't, go over to the ForScan forum and read all about which ones do and don't.

The ELM 327 adapter that I purchased cost only $30 and works fine. However it is no longer for sale so for a second one I'll have to do a little bit of research.

And the reason that I'm looking at a second one is that I have two Fords, my truck and a newer Explorer and want to have a adapter in each vehicle as a just in case....

 

Thanks for all the input guys. Ill check aound and try the bluetooth route again before spending on a costlier scanner . I was looking at this with the Ford bundle but looks like I would have to get a laptop as well. Really more money than I was hoping to spend if their were other reliable options.Hopefully I can get something and get this truck straightened out once and for all.

i do not do that with the phone.
for anything forscan, i use a wired adapter on the laptop.
i have never been able to get forscan to work off the phone.

 

I don't have the link with me but go to the ForScan forums page, it will give you information on what Bluetooth adapter works. I think that I only paid around $30 for mine.
