does anyone use this? if so is it worth it I'm in need of one and this seems to be jumping out at me..

I haven't used that brand but yes they are good to have, work with any vehicle sold in US or Canada since 1995, not a Ford thing or even US made thing, ALL vehicles, domestic or import, had to use OBD2 protocol from 1995 and up.

Might also want to get an extension cable with it, they are usually $5-$8.
Reason for the cable is that some vehicles OBD2 plug-ins are recessed a bit so Reader won't plug-in unless you remove a panel or two, cable will usually fit and then you plug in the reader to the cable

And that is what this is, an OBD2 "reader", it doesn't decode the information, just retrieves it, you need software to decode the data it retrieves, in this case an Application(APP) on the Bluetooth Receiver you use, i.e. smart phone or tablet/laptop


The APPS are where the real differences are, the free ones are great to try out and will get you alot of info, and that may be all you need.
The $5 to $10 apps can get you more info but not always needed info
Diagnostic APPs can run up to $100, but way more information than 99% of people need, and a steep learning curve because there is an expectation of previous diagnostic knowledge

 

ya this is my first one. I ordered already will be here tomorrow night.. I plan on using torque app free at first but will be buying torque pro soon as it will give me way more info and stuff.
