So these questions may have been asked in the past, but I'll ask again anyways.
And recommendations for OBDII scanner, and specifically one that will work with Forscan? Their website says any elm327, but there are so many cheap ones out there I'm a bit concerned about just buying any. Been leaning towards the obdlink mx, has good reputation, but costs $80 while elm327's with good amazon reviews run anywhere from $15~$40. The obdlink can access ms-can, whereas the others can't (I think). Not sure what mods require ms-can though.
Any thoughts and/or personal experience would be greatly appreciated. Also plan on using torque pro app too. Any body with thoughts on torque pro while I'm at it?
Forscan:
I don't have a problem with learning how to use it, as some here have pointed to some good resources (thanks). But I am curious how "dangerous" it might be. My desires for using Forscan would be for modifying things like useless right lcd screen, honking when walking away from running car with keys, (adding option to individually set suspension settings-DaMiFo) that sort of thing. If something were to not work out, or go wrong in process, is there an easy way to return things to stock without dreaded trip to dealership?
