    All these elm obd apps/ software mentioned are all garbage unless you pay for them. Bluedriver is about the best out there as far as obd2 reading/ programming goes for the cheap. Forscan is by far the best for ford mazda etc. but as far as the elm devices go its always better to get the corded one with a mid/ high speed canbus switch on the box and the one with the usb and blue/yellow sticker has worked for me with every car ive plugged it into, now depending on program and what year the ecm is will vary with what all you can do with the vehicle but forscan with the module i said on fords or ford related vehicles you can do about anything to em and even diag with scope readouts..

    I recommend - openOBD.
