Is there a Ford-specific cheapie OBD reader that can pull and clear non-emissions codes?

[Adieu]

Got this baby for my bimmer (doesnt do Fords), could read and clear SRS faults, get special diesel codes, etc for my model....stuff ELM 327's couldnt do.

Diagnoses airbags, remote access systems, navigation, infotainment, etc. All plug and play.



Wondering if there's a Ford equivalent in a similar price bracket? Or is ForSCAN the only game on town?

This is the one that we use with the FORScan program (FORScan is free) and it lets you read and clear codes and also change settings.

...n/m mine does too. I just wondered if there was a plug-and-play all-in-one $40 solution to avoid downloading software, messing with laptops, etc.

I use this with Torque Pro for Android, works on all my Ford's, even my 97 f150 that even some inspection stations have had trouble reading.

Torque Pro Android app is pretty awesome as well, aside from reading/clearing codes, you can set up a digital dashboard with alerts, track mpg in real time on Google map, graph out O2 sensors, the list goes on...

This. I bought a random $15 OBDII-Bluetooth adapter off Amazon and have used Torque (free version) for years. It has worked on many vehicles and is able to clear codes. Highly recommended.

Torque does most things but.... CANNOT pull and clear manufacturer-specific diagnostics codes for electronics, airbags, etc.

That thing for the bimmer told me what exactly was causing my two restraints and airbags lights and helped me resolve em. Torque can't do that thru an OBD dongle (Carly can read once, but then you gotta email them for a decoding of the free sample....and pay for anything and everything after that)
