Default Forscan App & A/C

I have the Torque app on my Android which gives decent screenshots and OBD-II code reading. I recently discovered Forscan, a Ford specific app. I was able to drill down and see the A/C compressor cycling on and off, among other things.
I have a new ELM327 USB adapter on its way so I can plug into it with my laptop and look at the software that way. I haven't found the EVAP temp on it yet, or even know if it will look it up.

Just an FYI for the smart minds on this site.

EVAP Temp is confirmed, just need an MS-CAN capable ELM327.

Default Forscan App & A/C

Amazon has the OBDLink MX (Bluetooth), but it is about $100. They have a USB version for the pc (OBDLink SX) for $37 though. I may pick that up until I feel rich enough for the Bluetooth one. The software looks good, but just came out of beta so it still has room for improvement.

BTW if you are using an iPhone, iPad, etc you have to get a WiFi device. The Bluetooth ones won't work for you.

I picked up the usb version on eBay for $30...already have a Bluetooth to use via my android.

I'll use the laptop with this. Demo version is free and so far, so good.
