Do an ebay search for this (ELM327 USB V1.5 modified for Ford ELMconfig CH340) if you have a laptop. when I got mine it was more but now is cheap if you have a laptop. I am running win 10 and it works no issue.

2nd that comment.
I messed around with a cheap one i had laying around before even getting the truck, not recognizing the truck sometimes, flipping switch for hscan/mscan.
MX is so much faster and more reliable. Especially as you get addicted to changes, and realize you may use this much more than you ever thought you would.
