I made a video using my OBDLink MX and Forscan.

I installed FORScan (extended license) and already had
this this
Bluetooth scan tool. FORScan recognized it and I was able to connect and read vehicle info. So my question is if I'm seeing everything/able to do most things the MX ELM is able to do? Posted below are a few screencaps (if anything can be gained from that) as to the capability of the one I own. If the pics are useless in determining the functionality of my device, is there something I can try to see what it's capable of or it's limitations?

EDIT: nevermind, just watched Joutlaw's video and see mine isn't showing nearly everything.

No, the OBDLink MX shows much more. Check out my video on the post above.

No problem. I thought it could help some people out. Forscan is pretty awesome in my opinion. I just wonder what the license will cost at some point in the future. As long as they have the options to enable/disable values, it makes it very easy to use.

I'm sure it will work, but not sure what all it could change on a 2013.

My guess is Sync 2 is similar between 2013 and 2015, so similar changes to it. Maybe the same for the trailer brake controller since and integrated version was available on that model as well. Not sure how it appears in the cluster.

Thanks for the vid. I was hoping someone on here has had the double honk mod done so we could look at their as built data and compare original to the modified then that info could be sent to forscan to make it an enabled/disabled flag.
