I am looking into an OBD2 scanner (NOT A TUNER) that has Bluetooth capability that I can have several different Apps to choose from setup to read on my iPhone. I want the scanner to be able to read any codes that I may encounter in the future, also it will give me info that would be nice to have ( boost pressure, acceleration force, plus many others) Couple questions...
1) will this work on EcoBoost engines or just because it is an OBD2 port should it work regardless of what engine you have?
2) I know people will throw out the "Void Warranty" card out there, but this is no way shape or form a tuner, it is strictly a reader, scanner, information display! Are there any ACTUAL Ford techs out there than can say wether or not Ford will frown on plugging in a scanner into the OBD2 port? Thanks!

The FREE iTSX app from app store allows bluetooth pairing to your iPhone or iPad -
Once you have connected the iTSX accessory ($400) to your vehicle's OBD-II diagnostic port, you can "pair" the accessory to your iPod, iPhone or iPad using the bluetooth wireless feature on your device. Not only will it work as a code reader you hav the tune option (+ more) later after ur warrantee is up if you r concerned about that.

Just wanted to weigh in on a code reader solution I got that seems to work great on my Expedition (i've also used it to read and clear codes on a 2004 Tundra and on my wife's 2006 BMW X3). Can't imagine why it wouldn't work for Ecoboost as long as you have the OBDII port. Here is a little write up/review I did for it and for the Torque Pro app, hope it helps ...
