Ya I found that. But every thing I have ead says te cheaper ones don't work with ford. I have an OBDII scannertool That does abs and live data. I was asking if some one found a cheap Blue touth that does work on ford. It would be nice to play with.

I paid about $15 for mine and it works just fine with both of my f150s, my brothers explorer, and my dads f150.

Its a mini elm327 bt adapter from amazon.

Also if I may add another problem is I'm getting terrible gas mileage, on a good day of driving like my grandmother I can get maybe 10 miles per gallon. Hopefully if I could locate the problem it could get better. Also if its helpfully, the truck is very very slow. I know this because one of my family members bought a truck from a friend a couple weeks ago and its just like mine accept it has twice the miles that my pickup has and it runs WAY faster

If you arent running on all cylinders that would answer both of those.
