Hi All, I’m going to attempt using Forscan to change some of my settings, trying to decide between these two OBD devises. I realize one is more expensive, that isn’t a factor, I’m looking for the best one that is more efficient. Anyone have feedback on either one of these you might of used for Forscan changes?

Feedback would be appreciated,
Todd

I have the second one and it works well.

I’m not really a computer guy but your laptop will probably determine the efficiency.

I have both but the first one was specifically designed for forscan and does not require flipping the switch to access the different can buses. While the second one works, the first one would be "best".

Semi related, but wen you make changes with Forscan do you guys leave it or set back to stock when bringing the truck to the dealer.
