Forscan won't connect

[LVGH]

Trying to use Forscan for the first time. Laptop is up to date, Forscan version is 2.3.46. Using the ELMconfig OBD2 reader (see attached photo). Plugged everything in, Forscan doesn't recognize that anything is connected. Plugged the reader in several times (firmly), tried rebooting the computer, plugging the USB cable in several times, ignition on, off, many different tries. I notice this reader fits very tightly against the lower dash, but seems to allow the plug to be inserted.

Help! Thanks

The old style ELM327 with manual toggles don't work well if they work at all on 2020+ models. You need this:

OBDLink EX

When looking for a top-of-the-line OBD II adapter that works with FORScan, look no further. At OBDLink® we have the right scan tools. Purchase here!

I had the same issue, initially. Did you install the drivers? That was my issue…try making sure they are installed correctly - hopefully that’s all it is.

I have the same plug. I had a hard time with it too, but I finally got it to work. I could help you out if you’re in So-Cal
