bbfly BF32302 USB FTDI chip compatible HS-CAN/MS-CAN for Forscans OBD2

I have a warning beep going off constantly when driving my MX5 (2009). I thought it might be due to low battery power. Using this confirmed that with the code, and I also found 2 other codes relating to air bags which I will need to sort out. Very pleased with this adapter. I installed FORScan from the link mentioned in the instructions. There isn't a driver on the BBFly website for this adapter, and reading up I don't think it needs one. I used it with a Windows 7 laptop and I think it found the driver from the Web. In FORScan I unchecked the Demo and Debug option as suggested by another reviewer. It took a few attempts to connect to the car. I wonder if the HS/MS switch problems reported are down to the program also being able to detect the connection speed is in correct - I got a pop up asking if I wanted to change the speed selected and selecting yes didn't physically flip the switch, if you follow what I mean. Otherwise I found it fairly straightforward to get to work. The supplied instructions cover several cables and are probably a bit out of date as far as more recent Windows releases are concerned and a driver.

I was looking for a adapter + software to allow me to read trouble/fault codes on my 2016 Ford Galaxy which was showing intermittent instrument panel warning messages. Googling found lots of warnings about cheap non-working Chinese OBD adapters containing dodgy clones of the ELM327 chip being sold on eBay, but I eventually settled on this device by following a link on the James Simpson website. Yes, the chip used is indeed a clone - but I can confirm that it seems to work OK and that it works with the FORScan tool. The instructions that come with it aren't very good, so here's a few clues: 1. I used a laptop running Windows 7. Connecting the USB cable caused a driver to be automatically download from the Windows Update site - no need for anything special 2. Download a copy of FORScan. Click the Settings icon and uncheck the Demo and Debug options. 3. Connect the gadget to the ODB port of your car, turn on the ignition (but don't start the engine), and run FORScan. The two indicators (Interface and Vehicle) at the bottom of the FORScan window should show green and the Vehicle and information interface Log screen (the top icon) should show messages confirming connection and communicating with the various control modules and showing the data 4. The switch on the gadget is for selecting HS (high speed) and MS (medium speed) CAN bus connections. FORScan will prompt you to flick the switch as necessary. Note that on my sample, the instruction sheet had the positions shown the wrong way round... That's really about it - experiment at your will and/or peril. On my car, it showed a diagnostic trouble code for the left front ABS wheel sensor. The chip used in the connector is definitely a clone. FORScan shows that the adapter identifies itself as an ELM327 v1.5, which according to Wikipedia doesn't exist. It's probably a clone running ELM firmware v1.4 - if I find out more, I'll come back and edit this info. But hey, it does work. One other thing that I've not tried in anger - if you register for the FORSCan forum, you can then download and install an extended licence key. What extra goodies it allows you to do I've not yet played with... Hope this helps

There's nothing physically wrong, concerning, or subpar, about this. Well, I'm assuming all the internals are fine since I'm no electrical engineer and I'd update this if it fails for some reason. As for the 4 stars: The documentation provided is a little subpar, and may lead you to believe it's s incompatible with your car. On Linux I tried scantool and OBD Auto Doctor, which didn't work, and on Windows I tried Forscan, ScanMaster, and I believe PCMSCAN. I finally managed to get it to work in MS-can mode with ScanMaster after manually entering the connection details. If you can get the drivers and software working (you should be able to), it's a lot more convenient than the small screen you'd otherwise have to deal with with a normal scanner.

Good build quality, easy to use, easy to install drivers (as long as you read the PDF version and not the included parchment in the package).

This cable is worth its weight in gold. If you own a laptop - then this cable will pay for itself the first time you want to troubleshoot an issue with your car. Engine management light? No issue - plug in (with appropriate software) and away you go. If you have a Ford and use Forscan (free), you can troubleshoot anything that has an electrical connection to the car. The cable and adapter is of good quality - have no doubt that it will last. Wouldnt hesitate to buy again.

Had a EGR/Glow plug issue on a MK6 fiesta derv. Bought this. Connected it to my laptop and opened up forscan - connected right up and there we go - reset the values to 0 and managed to code in some extras like safe home lights. Missus had bought a Audi - so I’m sure this will get a lot more use through Vagcom 😂😂

Great product, easy to use just plug in and all the diagnostics come up on your laptop

Does not work, have emailed (their so called) support and have not received any communication back. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, it does NOT work

Questo si che è un OBD che funziona bene. Ne ho provati altri bluetooth, wifi e usb. Ma questo è il migliore. L'ho acquistato per attivare il Cruise Control sulla mia Focus. Nelle varie guide leggevo che ci sarebbero voluti 20 minuti per caricare in centralina il firmware modificato, ma con questa interfaccia ce ne son voluti molti di meno. Funziona bene con FORSCAN e con ELMCONFIG. Purtroppo non sono riuscito a farlo comunicare col software FOCCCUS ma comunque il lavoretto che dovevo fare l'ho fatto con ELMCONFIG e adesso ho il CRUISE CONTROL attivo. Ricorda: - Se hai il GPL devi prima passarla a benza altrimenti non riesce a comunicare con la centralina. - Scegli il corretto tipo di Chip dalle impostazioni del software che usi sul pc.

Tengo un Mondeo mk5 del año 2018 y este adaptador me ha servido para activarle bastantes funciones ocultas a mi coche con el programa forscan. Y el envio con amazon muy rapido. Totalmente recomendable.

ch nutze das Kabel in Kombination mit einer Software aus einem Tiger-Forum für meine Triumph Tiger 800 XRT (2018). Damit lässt sich unter anderem der Service zurücksetzen und diverse Einstellungen anpassen – genau das, was ich gesucht habe. Die Verbindung läuft stabil und ohne Aussetzer, und für den Preis gibt’s absolut nichts zu meckern. Vorteile: Kompatibel mit spezieller Software für bestimmte Modelle Keine Verbindungsprobleme Service-Reset und Anpassungen problemlos möglich Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis Fazit: Für alle, die an Ford, Mazda oder auch Motorrädern wie der Tiger schrauben und eine zuverlässige OBD2-Verbindung brauchen, ist das hier eine sehr gute Wahl. Klare 5 Sterne.

Fungerar riktigt bra när man lyckades komma på hur man laddade ner programvaran, så der skulle behövas tydligare instruktioner

Werkt perfect.
