I prefer the elm 327 with wifi. Good for an iPhone iPad or a computer. It's a OBD scanner , data logger , and also lets you modify some parameters in all the modules engine , trans , body etc. I thought it was really cool to monitor low system fuel pressure and a ton of other things that are not available on SCT or a cts2

Are you able to turn off tire sensors. Day time running nights. Stuff like that?

Yes and yes. With the DRLs you can choose off, 50% headlight, turn signals, or fog lights.

Would this adapter work?

Any of them that can work on a 7.3 with an iPhone?

I went with a USB OBD2 cable to make changes to the various modules. I use a bluetooth style to use my Android phone as a monitor.

So the cable one with a computer is more user friendly to make changes over the phone app? All I want it for it to make changes to day time lights and tire sensors mostly stuff like that. I have a cts for monitoring already

I have both the laptop with the USB is better IMO for viewing and diagnostic stuff. I think it has a few more features as well. But the Bluetooth to the phone works well too. I have cheap eBay adapters.

Phone is only a monitor. Can't make changes. Need a windows based laptop or tablet to use the full version.

I guess you could use a desktop windows computer, but the wife might not like driving the truck into the office.

It's a great software! I've used it for side work, and my truck a few times.

What does every one use for corded adapter?

The F-150 guys, highly recommended the Bluetooth OBD Link MX as being the most reliable so I went with it.

Some say, the USB wired ones work good with no problems and others say they are finicky.

Got some useful links/info in my Forscan thread linked below

For a monitor, you can pick up an older android phone or tablet for cheap. As long as the screen and Bluetooth work, you're good.

I bought the wireless one and I cant get it to work. Plug it in and none of the light ever light up and I cant find it on the Bluetooth. My CTS2 works so unless there is a different wire that is not getting power? I plugged it into 4 other vehicles and none of them connect with it. I just ordered a corded version and we will see if it works that way.

Which wireless one did you purchase? The cheapo ones are very hit or miss.
