I see that Forscan is now available on iOS, has any one used it and if so which adapter do I need? The one linked from Forscan's site is the BT version and $120, which seems pricey for what it does.
I know there are some other cheaper adapters on Amazon but I wasn't sure if they would work with the IOS version.

Thanks,
-Russ

Just get the recommended OBDLink MX+. it works great and you can still use it with windows. Forscan Lite iOS is called "lite" for a reason....but it makes for a good companion for windows Forscan to conveniently check codes and run serviice procedures.

So would the lite version not be able to disable things like the double honk & remove hyper flash when putting in LED turn signals?

That's all I really need it for so seems silly to spend $120 on the adapter just for that.

What about this one:

That’s the one you want right there. $50 bucks.

EX if you want to use it with Windows. It is the most capable. Diagnostics, configuration, complex service procedures, module updates.

MX+ for iOS. Diagnostics and simple service procedures only. MX+ with windows gets you diagnostics, configuration, and service procedures.
