Anyone use Auto Enginuity diagnostics?
This seems like one of the few that will do all the Ford specific tests like the cylinder balance test for misfires. I was going to buy a used NGS but thought about this instead. Let me know if anyone has used it.

I have used it, mostly on late 90's early 00's Chevys though. It can be flakey getting it to connect to the laptop, but that could just be my laptop. There's a lot of information there though, probably even more on newer vehicles.

I have looked at a lot of ODB II stuff and with the extra Ford Package for $249 you get bidirectional capability, PATS key programming, cylinder balance test (for misfire), etc. Nothing else seems to offer this for remotely close to the same price.

The AutoEnginuity program is nice. A buddy in the Excursion forum just drove 60 miles to meet up with another member who has one to run a full scan before he and his family take off to Florida in the Excursion. The AE shows a pile of information. It also allows you to adjust speedo calibrations, etc.
For around $400, it's hard to beat. I would recommend this to anyone.
