FORScan agrivations, sees bt adapter, no vehicle connection - help

ok for what ever reason, I seem to not be able to get ForScan to connect to see the truck so I can see what options I have to play with and perhaps enable a few things in the GEM like the door chime or what ever, anyways I can get the program to see the OBDLink MX which is good, however every time I tell it to connect to the truck it says it can't establish communication, and then to check the truck is on, well its on as I got my music player sat nav going...


I have uploaded the connection.txt file in hopes you guys ight be able to assist with getting this going, other times it does say "no ELM found" but I don't think that's causing an issue as the truck knows to use the ELM 372 settings when it is connected to the OBDLink MX

Anyways thanks for the help guys!

Try going into the Forscan settings and make sure you have your OBD adapter as the device to connect to.

I have two bluetooth adapters. One is white and has a power switch, the other is a much larger blue one that has "Vgate" on it.

The white one doesn't work and will only display 3-4 PIDs.
