OBDLink MX bluetooth.But a word to the wise, this unit is not compatible with Apple. I was hoping to use an Ipad / iphone to monitor with. I should have got the wifi version.

Yes, but it really doesn't matter. The thread was started about compatible adapters with Forscan, not Forscan Lite. (At least that's the impression I get from the OP and I apologize if I'm wrong...) Forscan is a Windows only program so iPad/iPhone compatibility is irrelevant. Forscan Lite is an app that runs on iPhone and iPad that monitors but can't make any changes like the full Windows version of Forscan can.
I'm a iPhone/Mac user so I have a cheapo WIFI ELM327 adapter to monitor and clear codes on the fly with my iPhone and Forscan Lite. However, without a switch, it can't read/write to all the modules with the full version of Forscan that I run through bootcamp (Windows) on my MAC. So, I also have an OBDLink MX BT adapter. If you want the best, easiest adapter to run the full Windows Forscan and make changes, get the OBDLink MX.
Yes. An adapter that can run the full forscan program. I need to make changes to my "tire size" and I am under the impression I can accomplish that through the forscan program.
This is the one I use. For $18 its let me make all the changes to my truck and the switch is dead simple to use with FORscan. I also have a BT one for monitoring/using the mobile app. I can make changes on it as well, but its about 10x slower than the usb cabled one when making changes.

You sure can. I would go with tricon's adapter. It's cheap and he's proven that it works on all modules. I don't know about it being faster than BT though. My BT adapter writes pretty much instantly. Either way, you'll be good to go changing your tire size though. Once you get comfortable with it, you'll be back in there doing other changes like the double horn honk, etc. It's great to have options....
Read over the first page of the Forscan Spreadsheet thread. It describes the process. You download it from Download FORScan Then you need to get an extended license. It's all free.

My comment is completely relevant. The wifi version will work with a pc for programing needs and also function with IOS devices for monitoring. Or perhaps it's just a lot smarter to have two separate devices.
The WIFI version will not write to all modules unless you modify it with a switch. Even then they are known to be buggy. This is why most people don't bother with them. If you've found one that works with all platforms, good job and I'm very happy for you. Also, the way you wrote your post, it appeared that you were referring to Forscan Lite on an iPhone or iPad which the OP wasn't considering. This is what I said was irrelevant. He wanted an adapter to make changes. Have a great 4th...
