IMHO and many on here. Get an autoenginuity with the ford enhancements. It is awesome. A little high (about $300 IIRC) but you get what you pay for.

Man texans you are quick on the draw today. The price of AE is pretty well fixed, but I have it with 4 licenses(enhancements) and it has already paid for itself in code reading alone. In fact, I just had it hooked up to the ole ball n chain's MDX. She thought it was missing. Of course, while she was out there I had to turn on everything with the actuation commands that were available for that vehicle. Boy she wasn't happy about that.

You can go better then AE, but AE is great for people on a budget or just the motivated DIYer. IDS, PT DIAG and the like are something totally different.
