Great for ForScan applications
I initially bought this just for the ForScan application but turned out I’m able to use it on other OBD applications for scanning and programming. It’s one of the recommended options directly from ForScan website and for less money than other options. Great Buy.

One thing I will say is that this is not plug-and-play. It requires you to download and install a driver from a website, which the manual does a good job of directing you to. This is where things got a little confusing because the manual doesn't tell you specifically which driver to install, except to say "Please select the driver according to your computer system." On the website where you download the driver, a table populated with different links for different systems had a row for Windows, and a column for 32-bit and 64-bit. I installed it on a Windows 10 64-bit machine, so I clicked on the link for that driver. It was actually a zipped file. That's fine if I wanted to manually install the various bits and pieces. Pass on that. The actual executable (.exe) file that does everything automatically, was all the way over in the "Comments" column, labelled as "setup executable". I clicked on that and the prompt to download the .exe file popped up and so on. When it was finished, I ran the file and everything installed without a hitch. Now that I think about it, perhaps this is why it's the cheapest. It's not plug-and-play.
If you haven't already installed FORScan you can do so. See their website for your download options.
After you've done that just plug the connector into the laptop and then run FORScan. The manual for the connector says to connect it to the car before you open FORScan, but doing that resulted in an error and FORScan closing. I recommend you connect it to the OBDII port after FORSCan has already opened.
This connector works seamlessly with FORScan and allows high speed (HS) CAN bus and medium speed (MS) CAN bus modules to be read simultaneously because it switches back and forth automatically. Highly recommended!
If you use FORScan, this is the one to have!

If you use FORScan or intend to use FORScan, this is the connector to have. This is the least expensive of the recommended connectors, but I can't yet figure out why. But let's get into my experience with is thus far. It arrived earlier than initially estimated which is a good thing. In the box was the connector and a bi-fold user manual labelled as "Getting Started". My first reaction of this document is that what should have been the front, was at the back, and what should have been at the back, at the front. Odd, but easily overlooked. The connector itself looks very well put together and has some amount of style to it. It's not just a brick with lights and a wire coming out of it. It's somewhat ergonomic and the plastic seems to be of good quality non-shiny material. Like I said, no idea why it's the cheapest.Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2022
