Installing USB drivers for OBDLink EX
Most of the time, OBDLink EX installation is a smooth process: the USB drivers should install automatically as soon as you plug it in. Unfortunately, certain laptop models feature a non-compliant USB 3.0 controller which sometimes causes problems for our customers. If you receive "USB not recognized" or similar error messages, try one of the following solutions:
- Plug OBDLink into a different USB port
- Connect OBDLink via a USB 2.0 hub
- Manually install the FTDI USB drivers
If none of the above solutions work, please contact OBDLink Support.

Connects and loads pretty fast. No glitches or bumps. Expensive for what it is but to be extra sure you're not going to mess anything up using this cable with Forscan it's worth it.
Noticeable difference in connection and load times with this scanner, auto switches HS to MS no need to do anything just plug it in and connect.
È l'originale e funziona perfettamente con Forscan.
