FORScan forum

I have a 2011 Mazda MX-5/Miata GT with advanced keyless entry and start. It uses Ford PATS (Ford and Mazda were in a partnership when the 3rd generation Miata was made). It has a Mazda tuned version of the 2.0L Ford duratec engine and an EcuTek control module. The keyless remote has an auxiliary key...

Unfortunately there are a lot of crappy, fake ELM327 devices out there, and FORScan is more picky about the adapter because it needs to access more than generic OBD data.
