I believe you need a 'f super'. I got one a few weeks ago. I haven't tried it yet (Which is a bit silly i know).

Bought a dedicated ford one at random on eBay and it works great. Bro in law bought a laptop all singing and dancing interface one and it's nothing but problems. They are cheap enough to take a Punt on





You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a chainsaw

Watch out with the F-Super. NO problem with the hardware, but the freebie software has a virus / malware in it.
I sanitized mine before installing. So DONT follow their instructions about ignoring the warning.

Otherwise it works well with my Atom Netbook, Took me a while to realise I can change the com port in Win7 to what I needed.

Just my 2 reils worth.
