Ford MS-CAN bus on Puma?
Simple question for someone who knows the answer! Smile

Does a Puma use MS-CAN bus for any modules or is it just HS-CAN bus?

The only reason I ask is that a lot of Ford vehicles do and as it's got a Ford lump, I'm unsure if it actually uses Ford based CAN bus technologies or whether LR have their own? Craig Rogers

Thumbs Up

That's what I thought.

The reason I ask is that Scantool have launched a "budget" version of their epic OBDLink MX, which is called the OBDLink LX

http://www.scantool.net/obdlink-lx.html

The difference being that they've dropped the GM and Ford MS-CAN capabilities. I've been wanting an OBDLink MX for ages, but the cost put me off. I should have an LX version by the end of the week which means Torque Pro (Android OBD2 app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details...;hl=en_GB) is now a much cheaper option.

It could indeed finally be a better option than Scangauge.

I'll report back when I get it all set up. Craig Rogers

Hi X-isle

would be interested to know where you ordered your LX version from?

Interesting story.........

I have an Ebay alert configured for OBDLink MX. Imagine my surprise when one came up for around £85.

So I bought it. The seller is ndds-uk which is North Down Diagnostics which is also Scantool-direct.

Anyway, I was then contacted to say that the MX was the last in stock and the box was damaged and so was the reader so he offered me a refund and discount off the LX.

I didn't realise that the LX existed and seems quite new so had to wait a few days before one came in stock. It has now arrived and is on its way in the post.

EDIT: Here it is on the Scantool-Direct website - http://www.scantool-direct.co.uk/obdlink-l...-290-p.asp Craig Rogers

It's awesome! Full report coming up once I've finished playing around with it and get it customised how I want it. Craig Rogers
