Auto Enginuity

Post by akaFrankCastle »

Anyone using AE's software for Ford? Kind of wanting to hook it up to the F-teenthousand and see what it spits out.

We have the program at the shop, I have only used it with volkswagen. I'm not sure if we have any programing for domestics. Haven't tried, we have five other scan tool tools to play with.

Anyway it is a great program. Tons of capability. Does great for activating many components singled out for testing,more than any of the other scanners will do with volkswagens or audi's. I'm sure it would be great with fords as well.

I will check tomorrow if ours has the capability to get in with out using global obd2.

I have a friend who has it. Used it a couple times and I liked it! Might pony up for a copy myself someday, but I need to get a laptop too. It actually help me find a short that had plagued my truck for a couple years!

good to know, it always seems with other scan tools you dont all the capability you should with the ford power strokes.
I guess ours is setup for domestics and asian.

Much nicer than having the software tied to a specific computer.
