Has anyone tried the ODBLX? From what I've read its supposed to be just as fast as the MX, but I wasn't sure if the MX was required for Fords.

The last paragraph is what makes me wonder if the MX is required:

"Consider purchasing OBDLink MX if you need access to the proprietary Ford & GM vehicle networks (Ford MSC and GMLAN) in addition to the standard OBD-II protocols. "

I'm wondering this too? Anyone tried the LX?
Should be the same thing without in depth Ford download capabilities.
I don't plan to do anything but run torque with it. Datalogging is done via tuner, correct?
TIA

I'm thinking it lacks the ford specific pids also.

Its lacking "ms-can". Which I'm pretty sure is just PW/PL radio and ignition. Do I need that? Is anyone using that stuff remotely?
