A little guide for running forscan on Linux.

This assumes you have a linux pc already setup with wine.

  1. Download and run the forscan setup file.
  2. Ensure the application can run then close it.
  3. Create a symbolic link to the virtual device /dev/ttyUSB0 (ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/devices/COM33)
  4. Plug in your OBD2 scanner to a usb port.
  5. Launch forscan then adjust the settings for what serial device it connects to.
  6. Verify connectivity to vehicle.
  7. Cheers.
