Default OBD!! which scan tool Total or Forscan ??

Going to buy one of these . On ebay the total one says you can adjust the parameters in the ECU as well as scan and clear error codes.

Leaning towards it, or is forscan just as good or better.

Any one experienced with ether ?

What kind of stuff can you adjust? Can you make the heater/aircon go up in whole degree increments rather than 0.5 which is really silly.

The total or "toad" claims you can adjust or optimise some parameters in the ECU to do with the mapping. only those that the manufactures let you adjust so not a remapping tool just tweaking that can be done leagally. Not sure if this applies to Aussie fords.
Also is compatible with a whole range of manufactures / models. Free software updates.

Forscan is ford / mazda is free and most guys use it for this fact, software updates free. but if you own another car outside these two manufacturers not useable.

Was just wondering if anyone has Toad and what they thought of it to forscan.
