I have been really pleased with a programme called Forscan from www.forscan.org. This is a free, Ford specific, programme that runs on a windows laptop with no download questions, email requests, sign-ups, etc. Helpful forum and the programmers keep adding new vehicles.
I use it with a generic ELM327 chip USB adaptor OBD2 (OBDII) but the type with a switch so it can read both types of bus (HS CAN bus and MS CAN bus). MS CAN bus is not supported by the stock ELM327. Search on ebay for something like "modified" "Elm327" "forscan" "USB". Typically £12-£18 delivered or collect from an Argos. You can add a switch yourself to a no switched version.
I don't know if the wireless type do both types of data bus as I have not tried this type.
