OBDLink LX

Updated review because the software was released to the Kindle market. It's a good little device. It is fast and works great, but it's at the higher end of the price scale. It powers down and kicks out a lot of info but the added bells and whistles aren't really 'do die for' necessary over a quality scanner in a lower price bracket. I dig it, but it's a little spendy. Can't do 4.5 stars for the price ding but 5 is fair considering the quality and output. OLD Review: Pros FIRST because my one complaint kinda annoys me. Pros: It works great and fired right up with some apps. Paired quickly on bluetooth and got codes quickly. Lights and info are very straight forward and it is fairly simple to use. BUT....The app that is in the instructions (The OBDLink app) isn't on the Kindle app site. The device is here on AMAZON with AMAZON all over the packaging and Amazon appears in the instructions...but...no love for Kindle. There are other apps that work just fine but the OBDLink app intended for it that's in the paperwork and instructions isn't available for the Kindle. Kinda miffed about that... If you have an Android phone or tablet that is NOT a Kindle, you'll be fine. It also comes with a code to put it on a Windows laptop. I would like to love it, but right in the instructions it says "Thank you for your purchase. If you like it yadda yadda ...."post your review on AMAZON!" (Just....ignore the fact that Amazon makes Kindle but this app is for Android and Microsoft but Kindle blocks it even though the instructions have the word AMAZON in them.)

Works perfect with Motoscan and linked perfectly with my R1250R

This is very easy to use. It is compatible with many obd reader apps - but i find it works best with OBDLink's app. I had to pay $15 extra on the app for enhanced "PIDs". It seems very accurate and best of all - you can see engine oil and transmission oil temps that you wouldn't otherwise know! I used it to pull a code on my truck saying I needed a new Camshaft Position Sensor. This reader is definitely worth the $90 they ask!

Great product, worked for about 7 months and saved me the headache of diagnosing issues at AutoZone or a mechanic. I brought a car I paid $750 for from California to Massachussetts and back, and without this tool I wouldn't have known about the direct ignition issue common with Saabs of that year. A quick 5 minute Google search of the codes and symptoms almost always brings up a couple results, the internet is a great place to find people who've had the same problems as you, and subsequently shared their fix so others don't have to go through what they went through. Ive stopped numerous times for people with their hood up and offered to use this tool and almost every time they said they wanted one, after I told one to go on Amazon and get one for $50 he bought it on the spot. Most of the time I'd leave it in my obd2 vehicles and it never once drained my battery, even when the led would Unfortunately, the Bluetooth button is now impossible to press and renders the device useless as often times it seems to change Bluetooth ID and unpairs from your phone. Function: 5/5 I can live with small Bluetooth issues for $50 Construction: 3/5 made from a solid plastic, doesn't look or feel cheap. Bluetooth button has broken after moderate to heavy use I will revise my review if I hear back from the company. 11/03/17 update I'm changing my review because I was able to pop the button back into position and the tool has been working great since.

Works perfect. connects well with alfaobd, used to turn on trailer lights on jeep grand Cherokee

Good quality. A step above the cheap bluetooth OBD adapters. Have purchased several of the cheaper OBD2 adapters over the years and have always run into small problems with them not always being compatible or having some small issue. Finally spent the money to upgrade to this one. It has worked well with everything I've thrown at it so far. It now lives in my Jeep center console just in case. Good build quality with better plastic quality. Able to diagnose your check engine light and change settings on my Jeep Wrangler. Easy to install and lights are visible / readable. Good accurate tool to help with your vehicle interface.

This is the tool to get if you need an OBDII scanner. There is plenty of selections out there, but for an Android user like me, this is a perfect tool to work with. For Android, you can download the free OBDLink scan tool, but I haven't quite figured out how well the app supports multiple-vehicle profile. If you have multiple car sharing this one little tool, you can purchase Torque app on Google Play. Torque allows you to set up the vehicle profile once, and be done with it for life. A couple things to keep in mind on what the tool can do for you. You can definitely use it to scan for faulty engine code, so you don't have to make a trip to O'Reilly's/AutoZone/AAP for engine code scan. In addition, you can reset the engine codes, and verify the issue after driving for 30 min or less. If you plan to get your car state-inspected, you will definitely need to drive your car for about 30 min, so you don't automatically fail the test. Other neat feature includes real-time monitoring of the vehicle data, including but not limited to engine temperature. In fact, because of this tool, I was able to detect abnormal engine temperature while driving and took corrective measures (adding for engine coolants) before the car breaks down on freeway. In all seriousness, within a week later, it detected a failed upstream oxygen sensor. Since I knew what went wrong, I was able to buy an oxygen sensor online and figured out the repair on my own. After that, the same vehicle passed Texas State Inspection. In all, I gained the knowledge on how to replace oxygen sensor and not have to throw money at a local mechanics. This is a small investment that will save you a ton of headache later on. A must have indeed!

I just started using this today, but I can tell that it will help me fine tune my car usage. I have multiple possible routes to commute to/from work, and I have often wondered which would be best for fuel usage. I have a couple of choices on surface streets, plus a slightly longer trip that is partially on a freeway to choose from. I know that my mileage is better on the freeway route, but I don't know if it saves enough gas to make up for the longer distance. My car (a Subaru Legacy) has the capability to display milers per gallon, and I could use that, and the mileage to figure it out. The problem is that I either forget to reset things when the commute starts, or to record them at the end of the commute. With the software capabilities on my Android phone, I will be able to let the computer do the remembering for me. Installation was simple, I just had to spend the 30 seconds to locate the connector, and plug in the OBDLink LX. Once it was plugges in (confirmed by led indicators), I pressed the bluetooth sync button, and then had my phone look for the bluetooth device. Once synced, I started the software that I had downloaded (software was specific to this device, downloaded from the Play Store following a link that the vendor provided), and it started working. It even properly identified the make, model and year of my car... Now, I just need to take a few trips on the various routes so I can figure out which one on average uses less gas. Then I will be able to have some fun and explore other OBD-II software on the Android platform to seer what I want to use long term. I know at least one (Dash) rates your driving to help you to drive more efficiently... that one could be interesting. I have read warnings about cheap interfaces, although I haven't tried any others. This model is designed in the US and made in China, and at least with my limited sample of 1 unit, it is definitely a good choice. The limited documentation does mention firmware updates, but I am not sure how they will be accomplished. However, my unit was built earlier this month, so I am confident that the firmware is up to date.

Très content de ce produit fonctionne très bien avec application très content merci

Ero alla ricerca di un lettore OBD che oltre ad essere strumento di diagnostica per auto mi poteva permettere di avere sotto mano, attraverso varie applicazioni tra cui Hybrid Assistant, tutte le informazioni di funzionamento della mia Toyota CHR. Dopo aver valutato e provato altri lettori, mi sono convinto dell'acquisto di questo prodotto. Un particolare che avrete notato tutti: OBDLink LX costa parecchi euro rispetto agli altri, ma, a mio avviso, li potrebbe valere tutti e vi spiego anche il perché. Iniziamo con il descrive le caratteristiche principali: OBDlink è uno scanner diagnostico che viene inserito nel connettore OBD-II di un veicolo compatibile. Tramite una connessione Bluetooth trasforma lo smartphone, tablet o PC in un sistema di monitoraggio in tempo reale delle performances del motore. Per fare il pairing con il nostro dispositivo portatile basta connettere OBDlink al connettore OBD e premere il pulsantino. Solo in questo momento sarà rilevabile dallo smartphone senza necessità di inserire un pin. Questa procedura rende OBDlink particolarmente sicuro e a prova di hacker. E’ compatibile con il diffusissimo standard OBD-II, praticamente lo standard di quasi tutti gli autoveicoli degli ultimi venti anni. Supporta anche il protocollo EOBD, JOBD e altre varianti di OBD-II. Il primo mio timore era che, lasciandolo sempre collegato potesse, scaricare la batteria del veicolo. Mi sono subito tranquillizzato poichè OBDlink appena è fuori dalla portata del Bluetooth dello smartphone si mette automaticamente in sleep mode. Al contrario si attiverà appena tornerà nel raggio di azione del Bluetooth. E non solo, si spegne non appena si spegne il veicolo e si riattiva ad ogni accensione del motore. Ed io, così, lo lascio sempre inserito, senza aver riscontrato alcun problema. Per la diagnostica dell'autovettura, viene fornita un'app gratuita - solo per android - ben fatta, senza pubblicità, e che consente di leggere i codici di errore diagnostici, leggere tutti i dati di funzionamento dell'auto (circa 90 parametri) e tanto altro. Infine, completa e perfetta è la funzionalità con Hybrid Assistant, app che permette con facilità l’accesso alle informazioni più importanti riguardanti il funzionamento della mia Toyota CHR. Le tante informazioni fornite, aiutano a comprendere il funzionamento del veicolo ibrido, e mi stanno aiutando a perfezionare la guida e a ridurre sensibilmente il consumo di carburante. Cosa importante, trasmette tutti i dati in modo istantaneo risultando di gran lunga migliore e affidabile di altri lettori da 15/20 € da me in precedenza testato e che avevano, tra i principali difetti, una latenza imbarazzante nella comunicazione dei dati. La velocità e l'accuratezza nell'inviare i dati permettono cosi di ottenere un indicatore virtuale fluido e realistico con grafici dettagliati. In conclusione, il costo è elevato, se rapportato alla concorrenza cinese, ma se volete un prodotto affidabile, veloce, qualitativamente valido e sicuro, compatibile con tutte le maggiori app disponibili e che offre la piena compatibilità con Hybrid Assistant, allora questo è il miglior acquisto che possiate fare. Spero che la mia esperienza sia stata per voi utile.

J'ai acheté ce lecteur obd, parce que que c'est le seul valable sur une prius plus,suivi par les développeurs et les créateurs de Dr prius et hybride assistant conseil cet odb. Il y'a eu des cas où les odb chinois, on crée des problème suite à un bug dans la communication et mis la voiture en sécurité. Donc autant acheté une chose de qualité directement que d économisé et se dire j'aurai du invertir quelques chose de correct. L'utilisation c'est basique un petit bouton pour appareillé avec le BT. La lecture se fait immédiatement. J'ai supprimé le bip ceinture qui était insupportable... J'ai vu qu'il y'a la possibilité de passer sa voiture en mode maintenance, pour éviter les manip du style de jeux vidéo des années 90

Great, still running now. The auto-low power and wake-up is a real 12v battery preserver!

Öncelikle sadece Android cihazınızda (telefon veya tablet) ve kendi araçlarınızda kullanacaksanız bunu almanızı tavsiye ederim. MX+ modelinin farkı İos ve Android'de çalışmasıdır, ihtiyacınız yoksa gereksizdir. Cihaz her türlü veriyi anlık olarak okuyabilen piyasadaki en hızlı Obd okuyucudur, diğer bütün pahalı cihazları incelemiş biri olarak bunu rahatlıkla söyleyebilirim. Bilinen en iyi Android uygulamalarla uyumludur, verileri sürekli olarak ve anlık görmek istiyorsanız doğru cihazı inceliyorsunuz.
