    • The current crone of ODBLink products works flawless
Nothing to add, it works perfect. I recommend not to buy any pricey OBD software before you tried the company’s app which has additional functionality for most US car manufacturers when connected to the OBDLing MX+. I had no issues with anything at all. Just follow the official guidance.

    • Cool Product
I bought this [with my own money not a free on for a review] hoping I would not have to use my very expensive hand held ones anymore which are cumbersome and you always pretty much have to go to the computer to get the codes and search on the net to see what they mean, possible causes and possible fixes. I bought one on amazon similar to this one that was around $18 and had to buy a couple of apps for my phone [around 10 dollars for the apps] to be able to use it. It was OK but I wanted MORE information. I read amazon reviews and realized this was the Cadillac of them at this time [Jan 2016]. I got it in 2 days with Prime. I plugged it on my 3 vehicles and it gives us a plethora of information. We have since sold our hand held ones on craigslist since this thing works so good and gives you unbelievable amount of information. [I do have a couple of complaints, later in the review.] I have been looking for another used vehicle and this device has saved us thousands $$. Your phone is connected to the internet so it goes out and gets you a lot of extra info right away & also updates the device software if need be. It even gives you information about when was the last time someone ERASED ERROR CODES which is happening across the dealers & private sellers in the 40207 and 33186 zip codes more than you would have thought! [in DAYS:HRS:MINS and also miles]. Don't forget anyone can get a cheap code reader for less than 20 dollars and erase all codes! The serious codes that the vehicle computer reads will come back immediately if erased, others will take a day or 2 -or longer-of driving time to come back in. To late if you bought a vehicle from a private owner and it's in your name already. Its funny to see the face of people when I tell them, these are all the error codes that the vehicle is giving me, the possible causes [yes this thing does tell you that too!] and BTW someone erased the codes 3 days 22 hrs and 3 minutes ago! It will give you all recalls for the make and model has had from day one! You can ask the owner or dealer to make sure those have been addressed or not. Most will claim [dealers and private owners] that no one has erased the error codes. I say to them "well sir or madam, this is what YOUR vehicle computer is telling my device. It pretty much saying that someone came in here with a key and a code reader, plugged it in and erased the codes 3 days 22 hrs and 3 minutes ago!" When they finally fess up [not all of them do] I just ask them what were the codes that were erased [to see if it was something easy like they didn't close the fuel cap correctly or something serious like -which I got on several different vehicles without any lights on the dash-a catalytic converter, an O2 sensor or both, anti lock brake codes, steering angle sensors, low or high voltage power supply, tire pressure warning system codes, airbag malfunctions, etc]. This purchase has saved thousands on repairs on several vehicles I checked and would have bought!. Sellers were asking top dollar for these vehicles because they had “no lights on the dash” and they had done a cleaning detail on the vehicle! I even took a vehicle that I really liked to a dealership and paid for an inspection. They didn't get what I got on the code reader at first [or just didn't plug their code reader] but when I complained to the service manager, they hooked up their reader and got the same stuff [erased codes] and other malfunction codes that were not showing on the dash. BTW this device only tells you that codes were erased, it does not tell ou which ones. They refunded my inspection money because of their embarrassment. That right there paid for this device! I also have run in a couple of situations where the person selling the vehicle has advertised a higher model of the vehicle I was looking at to get more money out of it. These are vehicles in the 7k to 15k range I've been looking at [clean title only]. This has happened with private sellers who either buy the LXE [as an example] letters from ebay or a junk yard [I am guessing] and put the new letters claiming the vehicle is a higher level that it really is. The software on this device reads the vin number goes to the net and gets the EXACT model and make from the vehicle. You should see the face of people when I tell them this is a L model [the lower end one ] and not the LEX one! Some of you would say this is on the tittle, well…. Not always. I have a Honda Odyssey and the title does NOT say which model it is! I think everyone reading this knows there are lots of people who are buying vehicles at auction, cleaning them up and sell them for profit posing as regular owners. A vehicle fax can be $40/vehicle and gets expensive quick if you do several cars. [I like vehicle carfax over other because they give you a lot more information on regular service etc than their competitors]. In my area code and in the MIAMI area -which is were I have been also trying to buy a used vehicle- there are tons of people selling more than 10 vehicles a year [which are required by law to get a dealer license and do not]. When you ask them why is the vehicle not on their name, or why the have 4 vehicles for sale out of their house, or why was the title on the vehicles he/she's selling less than 3 weeks old the come with the story about them getting a better vehicle or sob storries. If you pry hard enough they'll tell you they are "wholesalers" but don't have the required licenses insurance etc and are less than reputable in the disclosure of their vehicles they're selling. Don't get me started on the habitual “private” sellers of salvage but repaired title vehicles! Use this device wisely and save yourself a lot of headaches or negotiate a better price on the used vehicle you are buying and also check your existing vehicles and telling your mechanic exactly what is going on. Be an informed consumer. I have two complaints about the device: 1- When looking this couple of months for a used vehicle in zip code areas 40207 and 33186, I usually start the vehicle with it plugged in, let it read all the codes, vin number etc, while the vehicle is warming up, then I drive the vehicle for about 15 to 20 mins to get more info on what the vehicle is doing while you drive it etc and hope that one of the erased codes pops up again. I have lost connection with my phone and the device several times while driving, where I have to stop and reconnect it and therefore lost all data that was being recorded. I thought it could be my phone connection via the Blue-tooth, so I downloaded the app on my wifes phone and the same thing happens! They are both newer iphone 6 and 6 +. Sellers are not to happy to go around and drive the vehicle again for 20 mins so I can record results again! 2-I have also had the device fall from the ODBII plug several times. This kind of sucks because you have to start the process all over again and lose all the data that was there before. I have checked about 20 vehicles in the last 3 months. I usually email myself the data while the app is running and they show the results from that email to the seller if there is something wrong since I haven't figured out how to save the data in the phone. I have resorted now to getting some blue tape and taping it around the plug and the device when its plugged in. Not something I'm happy about. Hope this helps some of you out there. ... show more

    • Powerful Features
I found this tool to be very easy to use. When I used it for the first time, I loaded the app for my iPhone 11, plugged the MX+ into the OBD connector, paired the Bluetooth and let it do its thing. Firmware in the adapter was updated without any issues (my phone was connected to my home Wifi network at the time). I also used the MX+ with a Dell laptop (running Forscan software) as well and found the Bluetooth pairing a little more difficult. However, I think this was more of a Windows 10 issue (and my not being accustomed to pairing devices to a laptop). I bought this tool as my Carista OBD2 adapter did not have the capabilities to access all of the data buses in my wife's 2013 Ford Fusion. Using the Bluetooth MX+ with the Forscan software (using free 2 month license) loaded on a laptop, I was able to get into all of the high speed and low speed buses in the Ford (CAN, CAN2, CAN3, etc.). I needed to program up some "dealer only" accessible features as well as program a used Ford radio/ACM that I had installed to replace the failed original radio. To do this, I needed to download the "As Built List" from Ford website (enter VIN) for the original radio and copy the hexadecimal configuration data into the used radio. The MX+ with the Forscan software worked flawlessly. Next, my 2006 Chevy Avalanche airbag trouble light set so I used the MX+ (with the OBDLink app loaded on my iPhone 11) to diagnose which crash sensor had triggered the trouble code. Matching the DTC code read by the MX+ with what was in my GM Service manual, I was able to diagnose down to the exact sensor that needed to be replaced. My only complaint here is that the description provided in the OBDLink app did not match what was in the service manual. For instance, DTC B0101 was set. The app displayed this as "Electronic Front End Sensor 1 Performance" (which is really DTC B0100 in the manual). DTC B0101 in the manual is "Discard Electronic Front End Sensor 1". Since these are expensive sensors ($200+ for the GM version), I decided to swap the two front crash sensors to confirm that the problem followed the sensor. When I did this, the MX+ read out DTC B0104 "Electronic Front End Sensor 2" although the description in the manual shows this as "Discard Electronic Front End Sensor 2". So in any case, the MX+ with OBDLink app was able to confirm that the sensor was in fact defective. I trust the DTC code that was read out but not the description. Next, my factory Navigation built into the radio in my Avalanche has not been working. The MX+ captured a DTC code from the radio indicating that GPS had failed. I will leave it to another time to diagnose but its amazing how many systems in the vehicle that the MX+ has access to. I use the Carista application on my phone to make "dealer only" changes to my 2020 Prius Prime. As the MX+ is listed as compatible with this app, I know the next time I need to make changes, I will be using the MX+ instead of the Carista OBD2 adapter (assuming there are no hardware issues), but I have not yet tested this. Overall, the price appeared high compared to other OBD adapters. However, when I take into consideration that I paid hundreds of dollars over 10 years ago for an Auto X-ray reader kit (and this is nothing more than a paper weight now since the manufacturer went out of business and the firmware is no longer updated), the $100 price paid for the MX+ does not seem bad. I just hope these folks stay in business so that they can continue to provide updates. I definitely recommend the OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner. ... show more
