Installing USB drivers for OBDLink EX

Most of the time, OBDLink EX installation is a smooth process: the USB drivers should install automatically as soon as you plug it in. Unfortunately, certain laptop models feature a non-compliant USB 3.0 controller which sometimes causes problems for our customers. If you receive "USB not recognized" or similar error messages, try one of the following solutions:

  1. Plug OBDLink into a different USB port
  2. Connect OBDLink via a USB 2.0 hub
  3. Manually install the FTDI USB drivers

If none of the above solutions work, please contact OBDLink Support.

    Diagnosed a failed ABS module and recoded a used replacement. Saved $2500 over sending it to the dealer.

    Works great on my 2020 interceptor for using Forscan to do mods. I had an older generic obd but it wouldn’t work on the newer models. Highly recommend.

    Works flawlessly for what I need so far. My only concern is that for what I paid for this it seems cheaply made. I feel like I might break it easy.

    Hasn't let me down so I'll be gentle for now.

    The media could not be loaded.
    works perfect and very fast, before this I bought the vLinker FS as it was £30 cheaper but it wouldn't work, was slow and would lose connection before it finished scanning, do yourself a favour and spend £60 on this instead of buying twice like I did. Scanned and gave me the codes and as an added bonus was able to program my APIM to change the splash screen.
