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:
- Plug OBDLink into a different USB port
- Connect OBDLink via a USB 2.0 hub
- Manually install the FTDI USB drivers
If none of the above solutions work, please contact OBDLink Support.

- Reviewed in Canada on July 3, 2025Verified PurchaseDoes everything as described
- Reviewed in Canada on May 24, 2025Verified PurchaseThis is a bit expensive but worked well with Forscan and my 2025 maverick. Very pleased, and no issues.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 20, 2025Verified PurchaseWorked perfectly with a subscription to Forscan.
Diagnosed a failed ABS module and recoded a used replacement. Saved $2500 over sending it to the dealer.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 16, 2025Verified PurchaseWorks 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.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 20, 2025Verified PurchaseKudos to this seller, well package and item was in a good condition.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 25, 2024Verified PurchaseWorks 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.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 20, 2025Verified PurchaseWorks as expected.
