Product Description

Connect With Your Car Like Never Before
OBDLink LX is a diagnostic scan tool, trip computer, logger, and real-time performance monitor.
This pocket-size adapter won't obstruct driver legroom and features unparalleled performance, intelligent sleep mode, hacker-proof security, exceptional third party app support, and lifetime firmware and software updates.
OBDLink LX includes the OBDLink Android app, which works exclusively with OBDLink products. The app is packed with outstanding features that make it easy to access, graph, log and export real-time engine data. Plus, your car's data can be directly downloaded or instantaneously uploaded and shared with others. Want more gauges? Create a custom live dashboard directly on your Android device.
There are never monthly subscription fees or data plans, ads or hidden costs with the OBDLink app.

Key Features
- Maximum vehicle coverage
- Up to 300% faster than nearest competitor
- Automatic sleep & wake-up
- Hacker-proof
- Android & Windows software included
- Lifetime firmware updates
- Additional 3rd party app & software options
- Guaranteed for 3 years
Maximum Vehicle Coverage
OBDLink LX Bluetooth works with all 1996 and newer cars and light trucks sold in the United States (except hybrid or electric vehicles). The OBDLink proprietary connection algorithm enables LX to connect to more makes and models than any other scan tool. It also supports EOBD, JOBD, and all other international variants of OBD-II.
Exclusive Software Included
With the included OBDLink app, at no cost, you can setup a HUD, clear the 'Check Engine Light', read all diagnostic trouble codes and research them online, check emissions test readiness, and calculate instantaneous and average MPG (and much more). OBDwiz diagnostics software for Windows PCs and laptops also included.
Exceptional Security Protection
OBDLink LX Bluetooth utilizes secure 128-bit data encryption, a sensible precaution to keep hackers from accessing your car's network. Unlike generic adapters, LX Bluetooth does not use an easy-to-guess PIN ('1234' or '0000'), or display the PIN publicly, protecting the communication link.
BatterySaver Technology
When you turn off your engine, LX Bluetooth goes to sleep and won't drain your car's battery. Its sophisticated triggers will wake up LX when you connect via Bluetooth, unlock doors, or crank the engine
Connects To More 3rd Party Apps
Allows you to use popular third party apps like Torque, DashCommand, and Dash to unlock enhanced performance, cost savings, and social driving.
Unmatched Performance
Up to 4x faster than the closest competitor. This increased throughput results in smooth, realistic virtual gauges and accurate, detailed graphs.

Why Should I Buy OBDLink Instead of a Generic Scan Tool?
1) Only LX Bluetooth has overvoltage protection, which keeps it from catching on fire during a load dump condition.
2) LX Bluetooth automatically goes to sleep when not in use, saving you the trouble of dealing with a dead car battery.
3) Having been engineered to provide exceptional data throughput, LX accelerates apps by up to 250% and PC software by up to 300%. Experience faster screen updates and more graph points.
4) Unlike the generic ELM327 adapters, LX Bluetooth uses strong encryption and neither broadcasts its presence, nor uses an easy-to-guess PIN to protect the communication link.
OBDLink LX is guaranteed for 3 years and comes with and lifetime software and firmware upgrades.

The OBDLink LX and the ODBLink android app were easy to set up and work well

- Reviewed in Canada on July 5, 2025Verified PurchasePurchased to read codes on my motorcycle and it worked well. Also tried it on my Toyota truck and it read a code. With this model you need to purchase a subscription to your specific vehicle in order to go in-depth to the vehicle workings. Subscription for my Toyota was reasonable if I want to go that route. They also have a list of aftermarket apps that you can subscribe to. Came well packed in a small padded case which was nice.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 17, 2025Verified PurchaseWorks exactly as advertised. I am using this ODBC unit in conjunction with the MotoScan app for BMW motorcycles.
The MotoScan app itself offers different levels of functionality depending on the version purchased. The ODBC unit works well with the app... both reading information from the motorcycle and allowing motorcycle settings to be adjusted.
On the ODBC unit bluetooth connectivity to my phone and the MotoScan app was very easy to set up.
There are lots of YT videos showing this ODBC unit being used. I bought mine on the recommendation from a number of YT reviewers... and I've not been let down.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 18, 2025Verified PurchaseWork great but expenssive
- Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2025Verified PurchaseWorks great for tuning my car with versa tune. Very easy to use
- Reviewed in Canada on September 16, 2022Verified PurchaseI was concerned that this wouldn't work with my Ford Edge, given that the MX model contains wording that suggests you need that model if you want to use it with a Ford or GM. The device worked the first time - hookup was easy, instructions clear and easy to follow (including the firmware update that took less than 10 seconds). I am able to get a great deal of information in real time about my vehicle (from coolant temp, to short and long-term trim on both banks, to catalytic converter temperature, power, torque, etc.). Perhaps the MX version can access a lot more that I don't need anyway. It also tells me I have no trouble codes. I have left it plugged into the OBD2 port for 2 days and, as advertised, it does shut off by itself avoiding battery drain. I am very pleased.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 15, 2025Verified PurchaseIt works great and set up was very simple.

Reviewed in Canada on May 27, 2025Verified PurchaseParfait pour me besoin Moto BMW avec appli motoscan dispo dans le play store Pas pour apple.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 14, 2018Verified PurchaseIn the words of Uncle Fester in that weird rock salt commercial: you gotta get the good one.
This is the good one. It's an actual licensed ELM device, and holy crap is it fast. If you're sporting one of the $10 jobbies right now, you'll be downright confused how this thing is so much faster. It's mildly ridiculous.
Unfortunately, I've had to update this review -- while it is fast, that's only when it works.
It almost immediately began losing its bluetooth pairing repeatedly. At least twice a week, i'd have to repair it.
And now, if I don't unplug and replug it effectively every single time I use it, it won't connect to the car. My $9 rip-off box, while slow, works perfectly.
Fortunately, ScanTool's warranty support took care of me, and the replacement unit has been working flawlessly for quite some time now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prestazioni senza pari
Verified PurchaseEro 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.

Verified PurchaseÖncelikle 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.
