*Note: The OBDLink app is not compatible with Windows phone 8. Please visit our official site for compatible 3rd party apps.

Supports OBD-II, Single-Wire CAN and Medium-Speed CAN

OBDLink MX provides wireless connectivity for all OBD-II protocols, plus advanced automotive networks commonly used in many late-model GM, Ford and Mazda vehicles. For supported GM models, you can control windows, door locks, and even remotely start your engine with the 3rd-party obdCANex Android app. On GM, Ford, and Mazda vehicles that use Single-Wire CAN or Medium-Speed CAN, you can also use enhanced PC diagnostic software like ScanXL to access ABS, airbag, and other systems that aren't available with an OBD-II-only interface.

  • Supports Ford Medium-Speed CAN (MS-CAN)

Exclusive OBDLink MX Bluetooth Features

OBDLink MX Bluetooth coverage

OBDLink MX Bluetooth includes free OBDLink app and OBDwiz software

OBDLink MX Bluetooth has strong Bluetooth security

Maximum Vehicle Coverage

OBDLink MX 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 MX 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 Android App and Diagnostics Software

You can 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) with the free OBDLink app. It also includes a HUD option. Additionaly, you'll get the free OBDwiz diagnostics software for Windows PCs and laptops.

Exceptional Security Protection

OBDLink MX Bluetooth utilizes secure 128-bit data encryption, a sensible precaution to keep hackers from accessing your car's network. Unlike generic adapters, MX Bluetooth does not use an easy-to-guess PIN, or display the PIN publicly, protecting the communication link.

OBDLink MX Bluetooth utilizes BatterySaver Technology

OBDLink MX Bluetooth supports GM-LAN & Ford-MSC

OBDLink MX Bluetooth works with 3rd party apps

OBDLink MX Bluetooth offers unmatched performance

BatterySaver Technology

When you turn off your engine, MX Bluetooth goes to sleep and won't drain your car's battery. Its sophisticated triggers will wake up MX when you connect via Bluetooth, unlock doors, or crank the engine.

Advanced GM and Ford Support

GM-LAN and Ford-MSC provide access to hundreds of additional parameters. With third party apps, you can enable convenience features (including remote start and door lock/unlock) on select models.

Connects To More 3rd Party Apps

Allows you to use popular third party apps like DashCommand and Dash to unlock enhanced performance, cost savings, and social driving. obdCANex enables you to control door locks and remotely start the engine (on select vehicles)!

Unmatched Performance

Up to 4x faster than the closest competitor. This increased throughput results in smooth, realistic virtual gauges and accurate, detailed graphs.

OBDLink MX Bluetooth compared to smart phone

While OBD adapters come in many shapes and sizes, most of them (apart from OBDLink) are based on the ELM327 chip from Elm Electronics. Nobody owns the ELM327 trademark, so the devices carrying this label may be manufactured by any one of the dozens of small Chinese factories. As a result, there is a wide variance in design and build quality.

Why Should I Buy OBDLink Instead of a Generic Scan Tool?

Key Functionality Differences

1) Only OBDLink MX Bluetooth has overvoltage protection, which keeps it from catching on fire during a load dump condition.

2) MX 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, MX accelerates apps by up to 250% and PC software by up to 300%. Experience faster screen updates and more graph points — an important feature, if you wish to graph multiple parameters or display a virtual dashboard.

4) Unlike the generic ELM327 adapters, MX Bluetooth uses strong encryption and neither broadcasts its presence, nor uses an easy-to-guess PIN (‘1234’ or ‘0000’) to protect the communication link. A potential hacker would require physical access to the device, in order to connect to it.

OBDLink MX Bluetooth ships in a nice retail box, with a 3-year warranty, and lifetime software and firmware upgrades. In summary, OBDLink provides the absolute best value for your money.

    Not the world's smallest but much faster than an ELM327
    4 Stars
    Not the world's smallest but much faster than an ELM327
    I purchased this because it was billed as being faster than other. It is certainly faster. I have had 2 different ELM327 adapters, one much larger than this, and the other much smaller, and both of them worked well enough, but they were both slow to hook up to Torque Pro and slower at updating the app than I would have liked. The OBDLink MX addresses both of those concerns, hooking up very quickly upon tuning the ignition key and keeping the app updated much more frequently.It has the same problem that they do of getting "lost" when I leave Torque up and wander near the edge of range. Often when I do that, I will get a popup asking me to relink the adapter, and it never will. I have to shut Torque down and then relink from the bluetooth menu of the phone. At least this seems to be easier with the MX than with the ELM327, as you just push the button and the phone asks if the code is right, rather than having to disconnect the adapter both in settings and unplugging it, then replugging it, rescanning, and having to input the pin again.The MX also seems more secure on the OBD2 connector, but then I've never had an ELM327 fall out so that is a moot point. The MX seems to be made of a stronger material and seems better built.It is not nearly the smallest though. I wish they would take that off the advertising and package.
