OBDLink LX is an easy-to-use, inexpensive, hacker-proof, lightning-fast Bluetooth OBD adapter that can turn your smart phone, tablet, laptop, or netbook into a sophisticated diagnostic scan tool, trip computer, and real-time performance monitor.
Based on the best-selling OBDLink MX , the budget-priced OBDLink LX offers the same unparalleled performance, delivering up to 4 times as many samples per second as the closest competitor. The ultra-fast response times let you enjoy accurate, detailed graphs and smooth, realistic virtual gauges.
Consider purchasing OBDLink MX if you need access to the proprietary Ford & GM vehicle networks (Ford MSC and GMLAN) in addition to the standard OBD-II protocols.
OBDLink LX is an easy-to-use, inexpensive, hacker-proof, lightning-fast Bluetooth OBD adapter that can turn your smart phone, tablet, laptop, or netbook into a sophisticated diagnostic scan tool, trip computer, and real-time performance monitor.
The ergonomically designed, small form factor device comes in frustration-free packaging, and takes an average of 3 minutes to install. The button on the back of the unit makes the connection process both easy and secure: unlike most other adapters on the market, LX neither broadcasts its presence, nor uses an easy-to-guess PIN to protect the communication link. A potential hacker would require physical access to the device, in order to connect to it.
LX supports all legislated OBD-II protocols, and works with all 1996 & newer cars and light trucks sold in the United States. It also supports EOBD, JOBD, and all other international variants of OBD-II.

Fully functional with MG/ROVER/BMW ECU unlike cheaper copies. Does everything it says it does, there is a free app on google play which works very well, and has a windows app that syncs with the android app.
A useful engineering tool and also a bit of fun for car enthusiasts. Worth spending that little bit more to get a quality item. Unlike the many many obd2 devices available on amazon, the obdlink LX oozes quality. The packaging is good, the instructions easy to follow and the device itself is well built and looks the part. Setup is a doddle, install the app, plug in the obd2 dongle into the obd port of you car (usually under the steering wheel column behind a little cover). Turn the key 2 steps in the ignition without turning over the engine. Then you simply pair the device by opening your bluetooth settings and scanning for the dongle, then pressing the little button on the front of the dongle itself. Pairing should take no time at all.
