Why Should I Buy OBDLink Instead of a Generic ELM327 Adapter?

OBDLink SX delivers data samples per second. The fast response times let you enjoy detailed graphs and logs, plus ultra-smooth, realistic virtual gauges. OBDLink SX has overvoltage protection, preventing it from catching on fire during a load dump condition. It automatically goes to sleep when not in use, saving you the trouble of dealing with a dead car battery. In summary, OBDLink provides a ton of value for your money.

    Worked great for me!
    5 Stars
    Worked great for me!
    worked great for me. For the price, you cant' beat it. Product came, I downloaded their software from their site, drivers loaded automatically (be within wifi when you first hook this up to your car!), and it all ran great!Google OBDWiz, their site is the first one, see what they have to offer. I exported the data to Open Office Calc (similar to MS Excel), and created the charts attached from the data. You need to be familiar with a spreadsheet software in order to do this! OBDWiz will show you instantaneous graphs while you are running the test, but if you want more than a few seconds worth of info, I don't think it will show you(I could be wrong, I just started playing with this)2002 Subaru Outback 2.5P0420 code "Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold"I just replaced my forward and back O2 sensors with Bosch three months ago, so I was pissed. I also just passed emmisions a couple weeks ago, so I was really baffled. First thing I always do on a P0420 is run two tanks of gas with fuel injector cleaner. It didn't help.This system allowed me to monitor my O2s and other systems. When I saw my fuel trim was running lean, I listened to my injectors (long screwdriver from injector to ear) more closely. While they are all working, one doesn't "click" nearly as loud as the others, so I am assuming it isn't closing properly, and therefor leaking gas into the cylinder. I picked up a used injector (c'mon, car has 230k miles on it, and I'm cheap), and will try that, and hopefully remember to update this review.UPDATE: I replaced the "quieter" injector with a used one, and the car ran terrible for the first 3-4 short and medium trips. I think this is the computer re-calibrating for the new operation of the car (fixed injector, correct amount of fuel). Then, it suddenly started running great, great power, smooth idle, I hadn't realized how poor it was before!So yeah, this tool helped me to identify a leaking injector, after injector treatment and O2 replacement failed to correct the problem. No more p0420 code, and no more smell (before, I had to disconnect the smoke alarm in my garage, cuz firing up my car would set it off). Definitely two thumbs up, more if I had them!Attached are graphs of my car after a week of operating with the new (used) injector (last three photos). I lost data contact between 100-300 seconds (my bad, I exited the car, and bumped the connector, didn't notice until I got back in), so ignore the flatlines there.
