Product Description
OBDLink MX+ is a one-of-a-kind wireless OBD adapter that transforms any iPhone, iPad, or Android device into a professional-grade diagnostic scan tool, trip computer, and real-time performance monitor capable of accessing manufacturer-specific vehicle data.
The newest addition to the OBDLink family is even faster, more reliable, and more feature-rich than its predecessors.
It is the only wireless iOS-compatible scan tool on the market that supports the proprietary GM-LAN and Ford MS-CAN vehicle networks, giving you access to dozens of additional ECUs and thousands of manufacturer-specific trouble codes and parameters, including ABS, SRS, TPMS, A/C, transmission temperature, and wheel speeds.
While there are other solutions capable of displaying real-time data, OBDLink MX+ is optimized for maximum throughput, delivering up to four times more data samples per second than the closest competitor. This translates into smoother gauges and graphs, and the ability to simultaneously display multiple parameters.
OBDLink MX+ incorporates features not found in competing adapters that make it safe to leave plugged in: hacker-proof wireless security, overvoltage/load dump protection and ultra-low-current sleep mode. For added peace of mind, MX+ comes with free firmware upgrades and free technical support.
Why should you choose MX+?
- Enhanced Diagnostics: read (and clear) manufacturer-specific codes and access live parameters on a wide range of Ford, GM, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota vehicles
- GM-LAN and Ford MS-CAN: read and clear trouble codes from ECUs on proprietary vehicle networks that are off limits to BlueDriver and FIXD
- Unmatched performance: MX+ is 300% faster than the closest competitor — display multiple live parameters and enjoy smooth gauges & graphs
- Dozens of compatible apps, and more added all the time!
- Intelligent sleep mode: plug it in, and forget about it — it won't drain your car's battery
- Hacker-proof: unique security mechanism eliminates the risk of unauthorized access
- Rock-solid connection: no dropped packets, no gaps in the data
OBDLink MX+, Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner and Vehicle Performance Monitor
Connect With Your Car Like Never Before

MORE COVERAGEOBDLink MX+ 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. Read and clear codes on all OBD-compliant vehicles, NO EXCEPTIONS. |
MORE FEATURESOBDLink MX+'s functionality is limited only by the imagination of the programmers that write the apps. Apps that exist on the market today, can be used to:
|
MORE SECUREUnlike other OBD adapters, MX+ does not use an easy-to-guess PIN and requires physical access for the initial pairing. It doesn't broadcast its presence and employs strong encryption — sensible precautions to keep hackers out of your vehicle's network. |
MORE APPS
OBDLink MX+ works with dozens of popular third-party apps like Torque, Dash, FORScan, DashCommand, obdCANex and Harry's Lap Timer to unlock enhanced performance, save fuel, change vehicle settings and even control door locks and remotely start the engine on select vehicles.
Note: many apps are currently available exclusively on Android; check with app provider to confirm compatibility.
MORE DATA
OBDLink MX+ supports GM-LAN and Ford-MSC proprietary vehicle networks that provide access to thousands of additional parameters that are off-limits to all other wireless OBD scanners, including BlueDriver and FIXD.
With third party apps, you can enable convenience features (including remote start and door lock/unlock) and change configuration on select models.
MORE RELIABLE
When you turn off your engine, OBDLink MX+ goes to sleep and won't drain your automobile's battery. Its sophisticated triggers will wake up MX+ when you connect via Bluetooth, unlock doors, or crank the engine.
MX+ includes overvoltage/load dump protection, a feature critical for any OBD device that is designed to be powered from the vehicle's 12-volt system.

I'll be upgrading my dashboard mount for my smartphone, allowing me to get a closer view on the gauges included on the app, and so far I'm really happy with the features and functions!
Very customizable and useful details are provided. Setup was simple and straightforward, too - plug the device into the OBD port under the driver's side dashboard (in my truck that is left of the steering column) - then a simple push of the Bluetooth connection button on the front of the device, then hit the "Connect+" button on the app, and boom!
The only downside to this device is that the software provided by the manufacturer that you install from the Google Play is not that good. I had difficulty getting the hardware to talk to the manufacturer software but in my case it didn't matter since I was planning to use third-party software, which works very well with the hardware. The manufactures Android software has a plugin that accesses special codes for my Honda, so I really want it to work, but it difficult to get the software to work smoothly (Which is issues, but not a huge issues).
The OBDLink MX+ is capable of accessing all of the ODBII codes (Even car model specific codes) and communicate via Bluetooth at a high speed. Other manufactures cheap ODB-II devices can have issues maintaining a high data transfer rate or a steady data rate but the OBDLink MX+ does not have either ones of these issues.
As with all good hardware, I want to point out several things:
1) The firmware of the OBDLink MX+ is updated regularly. I have received two updates in about a months time, so as of this writing, this product is getting great support from the manufacture. The update process is more or less painless (I had a tiny issue the first time I updated the firmware) and should take about 5 minutes to complete.
2) The OBDLink MX+ is capable of sending lots of data at a high speed to your phone/tablet. On my Pixel 3, I use Torque Pro with the OBDLink MX+ and I have never had an issue with data being dropped or the Bluetooth connection stalling. If you are really into collecting data from your car, this is really important!
I have the OBDLink MX+ send ODB-II data to my phone every .1 seconds (Yes, 10 updates a second) and Torque Pro says it is not having any issues. Torque Pro also says that the OBDLink MX+ is one of the fastest ODBII devices (There is a speed test you can do in Torque Pro and then compare the result to other ODB-II connectors (Bluetooth, WiFi and wired)).
3) Surprisingly, the manufactures supplied ODBII software from the Google Play store is not that good (Well, on a Pixel 3 running Android 10). I have difficultly getting the supplied software on my phone to communicate with my OBDLink MX+. When you start up the ODBII software, you are suppose to click connect and then the software does its magic, but most of the time, it just hangs and does nothing. If I have ran Torque Pro on my phone, I have to reboot my phone to get the manufactures software to work with the OBDLink MX+. Then when it is connected, sometimes it still does not even work. The Dashboard (Shows speed, RPM and other stuff) does not update often or at all. Switching over to Torque Pro shows that my phone is connected to the OBDLink MX+ and the OBDLink MX+ is sending data. Honestly, it's not a big deal accept that OBDLink MX+ gives you some of the car specific codes for free. When you are having car issues, seeing the extra car specific codes is super helpful. I really wish the manufactures Android software worked better and was not a pain to work with. However, not a deal killer since I use their party software such as Torque Pro.
Note to the manufacture of OBDLink MX+, you really need to fix your Android software. Other than that, a great product!
The good part of this software is that it is amazingly configurable and capable. It even lets me do stuff I shouldn't do, like feed codes back into my ECU.
You can put graphic monitoring consoles together for smart phones and PCs. Various gauge graphics are available, and you can size them and place them wherever you'd like. The software even lets you put in virtual buttons that will perform an action when pressed. Very powerful.
This OBD2 adapter doesn't seem to allow you to readily diagnose issues, other than finding out what the code is and then clearing it. I have another OBD2 tool that is much better at diagnostics, and that one comes with live support. The MX+ and my other OBD2 adapter are definitely not duplicates. Each does something different, and this MX+ does exactly what I was looking for, despite my complaint about the inadequacies of their software.
The MX+ also allows you to use 3rd party software, and I might try that to figure out which PIDS are operating.
The hardware and software package are a tad expensive, and the value of these will be determined by the support I get from the manufacturer. Reading codes, clearing codes, big deal. Every adapter I know of, including $20 adapters can do that. What makes this more expensive is:
A) Performance of adapter. It's fast and goes to sleep automatically when the vehicle is off. It also prevents nearby users from connecting to the MX+ when unauthorized.
B) Extensive PID support.
C) Ability to program ECU.
D) Included full-featured software.
E) Ability to use 3rd party software.
F) Comes with a snazzy little carrying case. I don't care about such a case, but I read reviews where others complained they didn't get one. I don't need one. The MX+ is dedicated to a single vehicle.
If you just want simple functionality, the MX+ is probably overkill. It is not overkill for me. I just wish it was 25% cheaper.
