OBDLink LX Bluetooth 3.0 OBD2 Adapter for Motoscan, Torque, Hybrid Assistant (Android Only), OBD II Diagnostic Scanner

Works with both apps I needed it to work with. Mates quickly with both my phone and tablet.

Muy buena calidad

Works great on my 2011 Grand Cherokee. Was able to turn on my trailer lights (with additional software) after installing a hitch.

I was able to use this, along with a Chromebook and the MotoScan app, to reset the service interval on my R1250GS Adventure. Preventing the Bluetooth connection from dropping was a bit challenging, but I finally figured it out. The native OBDLink app is necessary to establish the BT connection, but this app is not compatible with BMW motorcycles, so it establishes the connection, tries all of its known data protocols, and then disconnects the BT when it can’t fully communicate. My solution was to let the OBDLink app open the BT connection with the device, then close the app before it disconnects the BT—then open and use the MotoScan app.Bottom line is that it worked, and paid for itself in a single use. Would have been 5 stars if OBDLink would not auto-disconnect from BT when using it with a motorcycle.

Very rarely do I rate anything 5 stars and when it comes to a tool that makes claims such as the ScanTool 427201 OBDLink LX Bluetooth OBD-II Scan Tool Interface, I am incredibly skeptical. I believe that every product needs to be represented with the utmost accuracy, leaving much to be desired from today's marketing and advertising professionals.I have two vehicles that seem to communicate with each other. Both engine light indicators came on within 3 days of each other. Conspiring, I know, and in turn I looked for a solution rather than being out one vehicle per week for three weeks and be out at least $180 in just diagnostic charges. With that said, I turned to the Interwebs for a solution. In coming across the ScanTool website, I was intrigued equally with suspicion.I must have called 4 auto stores, 3 friends that are car enthusiasts, and a bevy of other people in forums with no one ever hearing of this product. As such, I decided to conduct the test myself. I purchased the ScanTool through Amazon and it arrived the next day. Then the real test began.I removed it from the package, which was nice to see that it was modest, not overly flashy, and the tri-fold instructions. I was pleased to see that I was able to load the software to my laptop, Android tablet and phone all at no extra charge. Rounds 1 and 2 go to ScanTool. So far so good.Test one, stopwatch started. I followed the instructions to the letter and in exactly 2 minutes 10 seconds I had the OBDLink tool connected to my tablet via bluetooth and the codes reported. The software interface was very easy to read, plain to understand the code report, and to my delight, ScanTool's claims were true to their word. Round 3, ScanTool.The last test was to conduct my repairs to the vehicle and see if the codes reported were accurate and I had the ability to remove the code once the repairs were completed. It took me a day to complete the repairs, double check my work, complete driving tests and on reconnecting the device, I was pleased to see that not only were the reported codes correct, I was able to removes the codes and the engine light has remained off since, all other tests are green which tells me the original diagnostics were indeed correct.Just to check again, I conducted the exact same process with my second vehicle, which had a different problem but was still repairable by my expertise. The process ended with the same success. I did a cost analysis of what I would have paid for like repairs including the diagnostic charge for each vehicle. Since the repairs were not incredibly difficult and were easy to execute with little complexity.Vehicle One - Total cost of repair $37 - 2 hours of laborVehicle Two - Total cost of repair $54 - 3 hours of laborTotal estimated cost of both vehicles if they had been taken to dealerships to repair - $1300 and the loss of 3 days per vehicle.It's obvious to see that with a little know-how and effort on your part, the ScanTool 427201 OBDLink LX Bluetooth OBD-II Scan Tool Interface can be one of the most invaluable tools you keep in your toolbox. I am very surprise this is not more popular.K

Works perfect

I bought this OBDLink LX on10-14-21. It has a 36 months warranty. I really like this dongle. But it stopped working about a month ago and completely drained my battery. I'd like to get it replaced under warranty but I can't figure out how to do that. Can anyone help?

I have previously purchased another Bluetooth adapter for my car. I've had it for many years, but decided to go in for an upgrade. I selected this unit because the website for the app that I use on my phone, called torque, said that this was a well-rated unit and was compatible with the application. The device comes with its own software to scan your car's computer for error codes and to run Diagnostics as well as being able to monitor various sensors. However, it is compatible with other third-party applications. My old adapter used a preset 4-Digit pin for pairing. This unit does not. You will be required to install their application in order to do the initial pairing with your phone. From there, you can continue to use their application, which is Well Suited for diagnosing and logging data from your car. However, in my case after I paired the device I was able to go into the application I prefer and it had no problems retrieving data from the car's computer.
