Maximum Vehicle Coverage

Additionaly, you'll get the free OBDwiz diagnostics software for Windows PCs and laptops.

Exceptional Security Protection

OBDLink LX Bluetooth utilizes secure 128-bit data encryption, a sensible precaution to keep hackers from accessing your car's network. Unlike generic adapters, LX Bluetooth does not use an easy-to-guess PIN ('1234' or '0000'), or display the PIN publicly, protecting the communication link.

BatterySaver Technology

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

Connects To More 3rd Party Apps

Allows you to use popular third party apps like Torque, DashCommand, and Dash to unlock enhanced performance, cost savings, and social driving.

Unmatched Performance

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

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

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

2) LX 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, LX accelerates apps by up to 250% and PC software by up to 300%. Experience faster screen updates and more graph points.

4) Unlike the generic ELM327 adapters, LX Bluetooth uses strong encryption and neither broadcasts its presence, nor uses an easy-to-guess PIN to protect the communication link.

OBDLink LX comes with a 3-year warranty and lifetime software and firmware upgrades.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    After a lot of research, I purchased the OBD LX to support my desire to monitor engine telemetry for my new diesel F350. Many of the solutions I looked at were over $400. At $70 (plus an additional $80 for the tablet (see below)), I thought it was worth a shot. I was right. I originally intended to use my phone to display engine parameters but decided that I wanted more screen space to make add more gauges and make them more readable at a glance so I bought a cheap Android tablet. The OBD link plugs into your OBD port (available on most modern vehicles). It uses BlueTooth to connect to the display device. I am using the companion OBDLink software (free download from the PlayStore) to develop the 'dashboards' of gauges I want to monitor. Installation was quick and easy. Connecting to the device was seamless using the very well written quick start guide. I was able to quickly figure out how to select gauges to monitor the engine PIDs of interest. I mounted the tablet using an adjustable magnetic phone mount. In the pictures the tablet is quite a bit higher than its normal driving position (to allow for a good camera angle). In use it is out of my line of sight. My wife is quite a bit shorter than me so she will remove it and put it in the console when she drives the truck. The set up is mainly to monitor the engine while the truck is towing our RV. So far I am very happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone who wants to monitor vehicle performance (it can also be used to identify and clear check engine codes but I have not done that yet) . I will add an update after using a few times for towing. I did have one issue which resulted in the four star rating instead of five. The first unit I purchased, stopped working after a few days and would no longer connect to my tablet. I contacted Amazon and the representative immediately issued an RMA and sent me a new product which arrived within two days. The replacement has been working flawlessly. I was very pleased with this customer service.

    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 labor
    Vehicle Two - Total cost of repair $54 - 3 hours of labor

    Total 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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fast Data Rate but Might Not be Quite Fast Enough

    I am running this on a Tesla Model 3 with the Ryzen chip and it seems quite responsive but I have noticed that out of every hour or so of driving it becomes unresponsive and my phone re-initializes the connection. My phone is an S23 Ultra running ScanMyTesla and I am using the OHP harness adapter so the setup is nothing unusual and I am left to believe this is the fault of something being possibly overloaded in the OBDLink itself. I may attempt support if this continues and will update if something changes. Firmware on the OBDLink is up to date as of writing.

    There does not seem to be any additional drain while parked and the adapter does appear to go entirely to sleep after a bit since there are no lights on the scanner before I wake the car which is good.

    In het begin lijkt het heel wat, maar uiteindelijk zie je niet veel meer dan een paar functies, zoals brandstofverbruik, power en torque. Storingsmeldingen ziet ie niet. Het is dus absoluut niet een deugdelijke tool om de auto te monitoren, uit te lezen en wat dies meer zij. Eigenlijk is het speelgoed. Jammer.

    Ero alla ricerca di un lettore OBD che oltre ad essere strumento di diagnostica per auto mi poteva permettere di avere sotto mano, attraverso varie applicazioni tra cui Hybrid Assistant, tutte le informazioni di funzionamento della mia Toyota CHR.
    Dopo aver valutato e provato altri lettori, mi sono convinto dell'acquisto di questo prodotto.
    Un particolare che avrete notato tutti: OBDLink LX costa parecchi euro rispetto agli altri, ma, a mio avviso, li potrebbe valere tutti e vi spiego anche il perché.
    Iniziamo con il descrive le caratteristiche principali: OBDlink è uno scanner diagnostico che viene inserito nel connettore OBD-II di un veicolo compatibile. Tramite una connessione Bluetooth trasforma lo smartphone, tablet o PC in un sistema di monitoraggio in tempo reale delle performances del motore.
    Per fare il pairing con il nostro dispositivo portatile basta connettere OBDlink al connettore OBD e premere il pulsantino. Solo in questo momento sarà rilevabile dallo smartphone senza necessità di inserire un pin. Questa procedura rende OBDlink particolarmente sicuro e a prova di hacker.
    E’ compatibile con il diffusissimo standard OBD-II, praticamente lo standard di quasi tutti gli autoveicoli degli ultimi venti anni. Supporta anche il protocollo EOBD, JOBD e altre varianti di OBD-II.
    Il primo mio timore era che, lasciandolo sempre collegato potesse, scaricare la batteria del veicolo. Mi sono subito tranquillizzato poichè OBDlink appena è fuori dalla portata del Bluetooth dello smartphone si mette automaticamente in sleep mode. Al contrario si attiverà appena tornerà nel raggio di azione del Bluetooth. E non solo, si spegne non appena si spegne il veicolo e si riattiva ad ogni accensione del motore. Ed io, così, lo lascio sempre inserito, senza aver riscontrato alcun problema.
    Per la diagnostica dell'autovettura, viene fornita un'app gratuita - solo per android - ben fatta, senza pubblicità, e che consente di leggere i codici di errore diagnostici, leggere tutti i dati di funzionamento dell'auto (circa 90 parametri) e tanto altro.
    Infine, completa e perfetta è la funzionalità con Hybrid Assistant, app che permette con facilità l’accesso alle informazioni più importanti riguardanti il funzionamento della mia Toyota CHR. Le tante informazioni fornite, aiutano a comprendere il funzionamento del veicolo ibrido, e mi stanno aiutando a perfezionare la guida e a ridurre sensibilmente il consumo di carburante. Cosa importante, trasmette tutti i dati in modo istantaneo risultando di gran lunga migliore e affidabile di altri lettori da 15/20 € da me in precedenza testato e che avevano, tra i principali difetti, una latenza imbarazzante nella comunicazione dei dati. La velocità e l'accuratezza nell'inviare i dati permettono cosi di ottenere un indicatore virtuale fluido e realistico con grafici dettagliati.
    In conclusione, il costo è elevato, se rapportato alla concorrenza cinese, ma se volete un prodotto affidabile, veloce, qualitativamente valido e sicuro, compatibile con tutte le maggiori app disponibili e che offre la piena compatibilità con Hybrid Assistant, allora questo è il miglior acquisto che possiate fare.
    Spero che la mia esperienza sia stata per voi utile.
