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

OBDLink LX Bluetooth Adapter – Delivered July 12This thing is fast and reliable. Works flawlessly with Torque and Motoscan. Way better than generic Bluetooth dongles. Stays connected and gives solid data. Worth every penny.

This is very easy to use. It is compatible with many obd reader apps - but i find it works best with OBDLink's app. I had to pay $15 extra on the app for enhanced "PIDs". It seems very accurate and best of all - you can see engine oil and transmission oil temps that you wouldn't otherwise know! I used it to pull a code on my truck saying I needed a new Camshaft Position Sensor. This reader is definitely worth the $90 they ask!

I’ve been using it to clear the maintenance icon on a 700GS with Motoscan. It works well.

At 1st I thought it was a piece of crap, but after I got into it and having to spend additional $16 for Toyota it worked pretty good.Pros:- Easily linked up to my phone.- Nice customizable displays.- Fast display updates.- Didn't drain my battery after 4 days of not running the engine.Cons:- Pissed me off I had to buy additional SW to make this work. So I have 3 trucks that's additional $48 to have this work for all 3 trucks. I need to say it did provide some generic obd ll points without buying vehicle spacific SW.- No live data (other than displays you build) , BUT after you drive or run your car it comes up with a nice report that you can print. The report is from your display screens. The report is too big to nicely read from your phone.Overall I gave it a 4-star because I had to spend more $$$ to get the information I needed. I also didn't like not being able to stream live data without building display screens. Display screens (2 or 3 pages) are fast updating but the more screens you build the slower the updates.Diagnostic ability is questionable. My displays are showing my Cat is running 100/200 degrees colder on the discharge. That is telling me my O2s or Cat has got problems. Diagnostic should not have passed the test... I will have to call them up and ask why?

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.

Works awesome on my BMW K1600gtl

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
