🔌 Ultimate OBDLink LX OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner: Ideal for Android and Windows Devices Review

I got this unit because it has the highest rating but after about 10 minutes of use I was offered to install a new firmware which I did, which resulted in an immediate " "bricking" of the scanner. The manufacturer has a user forum for general discussion only, so no direct help is available. I ended up going back and buying another one. As for the included app concerned - not too good - I had connection problems to the scanner and then connected the scanner to the controller - for a fairly…

The mechanic reset my code and said it was a false read well it was but that's because he didn't have any blown spark plugs recognized. After the purchase, I was able to get a better idea and pinpoint the source of my problems. I'm really enjoying it so far but wish there was a better way to protect it in my car. I may have to tape it at the end to get live results without falling out [maybe it's just my vehicle?]. The software is very good and the device firmware has just been updated; It's a…

I bought this almost a year ago and use it regularly on my wife's race car. The latest firmware update has turned the OBDII dongle into a useless building block. Error code 3, command timed out etc. I'm using Android 9 and have followed the OBD-Link support forum instructions to perform a firmware restore and also cleared the phone's Bluetooth cache. The device is still bricked with the same problem. Many SCCA drivers use this key with the Track Addict app. I'm not very happy with the result…

This is my second device, the first FAIL during firmware update. seconds to FACTORY RESET. Well it didn't work. What worked is: 1. DISCONNECT the (bluetooth) device from your phone. 2. Fix the device with your phone, if yes then you are lucky and go to step 3.3. Open the APP, "DO NOT TRY TO CONNECT", but go to SETTINGS.4. Since your phone CAN communicate with your device, run FIRMWARE UPDATE again.5. When finished, remove the device to turn it off and then reconnect the device.6. Make sure your

I found it a bit difficult to connect this device to my laptop after installing it in my car. You need to go to the website and read the instructions carefully. Once the device is installed, connect it to your laptop via Bluetooth and then use the software to connect via serial instead of Bluetooth. Once I got through that, everything worked great. I was able to read and reset my error codes. You can see live results and troubleshoot other issues in real time, but I haven't used it in this…

I should have said there was a problem with this product. At first it worked as described, but later I found out that my machine had a problem caused by this product. My car (Chevy Malibu 2012) had an engine light on and I took it to the shop. They made a diagnosis, changed the oil, filters, etc., they took a lot for that. However, after a short time the engine light came on again. So I had to bring my car back to them. They couldn't figure out the problem. Then I drove to another workshop. At…

I bought this scan tool to analyze 3-5 PIDs on my vehicle at the same time. I used to buy a cheap fake, but I was dissatisfied with the low PID reading speed, especially when monitoring multiple PIDs simultaneously (1 PID / sec). Scantool OBDLink LX is touted as significantly faster - the team at Torque Pro highly recommends it, claiming a data transfer rate of 100 PID/sec. You can imagine my disappointment when, after getting and testing the OBDLink LX, I only got 8 PID/sec. could reach…
