This is a paid review of the OBDLink MX+ Scan Tool, however all the opinions are my own. The manufacturer saw this at the same time you did! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Clear and concise.... amazing job, man.
Wow... thank you for the feedback !
Mate this was awesome. Your a great host, please post more videos
Wow! Thank you for the awesome feedback! I've been posting a new episode every week, with plenty more to come!
Thanks for a straight forward concise product review. There are way too many YT reviewers who clearly haven’t thought through what they’re going to say; they just turn on the camera and start talking!
Wow! Thank you, Jim. You made my day -Chris
Nice review. Do you like your 2019 Rogue?
I’m sold. You got me.
Ordered one from Amazon anxious to get it'
I'm surprised no one complained about the camera filming in vertical mode! Doesn't bother me either. Good review, Im torn between the EX and this one. I like the cable on the EX though this one has more features.
Hey when you download your logs
What does it mean for example
(Emod present-not set) ?
Got it' Amazing OBD Bluetooth Scanner 👍👍
Great video overall, thanks.
Do you know if this reader and app can fix the error codes when replacing stock lights with led lights?
looking at this tool on amazon I see a lot of people saying it does . I don't know personally . Im just looking in to this my self
Sold for under $80 at the time of this review, now selling for $99... just received mine and i cant wait to use it.
It's $120+ now.
@@vanteal Some are confusing MX, LX and MX+ models, though prices are also going up and up, thanks to Fed monetary policy protecting stock market value above all else. After all, legislators are all trading in the stock market.
@@tech29X Can't find it below $139 now (150+ after tax)...sigh, I want to buy one but that's a lot of money...bluedriver is $99 but it doesnt have as many features.
@@vanteal ....It's $130 now ( 5/4/2023).
It's $140 now (11/04/2023).
Please lower the music volume in the future. Other than that: Great video, thanks a lot! :)
Is there any car battery draining issue if the device keep connected to the car port continuously?
Hello - I have the OBDLink MX bluetooth unit. I forget how to do something: When I'm in the Dashboard, I want to change one of the displays, but I don't know how to do it. For example, I may want to change the MPH display to the Engine Temp display. Or I may want to fill an empty space on the Dashboard with a new display. How do I do that? Thanks
Does obdlink application work with vlinker device?
Can you use this dongle to flash the gearbox with Xhp stage 3?
Do you happen to know if it will clear the accident codes on the Air Bag Control Unit of a 2018 Honda Civic? I have bought one for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. It has worked great.
Thanks
I do not, however I'm sure you could email them or contact them through their website and they'll be able to answer your question
Does this perform any functions or just read? I need to perform an abs bleed, Tnx
Can the app code to allow a digital mph I know some other apps cans wondering about this one
I bought an "extension cord" for the reader. It plugs in under the dash, and I plug the reader into the other end. It allows me to remove and reinstall the reader easily. [it's real hard to plug the reader into my car's port]
Great idea!
@@chris I think the extension cord was about $5.00 on Amazon.
Cool
Wondering if it can handle ABS and SRS...
Nice video! No need for the pink panther background music... doesn't add any thi g but distraction. Have a nice day.
So I've been seeing OBD scanners like blue driver and OBDLinks MX+.
Are these worth it? Need bi directional abilities and I'm seeing conflicting results with those two type scanners. But they're intriguing to me
Launch CRP479? Or X6? 5 more special functions is no joke. Iam an auto tech (going on 4 yrs) and want to go to the next level (Apprentice/Journeyman)
I do work at a shop, which do you recommend of these two? I'm trying too really stay below $260 and get most for the buck
Of course I would need them to be able to read up to 2019, any recommendations would be fantastic
Hey Chris,
My brother lives in North Africa where most vehicles are French (mainly Peugeot and Renault).
Would this scanner recognize his Peugeot vehicle?
Nice review. Thank you.
Bit late for you but for anyone else, these are usually OK for resetting the check engine light and reading fault codes but the best thing for PSA cars (Peugeot, Citroën, DS) is a full chip Lexia scan tool clone and diagbox software. There's plenty of resources out there for it, they're not cheap and run on old windows. There's more expensive alternatives apparently but I've only used lexia. I also own a Obdlink LX which works fine with Citroën for rev, speed, maf, coolant readouts etc and clearing some faults. It doesn't see airbag and abs faults. My MX+ has just arrived so not sure if it sees more than the LX on PSA vehicles but it can definitely read more than the LX on Fords, GM and Mazda, especially when used with other software like Forscan
Can you see trans temp for Toyota? Need it for my Camry
Does it require a subscription fee or just the device?
But does it have live data for cyl misfires per cylinder data..?
Does this have to always stay plugged into the vehicle for it to work? Or can I set my changes and remove it?
Yes, it does.
I have the OBD Link MX+ and it's power light stays on after my car is off although it says it wont drain battery if left in. Anyone know why it stays on?
I haven't noticed mine staying on, but I also don't leave mine plugged in all the time. I can't imagine it's much of a power leech though. It's small. If you have any concerns, try contacting them directly! Thanks for watching, Nick!
Your OBD connector has a B+ connection, and the OBD Link battery light confirms, if no power the OBD Link will not work.
I have an afm disabler and with my 06 grand prix gxp its stays on when plugged in but with my 09 g8 gt it doesn't because I cant use my cigarette lighter with the car of on my 09 with the car off but can with the 06
Dose the mx+ scan the hybrid cars also?
Should go off after 2hours unless any electronic triggers it like unlocking doors are such. But All in All it's Totally Safe to Keep plugged in vehicle.
Will this work on a 1998 camaro z28?
Can it plug into my toyota vios 2004 AT? Is there any bad side effect like ecu burned?
Any vehicle manufactured since 1996 will accept OBD2 scan tools. It won't hurt your ECU.
hi guys i just purchased the obdlink mx bluetooth device for android and its running fine on my phone but i'm not able to pair it with my android car head unit , any light on this would help .
Contact their support! www.obdlink.com
Download the app on your android head unit as you did it on your phone. Mine works just fine.
Bought mine for $120 the packaging looks like an iPhone pretty excited
Any additional add on data for Chrysler?
Contact them directly for the latest info!
Yes it Now has Enhanced Diagnostics for all Chrysler Vehicles. 👍
can you do a proxy alignment with that
That's the question of the day and still hasn't been answered
no
hi ! the purchase link is dead !...
I just tried it and it worked!
@@chris oh it's just because i clicked on #sponsored beside....you should separate it ;-)
@@S3XYcars Done ;)
The "Blue Driver" is better.... The 'Mx +" has gone up in price about $50 in the last year.
can this item be use at 2017 BMW Motorbike
I'm fairly sure these are geared toward vehicles and not motorcycles
@@chris thank you for your information sir
It will drain you battery as odb2 port is always has power, no matter of your engine status.
Says it shuts off after couple mintues engine is off
Good info - but ironic a tech video from soeone who doesn't record full screen?
...yes, back when IGTV was "the up and coming" I recorded full screen, but vertically... for a few videos. Then I got the sense knocked back in me :)
4 years later it's almost double the price
Now selling for $140 on Amazon.
Dose it scan the hybrid cars also?
No. Hybrid doesn't need a scan tool.
Hlo sir i m from india i want to know this device obdlink mx+ used for odometer correction in all cars
Wow 3 years ago this was 80$ I just paid 139$ on Amazon lol
Does that mean that it's really good?
And it comes with a zipper case now.
This has less features than the bluedriver the bluedriver tells you the recalls too
You can literally just Google recalls for your vehicle though lol
Wouldve been nice if you used a car with problems as an example.
I agree, but that situation wasn't available at the time of filming
$80...this guy costs $140 now :(
