OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth is the upgraded successor to the popular OBDLink MX Bluetooth, designed to be an even more user-friendly, secure, and lightning-fast OBD adapter. This powerful tool transforms your smartphone, tablet, or laptop into a professional-grade diagnostic scan tool, trip computer, and real-time performance monitor for your vehicle.
The MX+ boasts an ergonomic and compact design, arriving in eco-friendly packaging and setting up in just minutes.

Physical access to the device is required for connection, providing unparalleled security for your vehicle’s network.
OBDLink MX+ offers exceptional vehicle compatibility, supporting all legislated OBD-II protocols and going further with advanced support for Ford and GM vehicle networks, including MS-CAN and SW-CAN. It’s compatible with all 1996 and newer cars and light trucks sold in the United States, and also supports EOBD, JOBD, and all international OBD-II variants. For users needing the most comprehensive vehicle network access, OBDLink MX+ stands out as the ideal choice.
