OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner for iPhone, Android, and Windows
Posted by on
The OBDLink MX+ is a unique wireless OBD adapter that transforms any iPhone, iPad, or Android device into a professional-grade diagnostic scan tool, trip computer, and real-time performance monitor capable of accessing manufacturer-specific vehicle data.
The newest addition to the OBDLink family is even faster, more reliable, and features richer than its predecessors.
It is the only wireless iOS-compatible scan tool on the market that supports the proprietary GM-LAN and Ford MS-CAN vehicle networks. This tool provides access to dozens of additional ECUs and thousands of manufacturer-specific trouble codes and parameters, including ABS, SRS, TPMS, A/C, transmission temperature, and wheel speeds.
While other solutions can display real-time data, the OBDLink MX+ is optimized for maximum throughput. It delivers up to four times more data samples per second than its closest competitor, which results in smoother gauges and graphs and allows the display of multiple parameters simultaneously.
OBDLink MX+ incorporates features not found in competing adapters that make it safe to leave plugged in, including hacker-proof wireless security, overvoltage/load dump protection, and ultra-low current sleep mode.
The MX+ offers complimentary firmware upgrades and free technical support for peace of mind.
Features
- Turn your iPhone, Android device, or Windows PC into a professional-grade diagnostic scan tool.
- This is the recommended adapter for FORScan, Torque, BimmerCode, Dashcommand, AlfaOBD, Carista, and many more.
- Enhanced OEM support for Ford, GM, Mazda, Nissan/Infinity, Toyota/Lexus/Scion, Honda, Hyundai, Kia.
- Clear Check Engine Light and get more live parameters (ABS, SRS, TPMS, etc) than any other scanner.
- Over-voltage and battery drain protection and firmware updates are included.
Teensy 4.0 OBDII CAN-Bus ECU Simulator
This is a CAN-Bus OBDII ECU simulator that uses the Teensy 4.0 module (which is included). It's designed to test the OBDII interface and write diagnostic software. The Teensy processor is included and pre-programmed with the OBDII ECU simulator firmware.
Potentiometers can be used to adjust the ECU PID parameters. This board requires a 12 VDC power supply, and a 12 VDC adapter is included. More Information...
