User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work on a ford 2020 roush supercharged f

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this work with Torque app on an android os tablet. and 2017 subaru wrx
Answer:	No, this ELM 327 is connected to the PC instead of the phone. We have the software inside the disc. and it cannot work for your 2017 subaru wrx. Thanks.
Question:	Does this cover the wheel sensors
Answer:	Generally not. The elm chip set is meant to be used on engine signals. Standard obdii does not cover wheel speed because this usually comes from the abs module.
Question:	Does this work with Forscan
Answer:	False, YES IT DOES WORK VERY WELL WITH FORSCAN. BEWARE OF THE DISK IT COMES WITH FOR IT IS BOOTLEG WITH A KEY GENERATOR!!!!!
Question:	Will this work with a 1995 GMC
Answer:	Without knowing more specifics of your vehicle the answer is "I don't know". This scanner is for OBD2 ports, If you have this port then yes it would work. If you do not then no it will not. Call a local GMC dealership and give them the VIN number they can tell you if you have this port or not. I am guessing on your 1995 it is not OBD2.

Personalized Customization for Your Car

What equipment do I need?

There are just 3 things you need in order to update these settings:

OBD-II adapter

Laptop running Microsoft Windows

Free FORScan software

Disable Daytime Running Lights

Add DRL option to the dashboard

Disable Double Honk Horn

It's not cool to wake up a sleeping baby!

Auto-Fold Mirrors

It helps if you've parked in a small parking space. Also, it's a great way to know at a glance if the truck is locked or not

Bambi Mode

Off-road driving in the dark, sometimes you just want as much light as possible, including fog lights to illuminate the sides of the trail

Show Engine & Transmission Temperatures

With this FORScan hack, you can see the numerical temperatures for the Engine coolant and transmission above the gauges .

With this hack, the dashboard will show the actual numerical temperature above each of the gauges. This only works on the 8" digital dashboard clusters.

Enable the OEM Trailer Brake Controller

After you install the new trailer brake controller into the dash, you need to program and activate the Ipc using ford FORScan instead of taking your truck to the dealer

Is it safe?

Yes, if done properly. But modifying settings via the OBD-II port needs to be done very carefully - making mistakes can potentially cause damage to the vehicle.

So please take caution to backup the cars configuration with the software in the event something doesn't work as planned and check numbers three times before making changes

What’s more?

Read and erase fault codes

It’s good to use it when buying a used car because a lot of people don’t tell you the real problems of the cars

Engine, gearbox, ABS, Airbag, climate control etc, gives you the complete set of diagnostics on a wide range of manufacturers

OBDLink MX+, Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner and Vehicle Performance Monitor

This pocket-size adapter won't obstruct driver legroom and features unmatched performance, intelligent sleep mode, hacker-proof security, exceptional third party app support, and free lifetime firmware and software updates.

The free OBDLink app offers outstanding features that makes it easy to access, graph, log and export real-time engine data. Plus, your car's data can be directly downloaded or instantaneously uploaded and shared with others using DropBox.

OBDLink MX+ provides wireless connectivity for all OBD-II protocols, plus advanced automotive networks commonly used in many late-model GM, Ford, Mazda, Nissan and Toyota vehicles. For supported GM models, you can control windows, door locks, and even remotely start your engine with the 3rd-party obdCANex Android app.

More Coverage

OBDLink MX+ works with all 1996 and newer cars and light trucks sold in the United States (except hybrid or electric vehicles). The OBDLink proprietary connection algorithm enables MX+ to connect to more makes and models than any other scan tool. It also supports EOBD, JOBD, and all other international variants of OBD-II. Read and clear codes on all OBD-compliant vehicles, NO EXCEPTIONS.

More Features

OBDLink MX+'s functionality is limited only by the imagination of the programmers that write the apps. Apps that exist on the market today, can be used to:

• Measure and display fuel economy
• Remote start your car (on select vehicles)
• Create a digital dashboard or a heads-up display
• Buy a used car with confidence
• Lock/unlock doors (on select vehicles)
• Clear the ‘Check Engine’ light, and investigate its cause
• Display, graph, and log hundreds of real-time parameters

More Secure

Unlike other OBD adapters, MX+ does not use an easy-to-guess PIN and requires physical access for the initial pairing. It doesn't broadcast its presence and employs strong encryption — sensible precautions to keep hackers out of your vehicle's network.

More Apps

OBDLink MX+ works with dozens of popular third-party apps like Torque, Dash, FORScan, DashCommand, obdCANex and Harry's Lap Timer to unlock enhanced performance, save fuel, change vehicle settings and even control door locks and remotely start the engine on select vehicles.

Note: many apps are currently available exclusively on Android; check with app provider to confirm compatibility.

More Data

OBDLink MX+ supports GM-LAN and Ford-MSC proprietary vehicle networks that provide access to thousands of additional parameters that are off-limits to all other wireless OBD scanners, including BlueDriver and FIXD.

With third party apps, you can enable convenience features (including remote start and door lock/unlock) and change configuration on select models.

More Reliable

When you turn off your engine, OBDLink MX+ goes to sleep and won't drain your automobile's battery. Its sophisticated triggers will wake up MX+ when you connect via Bluetooth, unlock doors, or crank the engine.

MX+ includes overvoltage/load dump protection, a feature critical for any OBD device that is designed to be powered from the vehicle's 12-volt system.
