OBDLink MX Wi-Fi is like a swiss army knife for your car! With the OBDLink app, you can use it as a diagnostic scan tool, trip computer, logger, and real-time performance monitor. This pocket-sized adapter won't obstruct your legroom and features unparalleled performance, intelligent sleep mode, strong Wi-Fi security, exceptional third party app support, free lifetime firmware and software updates, and a modest price tag.
Maximum Vehicle Coverage
OBDLink MX works with all 1996 and newer cars & light trucks sold in the United States (except hybrid or electric vehicles). It also supports EOBD, JOBD, and all other international variants of OBD-II. The OBDLink proprietary connection algorithm enables MX Wi-Fi to connect to more makes & models than any other scan tool.
OBDLink MX is the only OBD adapter that gives you the flexibility to easily connect directly to your iPhone or iPad, or to an existing Wi-Fi network. Connect to your home Wi-Fi network, a Wi-Fi enabled vehicle, or practically any device with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. MX even supports WPS mode, making it easy to securely connect MX with a WPS-enabled router; all you have to do is press two buttons and youâre connected!
MX Wi-Fi features WPA2 with AES encryption, a sensible precaution to keep hackers from accessing your car's network. Unlike generic Wi-Fi adapters, MX Wi-Fi does not use an easy-to-guess password, or display the password publicly to protect the communication link. A potential hacker would require knowledge of the unique WiFi Key, in order to connect to it.
Your OBDLink MX purchase also includes the free, exclusive OBDLink app for iOS. The OBDLink app is packed with outstanding features that make it easy to access, graph, log and export real-time engine data. You can also clear the 'Check Engine Light,' read all diagnostic trouble codes and research them online, check emissions test readiness, and calculate instantaneous and average MPG. You can also log and export driving data collected by the app. Want more gauges? Create a custom live dashboard directly on your phone or tablet! MX is 100% compatible with the ELM327 command set, which lets you use popular 3rd party apps like Dash and DashCommand. OBDLink MX also includes the free OBDwiz diagnostics software for Windows PCs, laptops, and netbooks.
Read more View largerWhile OBD adapters come in many shapes and sizes, most of them (apart from OBDLink) are based on the ELM327 chip from Elm Electronics. Nobody owns the ELM327 trademark, so the devices carrying this label may be manufactured by any one of the dozens of small Chinese factories. As a result, there is a wide variance in design and build quality.
More importantly, there are significant functional differences. While both devices are compatible with software and apps written for the ELM327, only OBDLink MX Wi-Fi has overvoltage protection, which keeps it from catching on fire during a load dump condition. It automatically goes to sleep when not in use, saving you the trouble of dealing with a dead car battery. Having been engineered to provide exceptional data throughput, it accelerates apps by up to 250% and PC software by up to 300%. Experience faster screen updates and more graph points â an important feature, if you wish to graph multiple parameters or display a virtual dashboard.
OBDLink MX ships in a nice retail box, with a 3-year warranty, and lifetime software and firmware upgrades. In summary, OBDLink provides the absolute best value for your money.
