OBDLink MX+ Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner
The pro-grade Bluetooth scan tool with secure pairing and Ford/GM deep access: the OBDLink MX+ is what serious DIY mechanics and shops use.
Our Verdict
A secure Bluetooth OBD-II adapter supporting all legislated protocols plus Ford MS-CAN and GM SW-CAN, with BatterySaver low-power mode and a 3-year warranty.
What We Like
- Secure Bluetooth — does not broadcast when parked
- Supports FORScan, OBDwiz, Torque and more
- Reads and clears ABS/SRS/airbag codes on many cars
- BatterySaver prevents dead battery
- 3-year warranty + 180-day money-back
Worth Knowing
- $140 price is steep vs basic dongles
- iOS needs Wi-Fi model for some apps
- Advanced features need paid apps
- Not a full professional tablet
Who Is This For?
Enthusiast DIYers, fleet owners and anyone who wants dealer-level diagnostics on a phone.
The Full Picture
Cheap ELM327 dongles drop connections and stay discoverable; the MX+ pairs with a physical button and sleeps when the car sleeps. FORScan users get module programming and bidirectional tests. It pays for itself the first time it reads an ABS or airbag code.
Bottom Line
The Bluetooth OBD2 scanner worth the upgrade — secure, deep and built to last.
