The OBDLink LX Bluetooth scan tool stands out as a user-friendly, budget-conscious, and highly secure Bluetooth OBD adapter. It seamlessly transforms your smartphone, tablet, or PC into a powerful diagnostic scan tool, a detailed trip computer, and a real-time performance monitor for your vehicle.
Setting up the OBDLink LX Bluetooth is remarkably simple and quick. The device, designed with ergonomics in mind and compact in size, is packaged for easy opening and typically installs in just about 3 minutes. Security is a key feature: a button located on the back ensures a secure connection process. Unlike many OBD adapters, the OBDLink LX Bluetooth doesn’t broadcast its presence and avoids using easily guessed PINs, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Potential hackers would need physical access to the device to establish a connection, adding a crucial layer of security.
This OBD adapter is universally compatible, supporting all mandated OBD-II protocols. It works effectively with all car and light truck models from 1996 onwards sold in the United States. Its compatibility extends globally, supporting EOBD, JOBD, and all international OBD-II variations, making it a truly versatile tool for vehicle diagnostics worldwide.
Building upon the success of the OBDLink MX series, the OBDLink LX Bluetooth offers exceptional performance at a competitive price. It delivers data sampling up to 4 times faster than comparable tools, providing highly accurate and detailed graphs and fluid, realistic virtual gauges for performance monitoring. For users requiring access to proprietary Ford & GM vehicle networks (MS-CAN and SW-CAN) in addition to standard OBD-II protocols, the OBDLink MX+ is recommended as an alternative.
The OBDLink LX Bluetooth is engineered for broad vehicle compatibility. It is guaranteed to function with all 1996 and newer cars and light trucks sold in the U.S., encompassing vehicles from American, European, and Asian manufacturers. For those outside the U.S., most newer vehicles produced internationally also adhere to OBD-II standards, ensuring wide-ranging compatibility for users globally. You can easily verify compatibility for non-U.S. vehicles through the OBDLink vehicle compatibility checker, ensuring peace of mind and seamless operation.
