OBDLink LX Bluetooth Interface
The OBDLink LX is a Bluetooth OBD-II adapter that turns your smartphone, tablet or laptop, into an advanced diagnostic scan tool, trip logging, and real-time performance monitor. The LX offers unmatched performance, processing speed up to 4x faster than other Bluetooth OBD2 interfaces. Because of these ultra fast response times, you get more accurate measurements and more detail in the graphs and virtual gauges. In short, a versatile scanning tool, supplied with OBDWiz and Scantool software. Also, this interface is compatible with other apps and programs, due to backwards compatibility with the ELM327 instruction set. Please note that this product does not work with Apple products such as iPhone or iPad. For this you need an MX+ variant. The OBDLink LX is suitable for use with the app Motoscan, for reading BMW motorcycles. This also requires the BMW ICOM D adapter cable, which can be found at the bottom of the page.

The OBDLink LX is a conveniently priced and compact bluetooth OBD-II adapter for all OBD2 compatible vehicles and BMW motorcycles (excluding some hybrid and electric vehicles). The adapter can be used as a diagnostic device, trip logger, data logger and real time data monitor with dashboard functions. The OBDLink LX can process data much faster than competing models, allowing up to 300% more data to be processed per second. The BatterySaver (battery saving) technology, allows you to keep the adapter plugged in at all times, without draining the car battery. Please note that this product does not work with Apple products such as iPhone or iPad. For this you need an MX+ variant.
Security and OBD2 Software
Unlike regular bluetooth OBD interfaces, which constantly broadcast their presence via the bluetooth signal, and use an easy to guess 4 digit pin code, the OBD Link LX uses a unique security technique, consisting of multiple layers. This technique ensures that unauthorized users, cannot access the device and thus the data of your vehicle. The OBDLink LX supports the standard ELM327 instruction set, making it compatible with virtually all third-party (mobile) apps and software.
With the OBDLink LX bluetooth adapter, the full version of the OBDWiz software is included, as well as the OBDLink app for Android, but also works excellently with other software/apps, such as: DashCommand, OBD Doctor, ScanMaster, Torque, Motoscan etc. With the app and software you can do the following.
Applications:
- Turning off the car's engine trouble light
- Reading and erasing error codes (both generic and manufacturer specific)
- Access to Freeze Frame information
- Insight and graphs related to 90+ real time parameters
- Creation of own digital (real time) dashboards

- And much more!

Reviews
Write your reviewAfter much searching I could not find the answer, but this appears to be due to the fact that there is hardly any support for my car even though my car is still relatively young. The fact that the manufacturer has stopped building these cars means that there is virtually nowhere to go if you want information about your vehicle. Fortunately, OBD department store was able to help me and I expect that I can now read out useful information with this dongle.
23-10-2024Works very well on my RT 1200 LC
21-10-2024Meets my expectations, and contains much more.
17-10-2024OBDLink LX meets the expectations as described by the supplier in conjunction with motoscan app you have a professional scanner for little money.
06-08-2024Does what I expect from it. Works well with the moto scan app.
02-07-2024Fine thing, works well with bmw
07-06-2024i was Surprised, fast from NL, The OBDLink LX worked on my Bike and i could remove all logs and reset the Sevice Logs. With MotoScan a Good match up. Lets see what i can do on Other Bikes. Thanks. FN.
06-06-2024great product. easy to order. fast delivery

18-08-2023BMW motorfiets canbus compliant
02-05-2023Easy to reset error messages yourself after doing your own maintenance. Further readout after configuring settings also works top
23-11-2022Works great on my Triumph thruxton 1200r
26-08-2022Great product, would be helpful though if a good Motoscan software manual could be supplied and an installation aid. Know this is not a supply from OBD Department store but would have been easy
22-08-2022Do what we have to do, you can read everything via bluetooth
16-08-2022Does what it is supposed to do, however, not all the info I was looking for and what I bought this link for (DPF trigger) shows up on my dashboard. However, this may also be due to my vehicle's software.
11-07-2022Works as it should is highly recommended I use this with motoscan for BMW r1200rt from 2009
26-05-2022Works well with my BMW R1200GS. Fast in and affordable.
13-04-2022Does what it needs to do and easy to operate
04-04-2022Compatible with my software and bluetooth
21-03-2022This product works flawlessly and very accurate. Previously had the Icarsoft i610 wifi obd2 scanner which too often had no connection. You then had to either remove and replace the obd2 scanner or turn your wifi off and on again. Very annoying. Fortunately it broke down and I could exchange it for the OBDLink LX Bluetooth scanner. Super thing that hasn't made a stitch yet.
16-03-2022Works as expected,ease of use
27-01-2022Interface seems to be doing well so far so no complaints
14-01-2022Does what it is designed to do. Bluetooth works well and fast. Compatiebel with fiat panda 141
10-01-2022it works well but does not connect mat every phone , you need a paid app to fully work with it and this is not mentioned in the ad or product description
13-12-2021Unfortunately, I have not been able to use the product because the software ( external party) was not available.
02-12-2021The product does what it is supposed to do
13-09-2021Works perfectly on my gs 1200 and already tried on other models highly recommended
23-08-2021Safe and well functioning product. The product-specific software is clear, but does require initial setup of all the parameters.... If you really want everything, you should take the MX version....
20-08-2021Obdlink works very well. Bluetooth is sometimes tricky. be careful that 1 device can be paired.
06-08-2021It works great with MOTSCAN App

04-02-2021I have yet to experience it. Haven't used it yet.

23-11-2020Easy and clear to use.
16-11-2020Good support for ev's. For Hyundai ioniq ev, among others.
05-11-2020I have not been able to try it yet. Was purchased mainly for being able to reset the service interval. Realized afterwards that from the documentation it is not really clear if that is possible with this dongle.
28-10-2020It does what is promised, read and clear error codes, engine light goes off. Data logging is also interesting but I have yet to figure out how that works. And oh yeah, it's fast.
20-10-2020Works on triumph street triple 675 rx 2015
16-10-2020Product is as described fine product
05-10-2020For what I want to do with it, this version running on bluetooth is sufficient.
11-09-2020Fast communication with Android devices, not for IOS

23-07-2020Works perfectly on the 2012 BMW R1200RT.
06-07-2020Owned for almost a week. Does what it is supposed to do. Free software included for PC and phone. So far I have been able to read and reset codes with it. The adapter also works with Bimmercode and Bimmerlink so it is very handy for BMW drivers but of course also usable with all other brands.
01-07-2020Very practical to install, and assurance of a good product
29-06-2020Product works fine, the manual could be more comprehensive and clearer from me.

04-05-2020Does, what it promises. Easily installed.
20-04-2020OBDLink LX is easy to use with cell phone. Together with a brand specific android app, it is very easy to write maintenance intervals into the on-board computer of my motorcycle. A must for those who do not want to depend on their dealer for periodic maintenance.
16-04-2020Plug and play, nice and fast communication with the app.
23-03-2020Only suitable for android but works fine. For apple another adapter is available.

22-01-2020I have only owned the device for 1 week, connecting and connecting was done in 1 minute, works with several apps. you can get a lot more information out of the car with this OBDLinkLX .
20-01-2020Very good device works perfectly,could have done just a little bit more. Do not find all the faults in my car
07-01-2020Works super with the Android App Motoscan (BMW motorcycles)
13-12-2019Excellent value for money. Simple and reliable Plug&Play system. An A-product for a B-product price!
10-12-2019I bought this dongle for a Kia EV. Works perfectly.
25-11-2019Pretty pricey but works and easy to operate.
25-11-2019Easy to install, provides additional insight into engine parameters when searching faults
01-11-2019Does what I want it to do, sometimes bluetooth activation is needed manually (have latest software installed)
09-10-2019It works better than my old much cheaper chinese clone
07-10-2019Please note that not all cars have all the functions available, which are in the app otherwise works very quickly and clearly
30-09-2019Worked as intended. I wanted more monitors like ABS, unfortunately not this OBD. Perfect for the engine.
23-09-2019Unfortunately I was already back at work, had hoped to receive it on the previous Friday but unfortunately the mail was not so fast, although it was offered in a timely manner, OBD is not to blame in this.
19-09-2019Installation ran messy due to outdated manual in package. After visiting site problem free and fast. Good info on error code and info from motor.
18-09-2019It works fine for now. I can read a lot of things, but also a few things not. Something like oil temperature is indicated but the value remains 0. That will be up to my car but I found that strange. I{I bought it for the engine malfunctions but I haven't had any so far.
17-09-2019connection not always stabile. Also, the OBDLink app is not much use. A prominent failure in the ABS was not recognized, and with the Motoscan app it was.
02-08-2019Fast connection, great ease of use, easy software for Android.
09-07-2019Unclear English about the error message you will get an overview with all the consequences for tire pressure control about the error message
24-06-2019Installation was done in 2 minutes. As well described in steps attached short manual. Immediately desired data on smartphone and many customization options. Very satisfied with it!
17-06-2019Good OBDII adapter that does what it is supposed to do. Low power consumption of only 2 mA in standby mode. Works well with the 3 Android OBD2 apps, which I use.
12-06-2019Does what it is supposed to do, easy to set up and easy to use.
07-06-2019Good quality, and a sufficient guarantee
06-06-2019Although the OBD Link has good security features to prevent improper use, it is easy and quick to install. The app not only provides useful information but also has a pleasant and customizable dashboard function. This function makes it possible to display missing information on the vehicle dashboard.
31-05-2019OBDLINK LX purchased for reading and servicing my BMW R1200GS BJ2011 with this OBD good to do. simple and easy
23-05-2019Works fine, fast and clear, easy to install
20-05-2019Easy to use, plug and play just don't forget to press the connect button
13-05-2019It is a very fine product it works excellent
08-04-2019Good product. Does what you expect it to do. And also of a good quality
25-02-2019Good quality and a specific app that works well; highly recommended
31-01-2019user-friendly,and easy to understand
30-01-2019Very easy to use, quick access to usage via my android phone, statistics that cannot be seen without ODB2. Pending and Confirmed error code, freeze, etc.. Reset of error codes. Some extra features, but not very spectacular. No specific modifications possible on my car unfortunately....
07-01-2019The best OBD! Works great with different vehicles and apps
06-12-2018Very satisfied with the product delivered.
03-12-2018Works perfectly! Also handy that it starts up automatically and goes into sleep mode. So you can just leave it on if you use it as an extension for the dashboard. Also nice that it is hackproof, although I wonder if this is really necessary.
10-10-2018snelle interface met Bluetooth
21-09-2018Quick to connect. Instantly recognizes error code. Does what it promises.
10-07-2018Difficult to conclude what the problem is if the car itself does not report a fault code but the engine does not run well. So many numbers but no indication of the correct range of the indicated values. Maybe I should go to the garage.
02-07-2018Good product as described, but pricey.
01-06-2018It works as described and provides the desired information
25-05-2018Did it in 1 x, nice app with mega options.
30-04-2018Didn't work, on my 1999 Subaru forstere.
19-03-2018This product can be left in the car's OBD2 connector: after 10 minutes, the OBDLink LX switches itself into a sleep state that ensures you can still drive away after three days of inactivity.
01-03-2018Great product, exceeds expectations!
18-12-2017perfect, does what it needs to do, only works a little less on some vehicles ;)
13-11-2017The OBD link lx bluetooth is a nice little gadget and it does indeed do exactly what the description says. I have read my bus and my car. Erased error messages from my car and was able to fix a small defect myself. This was the best spent 90EUR ever.
23-08-2017very easy to use and very comprehensive information.... bmw readout no problem
24-07-2017functions properly fine!
24-07-2017Works excellently. Knows all protocols and is very fast in data processing
20-07-2017Exactly what I was looking for. Works perfectly. Good manual
07-07-2017Good manual on how to install the product
19-04-2017Good information own app and possibility for contact with other app and fast
11-03-2017
