The hardware used makes the equipment fast and reliable. The chip used is many times faster than that of the competition and is therefore able to process and display data much faster that is supplied by the current generation of cars.

OBDLink app and OBDwiz software

The OBDLink equipment comes with a license code. The software can be downloaded and activated by means of the license code. The software for the laptop is called OBDwiz and this software has been specially developed for and by OBDLink. The app for Apple and Android devices is called OBDLink and can be found in the Play Store and App Store. OBDLink distinguishes itself by supplying a full version of the software. Competitors only supply hardware and software must be purchased through another party. In this respect, OBDLink offers a unique concept.

What are the functionalities of the OBDLink devices?

The OBDLink equipment is suitable for reading and resetting OBD2 fault codes. What exactly does this mean? In Europe, OBD2 has been made mandatory for petrol cars from year 2001 onwards and for diesel cars from year 2004 onwards. OBD2 actually means nothing else than the engine management of the cars. This means that OBDLink can read the engine codes of petrol cars from year 2001 onwards and diesel cars from year 2004 onwards and erase error codes in the engine management. A car has a large number of sensors that measure data and pass it on to the car's on-board computer. OBDLink is able to display this (live) data from the sensors.

Important to know, what can the OBDLink not do?

OBDLink, with the supplied app/software, is only able to read the engine codes, erase error codes and display live data from the engine. Therefore, keep in mind that OBDLink does not read systems such as ABS, airbags, air conditioning, transmission, etc. It is also not possible to perform service-related actions, such as setting oil/service intervals, or releasing the parking brake. It is also not possible to program, code or enable functions with the OBDLink software/app. With BMW cars this is only possible in combination with Bimmercode, with BMW motorcycles this is only possible with the Motoscan app and with Ford only with Forscan.
