The OBDLink LX is a Bluetooth OBD-II adapter that turns your smartphone, tablet or laptop into an advanced diagnostic scan tool, trip registration, and real-time performance monitor. The LX offers unparalleled performance, processing speed is up to 4x faster than other Bluetooth OBD2 interfaces.
Because of these ultra-fast response times, you get more accurate measurements and more details in the graphs and virtual meters. In short, a versatile scan tool, supplied with OBDWiz and Scantool software. This interface is also compatible with other apps and programs, due to backwards compatibility with the ELM327 instruction set.
