The OBDLink LX is a compact Bluetooth 3.0 OBD-II adapter that turns Android phones and Windows PCs into fast, secure vehicle diagnostic tools for 1996+ gasoline cars and light trucks.

The OBDLink LX plugs into your vehicle’s OBD-II port and streams engine and diagnostic data wirelessly to supported apps and software.
