Review: Well worth the price - I've had a few different OBD-II scanners over the last few years. First I tried a wired Actron CP9125 PocketScan Code Reader I picked up from an auto parts store. While it worked, it was a little too basic for my needs and it was difficult to navigate with only two buttons. I bought a PLX Devices Kiwi Bluetooth Wireless Trip Computer and OBDII Scanner , which is much nicer, but I stopped using it both because they seem to have abandoned support after IOS 7, and because it developed serious problems maintaining a wifi link (a common problem in their forums). Considering the price, I was very very disappointed with it. But since I work on cars for fun (both my own and friends), I wanted a reliable scanner. So, here we are. I purchased the ScanTool 426101 OBDLink MX Bluetooth OBD-II scanner a few months ago, and have been very happy. I feel like it's lived up to my expectations, so it was worth the money to me. If you haven't spent much time looking at OBD-II scanners, please keep in mind this model (426101) only works with Android. Apple devices won't work with this scanner because Apple limits access to bluetooth (probably licensing?) so it won't connect. You'll need an android phone or tablet to use this device. It works with Windows too. From what I've read, the iPhone/IOS compatible ScanTool Wifi device is NOT reliable (as of this writing) and I wouldn't recommend it. But this model (426101) gets consistently good reviews for reliability, and my experience matches that. This scanner isn't cheap, but it's complete. It offers basic OBD-II functionality, plus access to SW-CAN and MS-CAN bus information. This means it can give you a lot more state information about various systems on your car, if your car supports it. If you google "SW-CAN MS-CAN ELM327 FORSCAN" you can build a device with similar functionality for probably half the cost of this item. So why would you buy this item instead of doing it yourself? a. Time. It will take at least an hour to disassemble the knockoff product, solder on a switch/wires, and reassemble. If there's a mistake, do it all over again. b. Reliability. If the cheaper product blows up or wears out, they're not going to send me a new one. c. You'll have to flip a toggle switch on each read to get all the data. Not a big deal, but it's still an issue. d. Support/Software. This comes with free software that's actually pretty good. But their software verifies you're using their hardware, so you can't use it with a knockoff product. The last reason, which is less important, but still worth mentioning, is that this particular device is faster than everything else I've used. I connects quickly, and it updates data quickly. This scanner also works with Torque and Dash Command without issues. According to their forums, it also works with FORSCAN (some amazing looking and free diagnostic software for Ford vehicles) but I haven't tried it yet. I presume it works with other software without problems, but those are the two I own, they're popular, and they work well. The only question for me at this point is, will it be reliable? I thought the PLX was a pretty awesome device for $100 and I hoped to use it for 10+ years, but it died pretty quickly so it was wasted money. If this ScanTool device lasts for a while, I'll be really really happy with it. If I see any issues I'll come back and update this review. Review: One of the pricier ones, but worth every penny! Auto-shutoff alone is worth the price. - There's plenty of OBD to Bluetooth adapters out there. You can pick up the cheapies for $20-30. So how does ScanTool get away with charging 5x as much for this one? Quality and support. If you're looking for a quick one-off to clear the Check Engine light before dragging your jalopy in for the state vehicle inspections, this isn't the device for you. Go ahead and read the reviews on the cheapie adapters. Pay attention to how long people have had them. You'll find the cheap adapters have major manufacturing quality issues, so short lifespans and incompatibilities are the norm. However, if you're wanting to keep tabs on your car and want accurate data, this IS the device for you. For about the same price as your dealer will charge to run a diagnostic on your car, you can get this little gadget which can do the same thing. This adapter has the fastest response times and supports the largest amount of data out of any of the OBD/Bluetooth adapters. If you're using a program like Torque, you'll want the extra data capacity/speed, as each gauge you add to Torque uses more bandwidth. My favorite feature by far is the auto shutoff, and this adapter is the only one I'm aware of which has it. I leave it plugged in 24/7 in my car and it automatically shuts off after I turn off the car and comes right back on when I start the engine. It pairs nicely with my Motorola Droid Maxx, every time. Initially I bought it to investigate a Check Engine light on my girlfriend's car, which ultimately lead to the dealer repairing her car for free as there was a TSB out on that particular engine error code. I now use it in my car to keep an eye on how it's running. My car has 190,000+ miles on it, so I'm a bit careful of what I do to it. Torque announces when the engine's up to its operating temperature, so I baby the car a bit until it's fully warmed up. Supposedly ScanTool stands behind their products with a 3 year warranty and technical support. I can't comment on it since I've not had any problems with mine and it sync'd up right on the first try. I even use this with rental cars and even being in and out of multiple cars, I've never had a problem getting it to connect to OBDII and pair with my phone. It's one of those rare devices which just works as it should. ## Features - Recommended by FORScan for Android (not compatible with iOS) - Fast, reliable connection and automatic protocol switching - Works with FORScan, Carista, Torque, DashCommand, AlfaOBD, BimmerCode and dozens of other apps - Transform your Android device or Windows PC into a professional-grade diagnostic scan tool - Over-voltage and battery drain protection, firmware updates ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006NZTZLQ | | Brand | OBDLink | | Brand Name | OBDLink | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,838 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00897155000012 | | Included Components | 1 | | Item Type Name | ScanTool OBDLink MX Bluetooth: Professional Grade OBD-II Automotive Scan Tool for Windows and Android – DIY Car and Truck Data and Diagnostics | | Item Weight | 1.1 ounces | | Manufacturer | ScanTool | | Manufacturer Part Number | 426101 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 3 Year Full Manufacturer's Warranty.

SRS no. It will only reset the check engine light warnings from OBDII. Some ABS warnings are from OBD sensors. But they will come right back if the sensors are still not working. **Q: Will this work with Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1 on a laptop? Does it come with software?** A: Yes to the 8.1 laptop, don't know about the phone. Software is included for Windows as a download I believe. Bluetooth is required, I had to buy a dongle. Android Devices work well, and the Torque app is supported. **Q: does it show fuel level in real time** A: Depends on the vehicle. My 2007 Ford Focus shows real time fuel level. My 1996 Impala SS does not. **Q: will it work for a 98 ram 2500 5.9l cummins?** A: Hello Jon,Our scan tools and software should work with your vehicle as long as your vehicle is OBDII compliant. Please make sure that your vehicle is OBDII complaint.https://www.scantool.net/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=2&nav=0Best Regards,AlonzoScanTool.Net Team ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the price *by S***X on February 28, 2016* I've had a few different OBD-II scanners over the last few years.

After testing both, I hope the review below may help you. The ability to use iOS is nice, however, the OBDLink coupled with a $63 Android phablet worked better in my situation, as described below. The layout of the included OBDLink software is excellent. I can easily see many live parameters on one screen, without jumping through hoops and dozens of clicks to display them. With the Bluedriver, I was disappointed with the layout of the real time live data screen. It is nice to have the option to show the graphs on the main page along with the data, however, it was laid out in a semi-confusing manner, hard to tell at a glance which line the data referred to, with no obvious visual breaks between lines. As a mechanic, I prefer the capability to show many items at once on the page, with the field description at the left, and the data on the right. When the graphs always included, it really limits how many fields can be displayed at once. Some of the parameter descriptions were vague, and hard to identify when on the data viewing screen, although they were clearly labeled on the parameter selection screen. It was especially hard to identify which O2 data I was looking at, and which sensor it was for. Being limited to the Bluedriver software was a large reason I selected the OBDLink device. I like the functionality and layout of the ODBLink software, and open compatibility nature of their setup. There are some custom written programs that work with ELM 327 that really do much more than either OBDLink or Bluedriver by themselves, and the ability to utilize those programs, like Forscan, was huge for me. I can get access to seemingly every parameter on my 2012 F350 with the OBDLink and Forscan. Really a dizzying array of data. Since I am not set on using iOS, this OBDLink was a great solution. One thing that would make these devices even better would be bi-directional control. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/1324597-obdlink-mx-bluetooth-obd-ii-automotive-scan-tool-for-android](https://www.desertcart.no/products/1324597-obdlink-mx-bluetooth-obd-ii-automotive-scan-tool-for-android) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
