4) Unlike the generic ELM327 adapters, LX Bluetooth uses strong encryption and neither broadcasts its presence, nor uses an easy-to-guess PIN to protect the communication link.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Solid Solution for Vehicle Performance Monitoring
    Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2021
    After a lot of research, I purchased the OBD LX to support my desire to monitor engine telemetry for my new diesel F350. Many of the solutions I looked at were over $400. At $70 (plus an additional $80 for the tablet (see below)), I thought it was worth a shot. I was right. I originally intended to use my phone to display engine parameters but decided that I wanted more screen space to make add more gauges and make them more readable at a glance so I bought a cheap Android tablet. The OBD link plugs into your OBD port (available on most modern vehicles). It uses BlueTooth to connect to the display device. I am using the companion OBDLink software (free download from the PlayStore) to develop the 'dashboards' of gauges I want to monitor. Installation was quick and easy. Connecting to the device was seamless using the very well written quick start guide. I was able to quickly figure out how to select gauges to monitor the engine PIDs of interest. I mounted the tablet using an adjustable magnetic phone mount. In the pictures the tablet is quite a bit higher than its normal driving position (to allow for a good camera angle). In use it is out of my line of sight. My wife is quite a bit shorter than me so she will remove it and put it in the console when she drives the truck. The set up is mainly to monitor the engine while the truck is towing our RV. So far I am very happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone who wants to monitor vehicle performance (it can also be used to identify and clear check engine codes but I have not done that yet) . I will add an update after using a few times for towing. I did have one issue which resulted in the four star rating instead of five. The first unit I purchased, stopped working after a few days and would no longer connect to my tablet. I contacted Amazon and the representative immediately issued an RMA and sent me a new product which arrived within two days. The replacement has been working flawlessly. I was very pleased with this customer service.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Prestazioni senza pari
    Reviewed in Italy on March 3, 2020
    Ero alla ricerca di un lettore OBD che oltre ad essere strumento di diagnostica per auto mi poteva permettere di avere sotto mano, attraverso varie applicazioni tra cui Hybrid Assistant, tutte le informazioni di funzionamento della mia Toyota CHR.
    Dopo aver valutato e provato altri lettori, mi sono convinto dell'acquisto di questo prodotto.
    Un particolare che avrete notato tutti: OBDLink LX costa parecchi euro rispetto agli altri, ma, a mio avviso, li potrebbe valere tutti e vi spiego anche il perché.
    Iniziamo con il descrive le caratteristiche principali: OBDlink è uno scanner diagnostico che viene inserito nel connettore OBD-II di un veicolo compatibile. Tramite una connessione Bluetooth trasforma lo smartphone, tablet o PC in un sistema di monitoraggio in tempo reale delle performances del motore.
    Per fare il pairing con il nostro dispositivo portatile basta connettere OBDlink al connettore OBD e premere il pulsantino. Solo in questo momento sarà rilevabile dallo smartphone senza necessità di inserire un pin. Questa procedura rende OBDlink particolarmente sicuro e a prova di hacker.
    E’ compatibile con il diffusissimo standard OBD-II, praticamente lo standard di quasi tutti gli autoveicoli degli ultimi venti anni. Supporta anche il protocollo EOBD, JOBD e altre varianti di OBD-II.
    Il primo mio timore era che, lasciandolo sempre collegato potesse, scaricare la batteria del veicolo. Mi sono subito tranquillizzato poichè OBDlink appena è fuori dalla portata del Bluetooth dello smartphone si mette automaticamente in sleep mode. Al contrario si attiverà appena tornerà nel raggio di azione del Bluetooth. E non solo, si spegne non appena si spegne il veicolo e si riattiva ad ogni accensione del motore. Ed io, così, lo lascio sempre inserito, senza aver riscontrato alcun problema.
    Per la diagnostica dell'autovettura, viene fornita un'app gratuita - solo per android - ben fatta, senza pubblicità, e che consente di leggere i codici di errore diagnostici, leggere tutti i dati di funzionamento dell'auto (circa 90 parametri) e tanto altro.
    Infine, completa e perfetta è la funzionalità con Hybrid Assistant, app che permette con facilità l’accesso alle informazioni più importanti riguardanti il funzionamento della mia Toyota CHR. Le tante informazioni fornite, aiutano a comprendere il funzionamento del veicolo ibrido, e mi stanno aiutando a perfezionare la guida e a ridurre sensibilmente il consumo di carburante. Cosa importante, trasmette tutti i dati in modo istantaneo risultando di gran lunga migliore e affidabile di altri lettori da 15/20 € da me in precedenza testato e che avevano, tra i principali difetti, una latenza imbarazzante nella comunicazione dei dati. La velocità e l'accuratezza nell'inviare i dati permettono cosi di ottenere un indicatore virtuale fluido e realistico con grafici dettagliati.
    In conclusione, il costo è elevato, se rapportato alla concorrenza cinese, ma se volete un prodotto affidabile, veloce, qualitativamente valido e sicuro, compatibile con tutte le maggiori app disponibili e che offre la piena compatibilità con Hybrid Assistant, allora questo è il miglior acquisto che possiate fare.
    Spero che la mia esperienza sia stata per voi utile.
