OBDLink SX USB Professional OBD-II Scan Tool for Windows Connect With Your Car Like Never Before OBDLink SX can be used as a diagnostic scan tool, trip computer, logger, and real-time performance monitor. All you need is a 1996 or newer vehicle and a Windows PC, laptop, or tablet with a USB-A port or USB-A adapter, and you have a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use diagnostics system. OBDLink SX is a breeze to install and configure and features intelligent sleep mode, exceptional third-party software support, and included firmware and software updates.

You can also clear the 'Check Engine Light', read all diagnostic trouble codes and research them online, check emissions test readiness, and calculate instantaneous and average MPG. Maximum Vehicle Coverage OBDLink SX works with all 1996 and newer cars and light trucks sold in the United States (except hybrid or electric vehicles).

OBDLink SX has overvoltage protection, preventing it from catching on fire during a load dump condition. It automatically goes to sleep when not in use, saving you the trouble of dealing with a dead car battery. In summary, OBDLink provides a ton of value for your money. Review: You won't be disappointed! - I purchased this unit to diagnose a persnickety Check Engine light on my mother's '99 Oldsmobile Intrigue. The device, with its bundled software, allowed me to retrieve and erase saved and intermittent codes stored in the computer. I was able to successfully install the software on a Windows 7 64-bit laptop with no issues whatsoever. I have been able to also make a few bucks on the side diagnosing friends' cars, and to get a real-time look into sensor readings of used cars I've been looking at for purchase. (You'd be surprised how many people will hide a faulty sensor or "impending doom" by resetting the car's ECM before a buyer comes to look at it. If all emissions systems aren't "Ready," that's a red flag for a computer that's had codes reset or the battery disconnected.) It's a useful tool for not only the most basic of backyard mechanics (save $$$ by scanning codes yourself), but provides enough information for those handy under the hood to diagnose and repair without the added expense of a professional-level scan tool. It doesn't give you everything, as I was unable to access the stored codes in the Body Control Module or Antilock/Traction Control System, but the possibility may exist with different software or paying to unlock that feature. Honestly, I've only used it on a few occasions, my two cars are OBD-1 and not compatible with the module. Another handy feature is the ability to record and log realtime sensor output. This is vital for diagnosing intermittent problems, such as a failing sensor, as well as checking out those 0-60 runs to find out if your new K&N air filter really makes you go that 0.1 second faster. :-) The first time you use it, it pays for itself. A basic OBD-2 code reader (with far less capabilities) retails for nearly twice the price. My tools might get scattered in the garage, but I *ALWAYS* know where my laptop is, and I keep the scanner in my laptop bag. Between the convenience of having a scan tool at home, saving myself a 20-minute drive to the nearest auto parts box store for a free scan, and how useful it's been so far, this really is a no-brainer purchase. Bottom line: you can't beat this deal. It's easy to use, the software gives you plenty of information, and there are other free and paid software packages that might be a great thing to add in the future. A dealer or shop will usually charge you a pretty hefty price to find out that Check Engine light is from a loose fuel cap, and in this day and age, who doesn't like saving money? Review: This product works great with my windows 10 HP laptop - This product works great with my windows 10 HP laptop. With the included downloadable software and drivers this product will read not only active fault codes but stored fault codes as well. This product gives you the ability to delete active codes from your cars computer system as well as monitor and record your vehicle performance while driving. This ability allows you to diagnose the mystery problems that only occur under certain driving conditions. once a code is displayed on screen it is a simple point and click for the description of the fault along with links for manufacturer specifics as to what causes the code. for example instead of just telling you the cade is for a bad oxygen sensor in bank one it will tell you what the problems are with the censor (reading out of voltage range during these conditions) The virtual dash board is very informative giving you information such as exact water temperature, gallons per hour current being used (great for recognizing excessive gas consumption at idle). Speedometer and rpm gauge If you have a laptop that you don't care to use in the garage and are an at home mechanic that does not have hundreds or thousands to spend on a good scan computer I would recommend this product. It has a fair price with good features (Many I have yet to explore). The cord is long enough to set your laptop in your passenger seat and still be routed out of the way. Pros: Great features, sturdy construction, Fair price, cord length is sufficient for use. Cons: Would benefit greatly from a link to video instructions for use of the software (There may be a YouTube video out there but I have not had time to search for one) ## Features - This item is no longer in production and has been superseded by the OBDLink EX. - PROFESSIONAL GRADE SCAN TOOL: Transform your Windows PC, Laptop, or Tablet with a USB-A port or USB-A adapter into an accurate automotive diagnostic device (not Compatible with Apple iOS devices). - DIY VEHICLE DIAGNOSTICS: Save Time and money by reading and clearing 'Check Engine' and trouble codes yourself and determine problems before consulting a mechanic. - INCLUDED FIRMWARE AND SOFTWARE UPGRADES: System includes a License key for OBDwiz diagnostics Software for easy to access graphs, logs, and real - time engine data exports. - MAXIMUM VEHICLE COVERAGE: Works on more vehicles than any scan tool on the Market including all 1996 Cars and light trucks sold in the USA (except hybrid or electric vehicles). ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005ZWM0R4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #549,648 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #1,766 in Code Readers & Scan Tools | | Brand | OBDLink | | Brand Name | OBDLink | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 4,055 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00897155000005 | | Included Components | Quick Start Guide, Scanner | | Item Type Name | Diagnostic Scan Tool | | Item Weight | 3.2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | OBD Solutions | | Manufacturer Part Number | 425801 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 3 Year Full Manufacturer's Warranty.

Can you ship to Saudi Arabia ?** A: Sudqi,Yes we can ship to Saudi Arabia! There isn't a lot of difference in features between the 423001 (Elmscan 5 Compact) and the 425801 (Obdlink SX). The SX is a newer version and has a higher quality chip then the Elmscan. If you think you will be investing in vehicle-specific software to access additional codes later on, then I would recommend the SX. However, for just reading and clearing the basic codes OBDII standard listed at this link: http://www.scantool.net/obdwiz/#supported_pids , both tools will do this with the free software we provide.You should be aware before purchasing, that our scan tools, like most generic scan tools, only work with OBDII compliant vehicles. Each country has different requirements for manufacturers. In the US, any car or light truck from 1996 or newer was required to make them OBDII compliant. However, different countries have different requirements, some not many at all. The article on the following page can help determine compliance if you are unsure: https://www.scantool.net/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=2&nav=0,1 Best regards,Debra **Q: Will it work on a Subaru Wrx 2004? Will I be able to delete codes from ECU so I can delete TVGs? Can you tune with this aswell?** A: Hello Carlos,Our scan tools and software only read diagnostics from emissions data on vehicles that are OBDII complaint. You can clear codes. However, you cannot tune your vehicle.Best regards,AlonzoScanTool.net Team **Q: what Can of cable Can I use to do tuning , sacan, read my gauges , edit and that has obd2 cable to usb** A: You must FIRST chose the software that you want to use. Then read the documentation of that software. Wenn it says that ELM327 or Scantool adapters are supported, you can buy this one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You won't be disappointed! *by A***W on October 8, 2014* I purchased this unit to diagnose a persnickety Check Engine light on my mother's '99 Oldsmobile Intrigue.
