General OBD Questions / Re: Programming 2012 for tow mirror
« Last post by Shawnf350 on February 16, 2026, 05:53:59 pm »You can try AlfaObd.
https://www.alfaobd.com/
https://www.alfaobd.com/supported_cars.html
There are videos on you tube if your search too.
https://youtu.be/H2jwMda0v3Q?si=mkR2_BzT2HUbEqC_
I would personally purchase the ObdLink MX+.
Then you'll also be able to scan Ram vehicles and many other makes using the OBDLink app
with free mfr specific add-ons.
The base tool is the OBDLink LX. If your not looking for extra features for the future.

Shawn

OBDLink MX+ / Re: bluetooth connection disconnecting
« Last post by Shawnf350 on February 15, 2026, 05:47:38 am »From what your describing, it sounds like the modem may be failing.
But, I would try a factory reset.
Hold the rest button 15-20 sec until power LED flashes rapidly then goes solid.
If that doesn't work, you can also try going back to the previous firmware version by downloading and installing it from a PC.
Having a hard time linking directly, so. Go to the link in my screenshot if one below doesn't work.
https://www.scantool.net/downloads/updates/obdlink_mxp/
I also suggest you put in a support ticket.
https://support.obdlink.com/support/tickets/new
Describe or link them to this thread Let them know when you purchased it (3 year warranty)
Kind regards,
Shawn

OBDLink MX+ / bluetooth connection disconnecting
« Last post by mhixson on February 12, 2026, 11:27:10 pm »Vehicle: 1996 AM General Hummer. GM 6.5TD.
Hi, I've been using an OBDLink MX+ for a couple years. I run it always connected to my 1996 Hummer. I have a Raspberry Pi that connects via Bluetooth and records data. This has been rock solid up until a few weeks ago. Every once in a while the reader just stops returning data and the blinkenlights stop flashing. Sometimes the connection between the Pi and MX+ will restore in a few seconds and sometimes it seems to be disrupted until I unplug/replug the MX+.
I had thought something was going wrong with my Pi, but this evening I saw the exact same behavior between the MX+ and my iPhone running the OBDLink app or DashCommand.
I do know there was a firmware update for the MX+ that I applied sometime around when I started noticing this happening, but I can't say 100% that the problem started right after the update.
Anyone else seeing this? Any known fix?

« Last post by STN-Manny on February 11, 2026, 03:25:26 pm »Are you using a particular app to connect to your vehicle?
The OBDLink app does not have access to OEM data, which you more than likely will need.
We would recommend trying Carista, which should have OEM data for your vehicle.
