OBDLink CX / Re: Would CX work with a 2023 Kia Niro EV?

« Last post by RoJo on Yesterday at 08:36:32 pm »

Did you end up buying?
I have a 2023 Hyundai Kona EV, probably all the same and am interested how it works.
I also have a ‘24 eSprinter I will try if it works. And which app did you use?

OBDLink MX+ / Re: 2022 Honda Ridgeline MX+ w/ latest version of app

Follow Manny's instructions if this doesn't resolve the issue.

What is the app that your using?
1) If using the ObdLink app, go to settings, preferences, communication type, communications then change it to Bluetooth
The MX+ doesn't support BLE.
2) If using a different app can you change your communication settings in your app to standard Bluetooth?
The only tool that we sell supporting BLE is the ObdLink CX.

Kind regards,
Shawn

OBDLink MX+ / 2022 Honda Ridgeline MX+ w/ latest version of app

« Last post by dilaarka on September 14, 2025, 04:41:31 pm »

MX+ adapter with latest version of firmware, and app using BLE to connect.
The app reports dashboard correctly, the Honda PIDs have been downloaded.

When I try to read transmission temp the app reports that my adapter is not an MX+ so it cannot report transmission temp. I have tried disconnecting, shutting the car down, restarting, reconnecting the MX+ to the obd port as well as rebooting the app, shutting my phone down and restarting the app. Nothing works same error.

Why does the app report that is not talking to an MX+?

I bought a Kingbolen S500 scan tool on Amazon. I've seen many excellent review of this scanner. But when I run a scan and send the report to my email (it says sent successfully) it takes a day or longer before I receive the email with a link to the report. Why does it take so long? Will it get better?

Hi LViegas,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

"A few days later, messages began to appear on the car's information panel."

May I ask if you happen to remember or have pictures of the types of messages that were on your vehicle's Instrument Cluster?

Do you have any other third-party apps like Car Scanner ELM OBD2 or Torque Pro installed on your phone/tablet?

Can you provide a picture of your vehicle's OBD port(showing the pins that are present and clearly visible)?

Lastly, what hardware revision is listed on the back of your MX+ unit?

• This will appear as "x.x", with "x" representing a number.

OBDLink MX+ / OBDLink MX+ and Volvo C30

« Last post by LViegas on September 11, 2025, 06:44:01 am »

Greetings.
I needed help with the OBDLink MX+ adapter and the OBDLink app software.
Connected via Bluetooth to the Android OBDLink app.
Car - Volvo C30, 1.6 diesel.
Year 2009.
Portugal.
Manual gears.
After making all the connections and testing the software, everything seemed normal. A few days later, messages began to appear on the car's information panel.
I had to go to my auto repair shop to resolve the issue.
Since I don't have the OBDLink MX+ system connected, several days have passed and no more messages have appeared on the car's information panel.
Best regards,
LViegas

The CX isn't going to work for you since it doesnt support MS-CAN.
You'll need either the MX+ (Bluetooth) or Obdlink-EX (USB).
The MX+ gives you free mfr specific add-ons using the OBDLink app.
The EX should be used if you plan on making any changes to modules so there's no chance of interrupting your connection.
