OBDLink MX+

[Backwoodsracing]

Keeps showing this one is not supported.

Scantool keep changing their products. They know pcmhamer exists and they gave us details for their products when we wrote it but we cant keep up and we get nothing from this. We put a catchall in there so it'll work with unknown scantool interfaces but if you want it work faster you'll need to test and update pcmhammer yourself (and submit your improvements so we can put it in the tool for everyone), or lean on scantool and see if they'll update it, or just use it as is. scantool have not been a good company to work with and personally im done with putting more effort in for their profits. Anyone can get the source code, look at the scantool init code, add add new variations of interfaces and test larger packet sizes.

It won’t let me use it at all I’ve tired all day. Should have just bought the corded one only got this because it showed it works with ford to. But I seen others posting that the OBDLink MX+ worked for them but that was 2 years ago.

Does the OBDLink SX still work ?

BT is hard on windows. Its probably showing up as 2 ports and probably the other one will work. Which one works is random when they hook up to windows and it changes. I can no longer vouch for scantool. I can say i'd expect the wired one to work but I have no way to test it. You're better off with an obd xpro or a vcx nano in that price range.

Yeah shows 2 coms but only one will connect just to say this scan tool device is not supported. And com 4 just freezes the software. Guess I’ll send this one back.

The only part I agree with Antus on is Blue Tooth and Windows do not work well together!

A Debug log would be very helpful, without it, it's only guess work!

I have gotten the MX+ to work for others, and I would like to at least know the chip id on that MX+, it would be in a PCMHammer debug log.

Thank you!

I’ll see if I can find it but I deleted it all and reinstalled it 3 times to see if that was the problem. How did you get it to work for the others ?

[antus]

when it says its unsupported its talking to the obdlink ok, and will work. if the blutooth is disconnected and brought back up and you dont get that warning when you initialize then its on the wrong port. if its talking to the obdlink the problem is car / bench side. ignition not on or another electrical problem.

[10:18:05:689] We're going to default to very small packet sizes, which will make everything slow, but at least it'll probably work.
