Hi rwmeath, this was one of my videos that started off very unpopular but has turned around and gotten better feedback. With the interest now, I am looking at doing some follow up videos with FORScan and torque pro.

NIce video, saw the buttong on the left, what is it for. Does it ON when you switch off the ignition and pull the key off

Liked the video and I like theobdlinkmx+

Did you shop around on scanners or just pick one .? I was looking at this one or the Blue Driver which is also Bluetooth . Care to share

Hi Jerry. I have been looking at scanners for years now and never bought one. I think the biggest deciding factor is what works best with your current car or your current need, which could just be the best all around scanner. I used to be into vw's and the vag-com (now VCDS) is probably the best option for those cars. Right now I have a Ford and this scanner works great with the forscan software so it was the best choice for me. I previously looked at blue driver which is also a great solution depending on what you want need.

I think you are asking about the firmware on the obdlink mx+. If so, you can do it through the scantool app on your phone. Go to settings, then firmware updates, and then click on check for updates. I need to do this on mine as there have been 8 or 9 updates since I filmed this, and i have not stayed updated.

Is it possible to reset the mileage counter?

@DadTechTV

From everything I have seen and read, you cannot reset mileage. I believe it will let you increase mileage. I saw someone post that they tried setting their mileage to all 9’s to try to get it to “roll over” to 0, but that does not work and he could not reduce mileage after that so he was in a pretty bad situation.

Hi Tana. You can look at the documentation of this device at the link below to see what they officially support with their hardware and software. There may be software that works with other cars that can use this hardware. The car must be equipped with OBD2. www.obdlink.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/oem-specific_coverage.pdf

The software is called Forscan. Sounds terrible when you say it out loud. i think they needed to drop the D in Ford so that ford wouldn't give them a hard time. The official web page is forscan.org/home.html. From what i've seen recently, they are a Russian company and due to issues with Russia right now, the banks have cut them off and you cannot buy the full license. if you search the app store for forscan you will find a full version and lite version.

It’s based off the type of computer in the car which most are obdii (unless you have a car from the 90’s or older) but then there are some variants. They have a list of specific make and models and what is supported at this link, www.obdlink.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/oem-specific_coverage.pdf. It may work with other obdii cars but these are the ones they have tested.
