OBDLink CX

OBDLink CX

The OBDLink CX is recommended by Bimmercode for use with their developed app. OBDLink and Bimmercode developed the CX together and made sure that the CX has a very stable connection, which is necessary for coding, so nothing can go wrong. The CX works with both Android and iOS devices via a Bluetooth 5.1 connection. The CX and is so-called BLE dongle. The Bimmercode app can be purchased from the Google Play Store, or from the Apple Store. The OBDLink app can be downloaded for free. We also recommend the OBDLink CX for the ABRP, and the LeafSpy app. This is because the CX works perfectly on EV cars.
