Security and OBD2 Software

This technique ensures that unauthorized users, cannot access the device and thus the data of your vehicle. The OBDLink LX supports the standard ELM327 instruction set, making it compatible with virtually all third-party (mobile) apps and software.
With the OBDLink LX bluetooth adapter, the full version of the OBDWiz software is included, as well as the OBDLink app for Android, but also works excellently with other software/apps, such as: DashCommand, OBD Doctor, ScanMaster, Torque, Motoscan etc. With the app and software you can do the following.
