OBDLink is the successor to ElmScan 5 — the number one
best-selling PC-based scan tool in the world. This OBDLink model includes a
Bluetooth transmitter built in and connect to your Bluetooth enabled laptop
wirelessly. Like its predecessor, OBDLink
supports all OBD-2 compliant vehicles, and is compatible with
all diagnostic software written for the ELM327-based interfaces. This
model shown here includes the Bluetooth module built inside the scan tool.
Note: there is an assumption that most modern laptops are Bluetooth
capable without the need for a Bluetooth dongle, but if you need the USB
Bluetooth adapter, we have those available as well.

OBDLink is our latest, most advanced PC-based scan tool that
supports all OBD-2 compliant vehicles. Use it to convert your laptop, netbook,
or desktop PC into a sophisticated, easy to use diagnostic system — for a
small fraction of the cost of comparable standalone units! The package
includes everything you need to diagnose your vehicle's problems.
Basic diagnostic software included with the scan tool, allows
you to:
-
Turn off Check Engine Light, and erase stored
diagnostic information

Read and Erase Trouble Codes (Generic and
Manufacturer-Specific)
