Which OBD2 Scanner To Buy?
Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2023 1:04 am
Hi everyone,
I'm very new to the Ranger community as we have only had our PX2 for just on a year now.
Currently touring Australia and upgraded from our 2006 D22 Navara to the 2016 XLT PX2 - man what a difference in... well pretty much everything.
Anyway I could ramble on but I am looking for an OBD2 scanner that will connect to my Samsung mobile (bluetooth)
A fellow traveller was telling me about the OBDLink MX+ but i am need of some advice.
What is available out there that will Bluetooth to my phone and give me as much info as possible.
There seems to be so many to choose from, I just want to purchase a reliable unit.
We are towing a small offroad van so I really want to keep an eye on my temps etc. The Navara was monitored through SAAS gauges etc.
Also need to read up on Forscan - what that is/how to use it and which OBD2 devices work with it.
Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the long winded question.
May 2016 3.2ltr XLT PX2. 6 Speed Manual
Cheers.
Tony
