Gadgetjq Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Mods & Accessories seems like a good place to post this. Updating: After a couple of updates proved to be buggy the issues have (apparently) been fixed. The new firmware works as expected (tested MX+ v5.5.3 on 5/10/20) Original post: If you're using an OBDLink code reader with FORScan or any other program/app that uses an OBDII reader there's probably an update waiting for you right now. The company has posted new firmware for their popular EX, MX and MX+ models over the past couple of weeks. Here's a link to the downloads page. Just choose your device to download: https://www.scantool.net/scantool/downloads/updates/ Note: To install just unzip the folder, connect your laptop to the OBDLink code reader (your Edge can be in accessory mode) then run StnFirmwareUpdater.exe . If you're connecting to a wireless device you might have to hunt down the com port being used. The updater defaults to Com 4 but my device (MX+) connected on Com 14. Cheers!

omar302 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Thanks for the heads up. Note: you can also update using your phone with the OBDLink app (at least on the Android app). Settings>Firmware upgrade. The app would download it for you and flash it directly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Update: I have updated the firmware on my OBDLink MX Bluetooth (not MX+) & OBDLink EX to the latest versions using the OBDLink Android App and both are working fine. So it seems only the MX+ has issues as faced by @Gadgetjq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
