NEXASNexLINK Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner for Car - Check Engine Light Code Reader with Live Data & Performance Test, Wireless Diagnostic Scan Tool with Resets for All US Vehicles, Works with iOS/Android

Good basic scanner. no issues. have used it a bunch of times and even bought a second one for my son.

This review is for "NEXAS NexLink Bluetooth 5.0 Diagnostic Scanner for iPhone & Android & Windows OBD2/EOBD Fault Code Reader Enhanced Diagnostic Scan Tool, Torque Dash Command OBD Fusion". I ordered it from the seller "SoctechDirect". I have multiple points for review:1. Genuine ELM237 chip: I used an Android app called "ELM327 Identifier" to test the firmware version of the ELM327 chip used in this scanner, and it turned out to be version 2.2 (which is the second to latest version, as of November 2020). This is a good thing, as most cheap OBD scanners on Amazon and Ebay have either version 1.4 (which could be genuine or fake), or version 1.5 (which is absolutely fake, as ELM Electronics never made a version 1.5 chip). So this thing seems to be using a genuine ELM327 chip. You can go to Wikipedia to read more about EML327 versions and their features. But most importantly, this is not a fake product (or maybe a very good fake that passed the test?), and uses a fairly new version of the chip.2. First impressions on quality: This is a well made scanner. It is compact in size, and the build quality looks good. They included a small (literally) but detailed instruction manual, which also mentions a few different apps that can be downloaded and used with this scanner. The app list is not exhaustive, as OBD protocol is universal and any OBD app should work with this scanner. The instruction manual was easy to understand and did not have spelling and grammatical errors (which talks about the quality control of the company, because mis-translated or entirely non-existent instructions are very common nowadays).3. My experience: I used it with the Torque app, on my old Samsung phone, running Android version 5. No problems with Bluetooth connectivity. I was able to successfully diagnose an ignition coil issue. I have not used it a lot yet, and I cannot talk about its longevity or customer support. If some issue comes up later on, I will update this review. Otherwise, it looks like a good product so far, and I am satisfied. Among entry level scanners, this one seems to be on the higher end of quality.

Small , convenient, works fine with my cell phone and gives me an idea of whats happening with my Prius. Good enough till I can get my car to the shop.

Afford, compact, and does the job. I like that it also has the battery test feature.

Not good. Pairing failed over and over. Didn't provide any data. Total disappointment and I missed the return window so now I'm stuck with it. Do not recommend buying this (2006 Dodge Durango)

The NEXAS NL101 is a reliable and efficient tool for anyone looking to diagnose and troubleshoot their vehicle’s issues. Its dual functionality as a scanner and battery tester, combined with its ease of use and wide compatibility, make it a valuable addition to any toolbox. The plug-and-play design means no need for charging. Simply connect it to your vehicle’s OBD2 port, and it starts working immediately. The 2.4-inch color screen is clear and easy to read.

I use the OBD Fusion app for iOS and this Nexas NexLink scanner is on the list of OBD Fusion’s officially recommended scan devices.Pro tip: in the OBD fusion settings, make sure to set the communication type to Bluetooth LE (screenshot). Note that you do not set this up in the iOS Bluetooth settings menu but directly in the app of your choosing (highly recommend OBD Fusion as well).The Initial connection was relatively quick and subsequently connects with ease.I’ve had other OBD2 scanners that connect over WiFi, which requires you to join the network the scanner broadcasts from your phone’s WiFi menu. Which is way more of a hassle.This scanner does what it’s intended to do and does it very well. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to get more data from their vehicle, from real-time performance metering to diagnostics.

If you get this for bimmerlink know it can't implement everything with it. But can do some changes. It also tends to disconnect quite often and is a bit annoying.
