Not from the description as far as real-time values etc go.

But for service resets and activations it beats it hands down at the price. Pity it is Android only  >:(

Its a good-un I've read. but note you'll need the WiFi version if you're hoping to connect to an Apple - with the corresponding ~£35 Apple idiot tax:

It could be worth it for someone that just wants the basics. We have had lots of people that just want to reset the service reminder.

And that one doesn't have the cable nor does it mention BM bikes.

No cable - taken into account in my £35 difference - the Lx is around £85, but you can find it a bit cheaper on Az.

I'm pretty sure the MX+ has the same features + WiFi + some extra support for non-standard Fords and GM vehicles.
However, OBDLink will no doubt confirm that if anyone is buying.

Also there's another make that uses the genuine ELM327 chipset. As advised by the MotoScan app* chaps, these adaptors will allow you to reset fault codes:
- OBDLink LX and UniCarScan UCSI-2000

https://www.scantool-direct.co.uk/unicarscan-bluetooth-obd-adapter-for-ios-android-and-windows.html
Again, its Bluetooth, not WiFi - cable £20 extra or so, so not suitable for iPhone.

Cheaper versions (£5-£25 on eBay/Az) may let you view, but won't let you reset. My BAFX device is in this lowly league.


*Motoscan app is v good:

Am using Motoscan , works perfectly with iPhone Xiaomi Samsung phones , changes all cluster readings , erases all faults. Worked with all models . 80€ the app, 50€ the cable with 4 deferend modules.

Just bought the UniCarScan dongle. Was thinking about it anyway, but this discussion set me off.  Thanks Rae, Brian. ;D
I'll let you know how I get on some time in mid-Feb when I extract it from Ms Cashmere (= my birthday present). Boy do I know how to live it up.
