Ratings and reviews

2022 Subaru Ascent and OBDLink MX rev 2.2 works great! Much appreciate having a tool like this. Once setup, connection is pretty seamless and snappy. I tow heavy so having all available info to keep an eye on my engine and cvt is a huge advantage. Just not sure about the 'basic version' label, is there an 'advanced/pro' version? I couldn't find it.
