What OBD adapters work with MechMind?

MechMind uses Web Bluetooth, so you need a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) adapter with an ELM327 or STN chipset.

Tested adapters include:

  • OBDLink CX
  • vLinker MC+, MS, FS (BT), FD+ or BM+
  • Veepeak BLE+

Heads-up on vLinker naming: only the BLE variants work. The plain vLinker MC, FD and BM use classic Bluetooth 3.0 and will not pair; vLinker FS (USB) is wired only.

Classic Bluetooth and WiFi adapters are not supported.
