Live engine data, fault read/clear, module coding, readiness and CSV logging for first-gen MINI (R50/R52/R53) over the OBDLink MX+ — the cars other apps skip.
r53obd is a diagnostics and logging app built specifically for the first-generation MINI Cooper — R50, R52, and R53. These cars are too old for most modern diagnostic and coding apps, which start at the newer CAN-bus models. r53obd speaks their language.
Connect an OBDLink MX+ and get:
FREE
• Live engine data — RPM, boost/MAP, coolant & intake temps, throttle, fuel trims, lambda, timing, knock, and more
• Read & clear fault codes — in plain English, with MINI-specific detail generic scanners miss
• Emissions readiness monitors and VIN
• CSV data logging — capture a drive or a full-throttle pull and export it
• Guided cooling-fan test — pinpoint the classic first-gen fan/relay failure
• Coding preview — scan your body modules and read their option coding (read-only) (OBD breakout or bridge required to reach all modules)
• Demo mode — explore the whole app with sample data, no adapter required
PRO (one-time unlock)
• Module coding — plain-English toggles for comfort & convenience options (lighting, locking, chimes, displays), with an automatic backup before every change (OBD breakout or bridge required to reach all modules)
• Active tests / actuator controls — relays, fuel pump, A/C clutch, cooling fan, injectors, and more
• Adaptation resets
• Advanced dashboards
Built for the enthusiasts and DIYers who want real numbers from the supercharged Cooper S and honest diagnostics across the whole first-gen range.
REQUIRES the OBDLink MX+ adapter (sold separately) and OBD breakout or bridge (also sold separately) for live vehicle data. Inexpensive generic ELM327 clones are not supported for the MINI-specific data. For lawful diagnostics and maintenance on a vehicle you own.
