OBDLink 17+

This is a major release with a ton of updates and a revamped user-interface. We worked extremely hard to rewrite the app to provide the best user experience. If you run into any issues or just have feedback, please reach out to us! Here are some highlights of what's new in this version.

Dashboard Improvements

• Added a Map gauge.
• Added a Clock gauge.
• Added the ability to copy and paste gauges between dashboards.
• Added the ability to resize gauges directly on the dashboard.
• The compass gauge now rotates the scale instead of the needle. This option can be changed in the style editor.
• Added an extra fine dashboard snap to grid mode.

Graphing Improvements

• Improved the graphing configuration. You can now configure multiple graphs in rows and columns.

Refresh Rate Improvements

• Added a new option to combine SAE PID requests (aka PID stuffing). When enabled, this can more than double refresh rates on vehicles that use the CAN protocol.
• Added a help file page for tips on getting the best PID refresh rate.

Data Logging and Maps

• Viewing a logged data file now displays your trip on a map.
• Revamped the Maps page. You can open a logged file and play back your route on the map.

PID Values Improvements

• Added the ability to re-order PIDs on the PID Values page.
• Added the ability to view PID values for certain PIDs in hexadecimal or binary. You can change the setting for certain PIDs when connected by long-pressing the item.

Enhanced Diagnostics Improvements

• Added a customization page that's available with the Toyota and Lexus enhanced add-on.
• Added Mazda 2024 enhanced diagnostics. Some previous years require downloading new content and re-scanning for supported PIDs.
• Updated the Ford enhanced add-on to include some additional 2020 and 2021 model year vehicles. You will need to download new content for the add-ons on the Settings > Get Enhanced OEM Add-Ons page.

EV/Hybrid PIDs

• Added EV and Hybrid energy and energy economy PIDs.
• You must configure the powertrain type for your vehicle in the vehicle editor. If you have an Electric or Plug-in Hybrid vehicle, you must also configure the high voltage battery capacity in the vehicle editor.

User-Defined PIDs

• Added support for 11-bit CAN extended addressing in user-defined PIDs.
• Added a user-defined PID function to convert bytes directly to an IEEE754 floating point value.
• Added support for copying (duplicating) a user-defined PID.
• Added support to user-defined PIDs to set the 11-bit CAN receive address.
• Added support for importing all user-defined PID fields from a CSV file.
• Added a help document for user-defined PIDs.

General Changes and Improvements

• Moved the trip statistics and trip meter pages to the new trips page.
• When configuring PIDs while not connected, you now have the option to display only PIDs supported by the active vehicle.
