Ok... 🤔

Are you actually fully "supporting" Honda, or are you secretly biased against it, and pushing fake service? 🤔

Because there's a statement that you're in bed with Toyota.

Why did it take you years to support Honda, aren't you "interested" in reliable cars? 🤔

terrible

absolutely terrible, waste of time and money. can’t even read a fault code without paying for a subscription. i’ll stick to OBD11

Not up to the high claims and not worth the money

I bought this device after watching loads on youtube claims done by those people who get paid referral fees. Well… it arrived within two days or so to say the next working day. I was very keen in resetting feu faults and modules on a Renault Kadjar after replacing a completely dead battery. To discover that nothing would reset correctly, no customisations available, not even the oils service reset present. Tested on a neighbour Ford, nothing extra could do that the could be done directly from car dashboard. Tested on another car, an Audi Q5… it could only do a passenger seatbelt de-activation. After all those proving tests I came to the conclusion that the ELM327 saved me and done all the resets needed on each module. To add on top of the situations explained, at the beginning, because the app didn’t had anything for my car model, I’ve sent to CARISTA/PRIZMOS a scan file of all modules in the idea and hope that they’ll work out something for my model in everyone’s benefits. After writing to them and receiving the promise that an answer will come within 24Hours… well nothing received even after 2 other requests for refund, am here giving a clear, honest review/opinion/experience description, so other people don’t go though this frustration. I hope they’ll keep the 14 days return promise and reply within time for me to return it without any hassle .

Waste of money

Paid for a month of premium to be able to export data of RPM and other aspects of my drive to support a warranty claim, and all you can do is read live data. What a waste of £20!

Used once, now won’t work.

I paid for a monthly subscription and downloaded this app on August 5th, 2026. I used OBDLink MX+ scan tool with it to program the new TPMS on my Toyota Tacoma successfully. The app recognized my scan tool perfectly. I tried using it again with the same scan tool on my GMC Sierra, August 30th, 2026 only to find out that it won’t recognize my scan tool now. “Failed to connect,Report problem”… so I reported it and was told by app support that it didn’t work with my scan tool. I told them I used it less than a month ago and it did work. They said “thanks for clarifying but the OBDLinkMX+ is no longer supported”. Thanks, but no thanks! $20 down the tubes! So I decided to do a review. I WOULDN’T recommend this app to anyone. UNSUBSCRIBED!
