So far it appears this is the best "portable" Techstream option for troubleshooting. Techstream has it's place with programming options but this clearly has a lot of advantages and is basically plug and play to get going. We can all help each other so much better when someone can pull the codes on an electronic failure. Otherwise it is often a guessing game.
I will eventually post a video of how to connect and setup but posts below will have screenshots of what functions can be monitored in gauges as this piece really isn't published.
•• No idea of everything in screenshots below are supported in 460 so report back on things that do and don't work.
•• You do need their adapter or genuine 2.x firmware ELM327 adapters to read TPMS.
RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTINGS
Press and hold the button for 15 seconds
When factory settings have been restored, the green power LED will flash and turn solid
SLEEP MODE
While in sleep mode, the power LED quickly flashes every three seconds
One item I have found this doesn't query or troubleshoot is the KDSS module. It will show up but no PIDs will be identified when scanning the module. Something developer is still trying to crack. If you become aware of any with other apps let me know.
Is the MX+ worth the extra $30 over the LX? I'm seeing the only difference between the OBDLink LX and the MX+ is Single-Wire CAN (GMLAN) & Ford Medium-Speed CAN (MS-CAN)?
Anyone aware of any '14+ modules that are not found?
Is BSM on '14+ detected?
How about LDA, Radar Cruise, PCS on all years?

I just tried my mx+, with obdlink app on my phone. I could not figure out how I can add tire pressure and AT temp on the dashboard. I did installed free add-on for my 2015 gx with no issues.
Also noticed power light stays green and Bluetooth light keeps blinking while car has been off for more than an hour. Hope it does not drain much battery
Check in another hour or so... I have never timed it going to sleep but an hour seems like a long time.
You may need to reach out to support on that.

Before going onto AT let me know how this goes.
Thanks a lot. This is very helpful. I just added all of these. Firmware updated too. Battery reading reduced to 11.7, I am bit concerned. Need to start engine and take a ride soon.
