OBDLink MX+ is on Sale today

Ok, here is V1.2. Fixed the import background color issues. Positioning issues on screen are device specific and will have to be done manually for devices other than iPhone 14 Max Pro. Changed some formatting and added trailer brake voltage PID. As usual convert extension to .stg before import.

Am I the only one that cannot open that pdf? It downloads but won’t open.

Because it is not a .pdf file, it is an .stg file to work around constraints of forum software. Change .pdf to .stg and import it into the OBDLink App. There is no file to "open".

Ok that makes sense, thank you!

Version 1.3 of the OBDLink PowerBoost dashboard. Most changes were to format and colors to make display more readable in full sunlight. This dashboard was built on an IOS device. Still looking for more useful PID's.

As usual change the file extension from .pdf to .stg before trying to import the file into your device with the OBDLink app.

The OBDLink Mx+ OBD2 adapter is available here on Amazon. OBDLink app is available in the app stores. The easiest way to export and import dashboards is with DropBox.

There is a lot of information displayed on one dashboard in this version. With the iPhone mounted in the right position all the information is viewable. Information top to bottom is GPS derived position information, engine information not available on the dashboard is in the middle and both DC electrical systems information is displayed at the bottom.

Here is how I have my iPhone mounted. The iPhone is displaying the truck information while at the same time is driving the Sync 4 display via USB Apple CarPlay.

And finally here is my latest version of the dashboard.

Half of the gauges of mine don’t register anything, is that because it’s a 2023? I know currently I cannot get ford pids for 23my?

sorry it’s probably something simple I’m overlooking.

Same thing happened to me when I upgraded from a 2021 PB to a 2023 PB. You have to tell OBDLink that you have a 2022 F-150. 2023 PID's not yet available. Also note v1.3 available in this thread, you have v1.2.

Thank you, I’ll give that a try. I truly appreciate it.

Also I see the GPS functions are not working at the top. That should have nothing to do with the Ford model year PID's. I suspect that is an Android/IOS issue. My dashboard was made on an iPhone.

I have an iPhone also, it did work earlier, but it was hit and miss, but I wasn’t driving also so maybe that’s why on my part. I’ll update tomorrow on a drive.

I did change it to 22my.

Neat OBDLink, Apple CarPlay, Sync 4 Screen Shot Feature:

If you have OBDLink active on your iPhone, hooked to Sync 4 via USB tether like this with Google Maps Satellite view:

Then you simply say "Hey Siri Screen Shot", Siri will simultaneously do a screen grab of the iPhone screen and the Sync 4 screen and save it to your "Photos" library on the iPhone. V1.3 of my OBDLink dashboard has Latitude/Longitude displayed so you can precisely document by place and time any event of interest that might be showing up on OBDLink application.

Here are two simultaneous screen shots using the "Hey Siri" voice command.

So I forgot to update yesterday, still on v1.2, the gps worked but no the rest I will put on 1.3 on the way home and see.

Delete and reinstall the app, then set it up from the beginning as a 2022 PowerBoost.

Okay, I got the v1.3, yesterday I did delete the truck and readded it. Just now it searched for available PIDs and well over 3000. And now it works, besides the gps but those may work once I drive! Thanks for making a new version.

How much info would I be able to get from this OBD reader for an XL trim?
I realize most of this is for higher trim vehicles, just curious if it’s worth purchasing the obdlink

Still don’t understand how my 2017 had basic info like trans temp, engine hours, idle hours, but a 2023 doesn’t.

I would like to be able to see transmission temps, coolant temps, voltage, SOC, and boost.

2023 XL/STX 2.7 ecoboost
