ET deals: ScanTool OBDLink MX Bluetooth diagnostic scanner for Android $103, plus Xbox 360 deal

Take control of your car’s diagnostics with today’s deal on a ScanTool OBDLink MX Bluetooth scanner. On sale now for 49% off, it can save you money at the garage as well as compile a wealth of data about your vehicle’s performance.
The ScanTool OBDLink MX Bluetooth connects to a wide range of cars via the diagnostic port near the steering wheel, and generates data about your car that is wirelessly transmitted to a receptive Android or Windows device. The scanner boasts faster updates compared to the competition, resulting in smoother graphs and faster real time screen refreshes. It’s compatible with tablets, PCs or even phones that run Android or Windows, and this deal is bundled with the exclusive OBDwiz license for Windows.

Once installed, there’s a lot you can do, starting with general diagnostics to review basic problems before you take your car to the garage. However, the fun doesn’t end there, as on certain car models you can activate the power windows/locks and even remotely start your engine right from your app. You can create logs of your trips with live performance data to gather information about your car in the moment, and easily keep tabs on overall health. Certain models can give you data on ABS, airbags, and more.
This device can be left plugged into your car permanently thanks to auto-sleep functionality that won’t drain your battery. It’s compact enough that it won’t get in the way and cost you legroom, so you won’t mind keeping it in there either. As long as you don’t have a hybrid or electric car, it’s compatible with every car or light truck made in the US since 1996. It carries a three year warranty.
