It truly boils down to how well the driver understands the vehicle - not just a focus on its limitations. I've run into this in both the Jeep (owned Wranglers for > 25 years) and Bronco (have a 2024 Bronco) crowds.

Need more information as to what devices you're trying to protect, but wrapping the 12VDC line around torroid cores, using inductive suppressors and good grounding generally stops noise and other forms of interference in RF, AF and many video applications. You can also put one or more clamp-on...

For what it's worth, in addition to this low-fluid-level problem, there may also be a problem with the quality of the oil itself. In my full-sized Bronco, the manual transmission made noise when cold, at startup, since it was picked up from the dealer a year ago. Changing the oil to a...

Exactly.

I think the audio sample was taken at the rear of the vehicle. If it was taken under the hood you'd hear belt, bearing and injector noise instead of that wonderful exhaust note. Also, I believe there isn't really an "exhaust manifold" on these engines; the turbocharger assembly bolt rights on...

I'd think you're a long way from having to deal with a CV joint or any suspension component if you drive normally. I'd think that it easily could be a shim or a shield (especially the "click" is rhythmic and not very loud).

Agree that there is nothing to worry about. Engine sounds healthy! Sounds the noise might be a heat shield rattling above the muffler in the back (which I submit is normal). Remember to ensure all your tires are exactly the same size (and preferably the exactly same vendor/make) after...

Hmmm.... I'm not finding STUPID mode on mine.

Did you change a tire recently? Do you have dissimilar tire vendors or sizes? These are AWD systems (not a true 4WD with mechanical diffs and a transfer case) and some can even be sensitive to varying tread depths. The sensors and firmware are constantly evaluating the attributes of all four...

You 1.5L will enjoy higher octane gas, and the valves ARE designed to handle it. I've had turbo cars for over 20 years: these are high-strung, high compression wonders that have to endure insanely high compression ratios. They need to breathe freely. They can last a long time with top-notch...

You can purchase an ammeter cheaply off of Amazon, or have a mechanic do a current draw check with everything "off" (unfortunately "OFF" no longer means "OFF"). The threshold where there may be a problem is a bit ambiguous, but in general if the current draw is over 100ma you probably have some...

This is a shot in the dark, but if you have an OBD device plugged into your OBD port, some of these aftermarket devices poll the modules on the bus (even when the vehicle is shut off) and thus have a parasitic draw in excess of 50mA. I don't have this problem (yet) with my OBDLink+, but I...

Wow. Can't argue with you on that. PERFECT (except, of course, no manual transmission is available for that configuration). Really glad a guy can still buy a truck like this.

I agree. There is a pin removal tool, possibly proprietary, for this. What I would do, though, is cut the applicable wire at the male plug and route it separately (via a quick-disconnect and a splice) to the target wire in the socket. You can insert any quick-disconnect to facilitate future...

Totally understand. I moved to a big Bronco (2024 2-Dr 2.3L/7MT Big Bend) exactly a year ago (but we still have a Bronco Support in the family). One of the biggies is missing the manual transmission (and, for me, the shorter wheelbase and lighter weight). The big Bronco is not without...

OK. First, you might want to try restarting your Android phone. If that doesn't fix the problem, I would contact the vendor for support, or check with the forum using the link below: https://www.obdlink.com/support/mxp/

Please confirm that you did you install the app on your iPhone, using the QR Code. You did not state whether you first installed the app on your iPhone. You WILL be frustrated if you do not first install the app. There is no PIN. ODBLink does not use a PIN. The error you are seeing is not...

>> I did not scan the QR code ? Are you saying that you did not see a QR Code in the supplied Quick Start documentation? >> The directions didn’t say to do the . Not sure what you're saying here. I'm looking at the Quick Start directions now, and - starting at Step 1 - it clearly says...

I paired my OBDLink MX+ successfully with an Android device. You did first scan the QR code supplied with your OBDLink, correct? And you did have the OBDLink plugged into the port and click the connect button, correct?

Hmmm. I'd start then with busted motor mount, loose or broken exhaust hangers - stuff like that. If you had someone install a rear hitch, they may have left something hanging. That happened to me. This stuff can drive one nuts. On my big Bronco, I have a super annoying vibration-induced...
