OBDLink MX+ ??????????

[dieselscout80]

My OBDLink MX+ does not have any latching ability to keep it in my OBD port. I am concerned that I might bump it and cause it to fall out and lose it as it hangs straight down.

Question do you leave your OBDLink MX+ in your OBD port all the time or do you only install it when using it?

I have my bypass cable installed in the permanently installed configuration. I wonder if installing in the temporary configuration would be a better for leaving the OBDLink MX+ installed all the time?

Only need to have it installed when using for Programming. You can leave the Bypass installed.

I left my bypass cable installed, but the OBDLink is only installed when I need it.
FWIW, I had it's (discontinued) predecessor installed in an F350. If I didn't drive around without it every once in a while I started getting all kinds of wonky warnings on the instrument cluster.

I leave my OBDLink MX+ plugged in all the time and have not had any issues. Makes it convenient if I decide I want to monitor something on a drive. Note that I currently do not use a bypass cable.

It will not fall out it fits in pretty snug mine stays in no issue on some very rough roads

My factory OBD port has a small chunk broken off because I kicked the reader once. It now lives up under the dash.

Hello everyone! Can someone guide me about the By pass cable? What is it and where to install it? I currently have a BD installed and it has its own By pass cable but it plugs into a box that connects to the BD programmer, the idea is to buy the OBDLink MX+ to relearn the 68RFE transmission since I will change the valve body, but I want See where to connect that bypass cable so that the OBDLink MX+ can work and perform the functions correctly.. thank you for your support.. greetings!

AlfaOBD

Has anyone played with AlfaOBD on their 2019 HD's yet? I'm curious if anything is accessible to "change" and if it just works. There is lots of different info out there on other forums, but i haven't found anything in regards to the 2019's. EDIT: AlfaOBD does work, here is the what is needed...
