I think OBDLink SX default baud rate is 115200, but it can be configured to something else. With RealDash closed, plugging in the adapter, does the system popup appear offering RealDash to be used with? Or does RealDash boot automatically as soon as USB is plugged in? ---

once I connect the USB it boots real dash automatically. ---

Ok, that indicates that RealDash has permission to use the adapter. Then I’m out of ideas. We do have OBDLink SX that we use for testing purposes almost daily. ---

Hi brother… i have question about the oil pressure i found two different of oil pressure 1- engine oil pressure : its not reading correctly as i showed you before. 2- oil pressure (simulated) : its reading well but always the minimum of the pressure it’s 30 psi its never showing below 30 psi but its changing while idling. so im confused . because i upgraded the oil pump, and i tested with a different app. It’s reading from 42-50 psi, and increasing while ideling but im not sure is that correct or not. so i want to be sure should i ge with the simulated oil pressure reading minimum 30 psi help me please 🙏 because u have a lot of experience. Thanks. ---

If you are using OBDLink adapter as a CAN adapter, on connection creation you: 1. Adapters (CAN/LIN)-\>OBDLink CAN adapter-\>(Bluetooth/USB/WiFi) 2. On final page select CAN description file, or provide a custom XML in case your vehicle/ecu is not on the list. ---

If you have the Mustang CAN XML, sure I can add that to next release of RealDash. [Previous page](https://forum.realdash.net/t/obdlink-sx-usb-adapter/1551.md?page=1)
