Anyone know correct way to get this working with 2021?
I have OBDLink MX+

I plugged it in directly. Power comes on. Connect via bluetouch to surface.

Other two lights don't come on. ODB or Host.

Read, you need cable. Have cable, plugged truck into cable, obdlink into it.
Plugged in white to empty spot, plugged green into empty spot.

Still nothing. are you supposed to plug these cables in certain spot? Did I buy wrong things for 2021?

Found my issue. Looks like it was working.
I downloaded the 'free' software that comes with OBDLInk. Noticed it wasn't working either.
It was paired to my computer via Bluetooth (windows10) But it was actually on COM5.

So in AlfaOBD, I was picking OBDLink MX+ which was trying to connect via BT.
Picked different OBDLink which uses com port, and it connected.

Still haven't been able to actually do anything yet, but at least it connects :)
