Description

Vgate vLinker FD Wi-Fi is a Wi-Fi OBD-II adapter recommended by FORScan for Android and iOS, also usable with Windows PCs. It gives access to the Ford/Mazda MS-CAN network in addition to the 5 legislated OBD-II protocols and is compatible with the ELM327/ELM329 AT and STN ST command sets. For 1996 and newer 12V petrol cars and 12V light diesel vehicles up to 6.5 t (not for 24V). BatterySaver: about 62 mA in operation, automatic sleep when idle.

Functions depend on the app, e.g. reading/clearing codes, live data, module resets, and coding / configuration of hidden features in FORScan or BimmerCode. Over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature and battery-drain protection; firmware updates from Vgate.

The adapter only provides the vehicle connection; the diagnostic app is chosen by the user. Some apps (or their advanced functions) are paid and are not included. Coverage depends on the vehicle and the app.
