vLinker provides professional-grade Bluetooth, WiFi, and USB OBD-II car diagnostic scan tools and adapters, enabling seamless vehicle diagnostics and ECU coding.
vLinker, produced by Vgate, specializes in high-performance OBD-II automotive diagnostic scanners and adapters. These advanced devices plug directly into a vehicle's OBD-II port, allowing users to read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), view live sensor data, and perform advanced functions like ECU coding. vLinker adapters are designed for cross-platform compatibility, offering reliable connections via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or USB for iOS, Android, and Windows devices.
What sets vLinker apart is its expansive protocol coverage, including standard OBD-II protocols as well as manufacturer-specific networks like MS-CAN and SW-CAN. This makes them highly recommended for use with powerful third-party diagnostic software such as FORScan, BimmerCode, Torque Pro, and OBD Fusion. Built with intelligent BatterySaver technology that prevents vehicle battery drain during idle periods, vLinker provides professional-tier diagnostic capabilities for mechanics, car enthusiasts, and everyday drivers.

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Plug the adapter into your OBD2 port and turn the ignition to ON (engine off). Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone, but do not try to pair it through the iOS Bluetooth settings. Instead, open your compatible diagnostic app (like Car Scanner or BimmerCode) and connect to the device directly from the app's connection settings, choosing 'Bluetooth LE (4.0)'.
Because the vLinker uses Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) 4.0 technology for Apple devices, the connection is handled directly within the supported diagnostic apps. Just enable BT on your phone, ignore the settings menu, and complete the pairing inside the app.
Yes, most vLinker models feature BatterySaver technology. If left inactive, the device automatically enters a low-power sleep mode (drawing roughly 3mA of current). However, for long-term vehicle storage (weeks or months), it is recommended to unplug it to completely prevent any potential battery drain.
vLinker adapters boast extensive compatibility with many third-party apps. Depending on your adapter model (MC+, BM+, FS, etc.) and operating system, they support popular apps like BimmerCode, FORScan, Torque Pro, OBD Fusion, Car Scanner ELM OBD2, JScan, and Dr. Prius.
