Vgate vLinker FD | ELM327 Interface (WiFi)

The Vgate vLinker FD is an ELM327 interface that enables wireless diagnosis and monitoring of vehicles via a WiFi connection. This device is designed to connect to the OBD-II port of your vehicle and communicates with compatible software on smartphones, tablets, or computers.

Characteristic of the vLinker FD is the support of both HS-CAN and MS-CAN networks, enabling broader vehicle coverage and access to specific manufacturer protocols. The device features an automatic sleep mode for energy saving and offers faster data transfer than many standard ELM327 adapters.

Application and functionality:

The Vgate vLinker FD is used for reading and diagnosing vehicle systems. The device provides access to the onboard computer for various functionalities.

• Reading and clearing fault codes: Accessing and interpreting diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) to detect vehicle malfunctions.
• Live data stream: Real-time display of sensor data, such as engine speed, coolant temperature, fuel system status, and vehicle speed.
• Freeze Frame data: Recording data at the moment a fault code is logged, which helps in analyzing the malfunction.
• O2-sensors monitoring: Monitoring the performance of the oxygen sensors.
• I/M Readiness status: Check if all emission-related systems are ready for inspection.
• Module scan: Ability to read and diagnose specific modules, including MS-CAN modules.
