Overview
The Vgate vLinker FS USB is a professional-grade OBD2 USB adapter built for serious diagnostics and ECU programming. Powered by the proven ELM327 protocol, it connects your Windows laptop directly to your vehicle's OBD2 port and is specifically optimized for FORScan, delivering rock-solid stability during long diagnostic sessions and module programming without lag or crashes.
Whether you are a home mechanic, a DIY enthusiast, or a professional technician, the vLinker FS gives you fast, reliable access to your vehicle's onboard network. It works with 12V and 24V gasoline, diesel, and select CAN flow-controlled electric vehicles that meet the OBD-II standard, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of US- and EU-spec models.
Intelligent CAN bus detection automatically identifies and connects to supported buses, including HS-CAN and MS-CAN, so you can reach multiple modules with a single adapter. High-speed data transfer up to 3 Mbps and full 4095-byte packets mean complete DTC retrieval and large data transfers without truncation.
