Vgate vLinker FS BT OBD-II Adapter – MS-CAN Wireless OBD2 Scanner with FORScan Support
Product Description
The new Vgate vLinker FS BT OBD-II Adapter is an advanced wireless diagnostic solution that transforms your iPhone, Android device, or Windows PC into a professional diagnostic tool. Unlike many other OBD adapters, the vLinker FS also provides access to MS-CAN networks in addition to all standardized OBD-II protocols, making it perfect for Ford and Mazda, among others, which use MS-CAN.
With a power consumption of only 28 mA in operation and 3 mA in sleep mode, you can leave the adapter plugged in without worrying about draining the car battery. Thanks to automatic sleep function and intelligent wake-up, it is both energy-efficient and reliable.
