Vgate vLinker MC+ OBD2 Bluetooth/BLE Scanner — Dual BT3.0 & BLE4.0, Live Data & Code Clearing

The Vgate vLinker MC+ is a compact OBD2 Bluetooth/BLE adapter that reads and clears diagnostic trouble codes, supports multiple vehicle networks, and works with Android, iOS and Windows apps.

This small, low-power dongle connects to your vehicle’s OBD-II port and links wirelessly to popular diagnostic apps. It supports both classic Bluetooth 3.0 and low-energy BLE4.0, handles standard OBD-II requests and extended CAN frames, and includes protections and firmware updates to keep the device current and safe for everyday use.

How does it connect to my phone or tablet?

The vLinker MC+ offers dual connection modes: Bluetooth 3.0 for apps that require classic Bluetooth and BLE4.0 for low-energy connections on modern apps and iOS devices. Pairing is straightforward and many common diagnostic apps detect the adapter automatically.

• Supports classic BT3.0 and BLE4.0 for broad device compatibility
• Works with Android, iOS and Windows via compatible apps
• Auto sleep/wake prevents unnecessary power drain during long-term connection

What diagnostic functions can I expect from this adapter?

The adapter provides core OBD2 functions—read/clear engine codes, live PID data—and may support module-level diagnostics (ABS, SRS, transmission, climate) when paired with capable apps. Advanced features depend on app support and the specific vehicle’s systems.

• Read and clear standard trouble codes and view live engine data
• Possible extended module access (ABS, SRS, drivetrain) via supported apps like FORScan and Carista
• Compatible apps include Torque, DashCommand, JScan and more (feature set varies by app)

Is the vLinker MC+ fast and safe for my car battery?

Designed with higher baud rates and a larger data buffer, the adapter handles longer data frames and faster communication reliably. Built-in battery protection, low idle current, and an auto-sleep feature minimize battery drain when the vehicle is parked.

• High-performance communication: 500Kbps baud rate and 2K byte USART buffer
• Supports OBD request sizes up to 1024 bytes for extended frames
• Over-voltage and battery-drain protections; sleep current down to 3mA

Which vehicles and networks does it support?

The vLinker MC+ supports most 12V gasoline cars and 12V small diesel vehicles (under 6.5T) built since 1996 that comply with OBD-II. It also supports manufacturer-specific CAN buses like SW-CAN and MS-CAN used by some GM and Ford models. It is not suitable for 24V heavy-duty diesel vehicles.

• Compatible with standard OBD-II protocols across most 1996+ 12V vehicles
• Supports SW-CAN and MS-CAN for access to certain GM/Ford proprietary networks
• Not intended for 24V power diesel vehicles

Who is this for? The Vgate vLinker MC+ is ideal for DIY enthusiasts, independent mechanics, and fleet operators who need a compact, app-friendly OBD2 interface that balances fast data handling with battery-saver features. Choose it if you want broad app compatibility, occasional advanced module access (when supported by your app and vehicle), and ongoing firmware updates backed by a one-year warranty.
