Product information

What is the Vgate vLinker BM+ Bluetooth OBD2 Adapter used for?

The vLinker BM Plus is an screenless vehicle communication adapter designed for individuals who will use supported BMW and MINI functions with an iPhone or Android. Compared to the vLinker BM, the BM+ adds iOS support, while the BM is limited to Android and Windows connectivity.

This distinction affects not only the convenience of connection for the vLinker BM Plus but also the applications that can be used and the vehicle networks that can be accessed. The following limitation applies when selecting the vLinker BM Plus: BimmerCode or BimmerLink license, in-app features, and vehicle generation are not included in the adapter package.

The vLinker BM Plus does not perform diagnostics on its own; the codes and data carried by the adapter are interpreted through service procedures, physical inspection, and, if necessary, measurements.

What would you buy this for?

  • Individuals who will use supported BMW and MINI operations with iPhone or Android
  • Users of one of the iOS, Android, and Windows devices
  • Those who confirm from the application documentation the need for data transfer focused on BimmerCode and BimmerLink with standard OBD-II protocols for vLinker BM Plus
  • Users who accept the screenless adapter and separate application setup with vLinker BM Plus

Featured diagnostic features

  • Bluetooth LE and classic Bluetooth connection
  • Operating system: iOS, Android, and Windows
  • Protocol coverage: data transfer focused on BimmerCode and BimmerLink with standard OBD-II protocols

Product details

What is vLinker BM Plus used for?

The vLinker BM Plus establishes a data connection between the vehicle's OBD socket and compatible software running on iOS, Android, and Windows. When connected to a general OBD2 application, the vLinker BM Plus can read engine and emission codes, readiness monitors, and supported live data.

The visibility of brand-specific modules or coding options through the vLinker BM Plus depends on the application's support for that vehicle and control unit. The vLinker BM Plus itself does not contain a screen, its own diagnostic software, or a vehicle database; these tasks are handled by the application used.

  • Communication between OBD socket and application
  • Reading codes and live data in supported applications
  • Application and vehicle condition for brand-specific access
  • Phone, computer, and application are not included in the package

Product details

Connection and operating system difference

The connectivity specified by the manufacturer for vLinker BM Plus is Bluetooth LE and classic Bluetooth connection; the supported platform description is iOS, Android, and Windows. For the initial setup of vLinker BM Plus, the iPhone connection is initiated within the app; on Android, select vLinker BM-Android and use code 1234 if necessary.

Even if the vLinker BM Plus appears in the phone's connection menu, data exchange with the vehicle has not begun. The vLinker BM Plus is selected with the correct adapter type within the application; code deletion or setting changes are not made without reading the ignition status and initial vehicle profile.

Connection
Bluetooth LE and classic Bluetooth connection
Platform
iOS, Android, and Windows
Application
Installed and licensed separately

Product details

Protocol coverage and technical limitations

Vgate specifies support for data transfer focused on BimmerCode and BimmerLink with standard OBD-II protocols for the vLinker BM Plus hardware. Although the vLinker BM Plus communicates with supported vehicle networks, the application used may not recognize every module in the vehicle.

BimmerCode or BimmerLink license, in-app features, and vehicle generation are not included in the adapter package. Reading fault codes with vLinker BM Plus is not at the same risk level as configuration or programming; writing operations require the vehicle battery, module selection, application license, and a rollback record.

On the voltage side, the manufacturer's BM+ description targets passenger car OBD2 usage; 24V heavy-duty vehicle support should not be assumed for this model.

  • Verified coverage: data transfer focused on BimmerCode and BimmerLink with standard OBD-II protocols
  • Application and vehicle profile can narrow the technical scope
  • Code reading and programming operations are not to be confused
  • Firmware is only available from Vgate's official download channel

Product details

Basic difference from vLinker BM

Although vLinker BM Plus and vLinker BM are in the same vLinker family, they are not the same variant. The fundamental difference between these two models is: BM+ adds iOS support, while BM is limited to Android and Windows connectivity. When selecting vLinker BM Plus, the body shape or the name 'vLinker' alone is not sufficient.

The device to be used for vLinker BM Plus, the application's official adapter list, the vehicle network, and the intended operation must be checked in sequence. The connection setting for vLinker BM Plus may not be valid for another variant; the firmware file should also not be transferred between models.

  • This model: Bluetooth LE and classic Bluetooth connection
  • Platform: iOS, Android, and Windows
  • Closest model: vLinker BM
  • Model name and firmware file must match exactly

Product details

Scenario 1: Initial connection and secure acceptance test

Upon receiving the vLinker BM Plus, first compare the model name on the box label with the one on the device. Connect the vLinker BM Plus securely to the vehicle's OBD socket in a parked vehicle and turn the ignition to the position specified by the manufacturer.

At this stage, the iPhone connection is initiated within the app; on Android, select vLinker BM-Android and use code 1234 if necessary. After the vLinker BM Plus reads the vehicle identification, save the existing codes without deleting them and briefly monitor a few basic live values.

If the vLinker BM Plus connection is unstable, do not proceed to the writing or coding menu. The vLinker BM Plus acceptance test separately shows hardware, phone connection, and vehicle profile communication.

  • Check the model label
  • Save the initial scan without deleting codes
  • Test connection stability with live data
  • Do not rush the writing process

Product details

Scenario 2: Comparing coding options offered by the app with vehicle hardware

The vLinker BM Plus can be used with a supported BMW F or G generation vehicle using an iPhone to compare the coding options offered by the app with the vehicle hardware. Before starting the vLinker BM Plus session, check the power status of the phone or computer, the vehicle's battery voltage, and the application license.

In the initial scan performed with the vLinker BM Plus, save the module list and the status of fault codes. Then, select only a few live values related to the issue on the screen of the application used with the vLinker BM Plus; a large number of parameters can reduce the data refresh rate.

The data obtained through the vLinker BM Plus does not solely indicate the cause of the fault; the electrical diagram, service procedure, and physical measurement determine the next step.

  • Prepare battery and device connection
  • Save the initial module list
  • Limit related live data
  • Verify data with physical inspection

Product details

Box contents and items to be purchased separately

The product description on Vgate's official vLinker BM Plus page shows the scope of one vLinker BM+ Bluetooth 4.0 adapter and user manual. The vLinker BM Plus package does not include a phone, tablet, Windows computer, paid application, or brand subscription.

When the vLinker BM Plus stock is reopened, check the device label, connection variant, and physical package before shipment; another vLinker model with a similar body is not a substitute for this product.

  • one vLinker BM+ Bluetooth 4.0 adapter and user manual
  • Phone or computer not included
  • Application and license not included
  • Model label must match the connection variant
