Product information
What is the Vgate vLinker BM Bluetooth OBD2 Adapter used for?
The vLinker BM is a screenless vehicle communication adapter designed for individuals who will use BMW applications with an Android phone or Windows computer. Compared to the vLinker BM+, the BM is oriented only towards Android and Windows, while the BM+ also provides iOS support via Bluetooth LE.
This distinction affects not only the convenience of connection for the vLinker BM 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: The BMW-focused name does not imply that all coding options are available for all BMW and MINI generations.
The vLinker BM 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 BMW applications with an Android phone or Windows computer
- Users of one of the Android and Windows devices; iPhone support is not available

Product details
What is vLinker BM used for?
The vLinker BM establishes a data connection between the vehicle's OBD socket and compatible software running on Android and Windows; iPhone support is not available. When connected to a general OBD2 application, the vLinker BM 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 depends on the application's support for that vehicle and control unit. The vLinker BM 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 is Bluetooth 3.0 connection; the supported platform description is Android and Windows; iPhone support is not available. For the initial setup of vLinker BM, select vLinker BM-Android from the Android Bluetooth list, enter code 1234 if prompted, and re-select the adapter within the application.
Even if the vLinker BM appears in the phone's connection menu, data exchange with the vehicle has not begun. The vLinker BM 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 3.0 connection
- Platform
- Android and Windows; iPhone support is not available
- Application
- Installed and licensed separately
Product details
Protocol coverage and technical limitations
Vgate specifies support for data transfer focused on BMW applications with standard OBD-II protocols for the vLinker BM hardware. Although the vLinker BM communicates with supported vehicle networks, the application used may not recognize every module in the vehicle.
The BMW-focused name does not imply that all coding options are available for all BMW and MINI generations. Reading fault codes with vLinker BM 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 page describes 12 V OBD2/EOBD vehicle use and excludes 24 V heavy-duty vehicles.
- Verified scope: standard OBD-II protocols and data transmission used in BMW-specific applications
- 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

Key difference with vLinker BM+
Although the vLinker BM and vLinker BM+ are in the same vLinker family, they are not the same variant. The key distinction between these two models is: the BM is geared towards Android and Windows only, while the BM+ also offers iOS support via Bluetooth LE.
When selecting the vLinker BM, the housing shape or the name "vLinker" alone is not sufficient. The device to be used for the vLinker BM is checked sequentially against the app's official adapter list, vehicle network, and the intended operation. The vLinker BM connection setting may not be valid for another variant; firmware files should also not be transferred between models.
- This model: Bluetooth 3.0 connection
- Platform: Android and Windows; no iPhone support
- 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, first compare the model name on the box label with the one on the device. The vLinker BM is plugged into the vehicle's OBD socket, parked safely, and the ignition is turned to the manufacturer's specified position.
At this stage, select vLinker BM-Android from the Android Bluetooth list, enter the code 1234 if prompted, and re-select the adapter within the app. After the vLinker BM reads the vehicle identification, save the current codes without deleting them and briefly monitor a few basic live values.
If the vLinker BM connection is unstable, do not proceed to the write or coding menu. The vLinker BM acceptance test separately displays 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: Reading the control units shown by the app and saving the current settings
The vLinker BM can be used with an Android phone on a supported BMW or MINI model to read the control units shown by the app and save the current settings. Before starting a vLinker BM session, check the power status of the phone or computer, the vehicle's battery voltage, and the app license.
The first scan with the vLinker BM records the module list and the status of fault codes. Then, on the screen of the app used with the vLinker BM, select only a few live values related to the complaint; a large number of parameters can reduce the data refresh rate.
Data obtained through the vLinker BM does not solely indicate the cause of the fault; the wiring 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 page shows the scope of one vLinker BM Bluetooth adapter and user manual. The vLinker BM package does not include a phone, tablet, Windows computer, paid app, or brand subscription.
When the vLinker BM stock is reopened, the device label, connection variant, and physical package are checked before shipment; another vLinker model with a similar housing cannot be used in place of this product.
- one vLinker BM Bluetooth adapter and user manual
- Phone or computer not included
- Application and license not included
- Model label must match the connection variant
