Product information
What is the Vgate vLinker FD+ Bluetooth OBD2 Adapter used for?
The vLinker FD Plus is an un-screened vehicle communication adapter designed for individuals who will use FORScan and general OBD applications with an iPhone or Android.
Compared to the vLinker FS Bluetooth, the conclusion is: the FD+ is in the more basic 500 Kbps class; the FS Bluetooth offers additional FORScan-focused hardware such as 3 Mbps connection, 4K request, and 18 V FEPS output.
This distinction affects not only the connection convenience for the vLinker FD Plus but also the usable applications and accessible vehicle networks. The following limitation applies to the selection of the vLinker FD Plus: although Vgate specifies FORScan usage for the FD+, FORScan's current recommended list indicates the FS family for critical operations.
The vLinker FD Plus does not diagnose faults on its own; the codes and data carried by the adapter are interpreted with service procedures, physical checks, and measurements if necessary.
What would you buy this for?
- Individuals who will use FORScan and general OBD applications with iPhone or Android
- Users of one of the iOS, Android, and Windows devices
- Those who verify the need for the Ford MS-CAN network in addition to standard OBD-II protocols from the app documentation for the vLinker FD Plus
- Users who accept the un-screened adapter and separate app setup with the vLinker FD Plus

Product details
What is the vLinker FD Plus used for?
The vLinker FD 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 FD Plus can read engine and emission codes, readiness monitors, and supported live values.
The visibility of brand-specific modules or coding options through the vLinker FD Plus depends on the app supporting that vehicle and control unit. The vLinker FD 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 manufacturer's specified connection for the vLinker FD Plus is Bluetooth LE and classic Bluetooth connection; the supported platform description is iOS, Android, and Windows. During the initial setup of the vLinker FD Plus, the iPhone connection is initiated from within the app; on Android, select vLinker FD-Android and enter the code 1234 if necessary.
Even if the vLinker FD Plus appears in the phone's connection menu, data exchange with the vehicle is not considered initiated. The vLinker FD Plus is selected with the correct adapter type within the app; code deletion or setting changes are not made before the ignition status and initial vehicle profile are read.
- 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 the Ford MS-CAN network in addition to standard OBD-II protocols for the vLinker FD Plus hardware. Although the vLinker FD Plus communicates with supported vehicle networks, the application used may not recognize every module in the vehicle.
Although Vgate specifies FORScan usage for the FD+, FORScan's current recommended list indicates the FS family for critical operations.
Reading fault codes with the vLinker FD Plus is not at the same risk level as configuration or programming; writing operations require the vehicle battery, module selection, app license, and a rollback record separately.
On the voltage side, the manufacturer's FD+ page focuses on passenger car OBD2 use; 24 V support should not be assumed for this model.
- Verified scope: Ford MS-CAN network in addition to 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

Key difference with vLinker FS Bluetooth
Although the vLinker FD Plus and vLinker FS Bluetooth are in the same vLinker family, they are not the same variant.
The key distinction between these two models is: the FD+ is in the more basic 500 Kbps class; the FS Bluetooth offers additional FORScan-focused hardware such as 3 Mbps connection, 4K request, and 18 V FEPS output. When selecting the vLinker FD Plus, the housing shape or the name "vLinker" alone is not sufficient.
The device to be used for the vLinker FD Plus is checked sequentially against the app's official adapter list, vehicle network, and the intended operation. The vLinker FD Plus connection setting may not be valid for another variant; firmware files should also not be transferred between models.
- This model: Bluetooth LE and classic Bluetooth connection
- Platform: iOS, Android, and Windows
- Closest model: vLinker FS Bluetooth
- Model name and firmware file must match exactly
Product details
Scenario 1: Initial connection and secure acceptance test
Upon receiving the vLinker FD Plus, first compare the model name on the box label with the one on the device. The vLinker FD Plus is plugged into the vehicle's OBD socket, parked safely, and the ignition is turned to the manufacturer's specified position.
At this stage, the iPhone connection is initiated from within the app; on Android, select vLinker FD-Android and enter the code 1234 if prompted. After the vLinker FD Plus reads the vehicle identification, save the current codes without deleting them and briefly monitor a few basic live values.
If the vLinker FD Plus connection is unstable, do not proceed to the write or coding menu. The vLinker FD Plus 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: Scanning modules visible on HS-CAN and MS-CAN without disconnecting
The vLinker FD Plus can be used with a phone on a supported Ford or Mazda vehicle to scan modules visible on HS-CAN and MS-CAN without disconnecting. Before starting a vLinker FD Plus 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 FD Plus records the module list and the status of fault codes. Then, on the screen of the app used with the vLinker FD Plus, 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 FD Plus 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 FD Plus page shows the scope of one vLinker FD+ Bluetooth 4.0 adapter and user manual. The vLinker FD Plus package does not include a phone, tablet, Windows computer, paid app, or brand subscription.
When the vLinker FD Plus 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 FD+ Bluetooth 4.0 adapter and user manual
- Phone or computer not included
