What is vLinker FD for?
vLinker FD establishes a data connection between the vehicle's OBD socket and compatible software running on Android and Windows; no iPhone support. When vLinker FD connects to a general OBD2 application, engine and emission codes, readiness monitors, and supported live data can be read.
The appearance of brand-specific modules or coding options via vLinker FD depends on the application supporting this vehicle and control unit. vLinker FD does not have 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 connection specified by the manufacturer for vLinker FD is Bluetooth 3.0 connection; the supported platform description is Android and Windows; no iPhone support. During the initial setup of vLinker FD, select vLinker FD from the Android Bluetooth list, enter the code 1234, and enable the Bluetooth adapter setting in the application.
Even if vLinker FD appears in the phone's connection menu, data exchange with the vehicle has not started. vLinker FD is selected with the correct adapter type within the application; code deletion or setting changes are not made without reading the ignition status and the 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 Ford's MS-CAN network in addition to standard OBD-II protocols for the vLinker FD hardware. Although vLinker FD communicates with supported vehicle networks, the application used may not recognize every module in the vehicle.
The presence of MS-CAN on FD does not mean that programming or configuration operations in FORScan are safe and open for every vehicle. Reading fault codes with vLinker FD is not at the same risk level as configuration or programming; writing operations require the vehicle battery, module selection, application license, and rollback record separately.
On the voltage side, the manufacturer's description for FD covers 12V OBD2 vehicles; 24V heavy-duty vehicle use is not specified.
- 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 FD+
Although vLinker FD and vLinker FD+ are in the same vLinker family, they are not the same variant. The main distinction between these two models is: FD+ adds iOS support and Bluetooth LE; FD works only on Android and Windows. When selecting vLinker FD, the body shape or the name "vLinker" alone is not sufficient.
The device to be used for vLinker FD, the application's official adapter list, the vehicle network, and the intended operation are checked in sequence. The vLinker FD connection setting may not be valid for another variant; the firmware file should also not be transferred between models.
- This model: Bluetooth 3.0 connection
- Platform: Android and Windows; no iPhone support
- Closest model: vLinker FD+
- Model name and firmware file must match exactly
Product details
Scenario 1: Initial connection and secure acceptance test
Upon receiving the vLinker FD, first compare the model name on the device with the box label. The vLinker FD is plugged into the OBD socket of the safely parked vehicle, and the ignition is turned to the position specified by the manufacturer.
At this stage, select vLinker FD from the Android Bluetooth list, enter the code 1234, and enable the Bluetooth adapter setting in the application. After vLinker FD reads the vehicle identification, the existing codes are saved without deletion, and a few basic live values are monitored briefly. If the vLinker FD connection is unstable, do not proceed to the write or coding menu.
The vLinker FD 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: Testing the correct Bluetooth channel before reading fault codes and live data
vLinker FD can be used to test the correct Bluetooth channel before reading fault codes and live data on a supported Ford model using an Android phone. Before starting a vLinker FD session, check the phone or computer's power status, the vehicle's battery voltage, and the application license.
In the first scan with vLinker FD, the module list and the status of fault codes are recorded. Then, select only a few live values related to the complaint on the screen of the application used with vLinker FD; a large number of parameters can reduce the data refresh rate.
The data obtained through vLinker FD does not indicate the cause of the fault alone; 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 page shows the scope of one vLinker FD Bluetooth 3.0 adapter and user manual. The vLinker FD package does not include a phone, tablet, Windows computer, paid application, or brand subscription.
When the vLinker FD stock is reopened, the device label, connection variant, and physical package are checked before shipment; another vLinker model with a similar body is not used in place of this product.
