Product details
What is the vLinker FS USB used for?
The vLinker FS USB establishes a data connection between the vehicle's OBD socket and compatible software running on Windows; limited mobile use in a suitable USB-OTG arrangement must also be verified. When the vLinker FS USB is connected to a general OBD2 application, engine and emission codes, readiness monitors, and supported live values can be read.
The visibility of brand-specific modules or coding options via the vLinker FS USB depends on the application supporting this tool and the ECU. The vLinker FS USB does not have a built-in screen, its own diagnostic software, or 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 FS USB is a wired USB 2.0/3.0 connection; the supported platform description is Windows; limited mobile use in a suitable USB-OTG arrangement must also be verified.
During the initial setup of the vLinker FS USB, the adapter is connected to the OBD socket and the USB port of the Windows computer; the driver, firmware, and FORScan connection type are checked on the manufacturer's page. Even if the vLinker FS USB appears in the phone's connection menu, data exchange with the vehicle has not yet begun.
The vLinker FS USB is selected with the correct adapter type within the application; code deletion or setting changes are not made before the ignition status and initial vehicle profile are read.
- Connection
- USB 2.0/3.0 wired connection
- Platform
- Windows; limited mobile use in a suitable USB-OTG arrangement must also be verified
- Application
- Installed and licensed separately

Protocol coverage and technical limitations
Vgate explains the support for electronic switching between HS-CAN and MS-CAN, 18 V FEPS output, and OBD request length over 4K for the vLinker FS USB hardware. Although the vLinker FS USB communicates with supported vehicle networks, the application used may not recognize every module in the vehicle.
A stable USB connection does not eliminate the risk of incorrect firmware or unsupported module programming. Reading fault codes with the vLinker FS USB 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 separately.
On the voltage side, the manufacturer specifies 12 V and 24 V OBD2 vehicle support for the FS USB; FORScan operations with the vehicle protocol must be checked separately.
- Verified scope: Electronic switching between HS-CAN and MS-CAN, 18 V FEPS output, and OBD request length over 4K
- 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
Key difference with vLinker FS Bluetooth
Although the vLinker FS USB and vLinker FS Bluetooth are in the same vLinker family, they are not the same variant. The main difference between these two models is: FS USB is wired and Windows-oriented; FS Bluetooth provides wireless use on iOS, Android, and Windows.
When selecting the vLinker FS USB, the body shape or the name 'vLinker' alone is not sufficient. The device to be used for the vLinker FS USB, the application's official adapter list, the vehicle network, and the intended operation are checked in sequence.
The vLinker FS USB connection setting may not be valid on another variant; the firmware file should also not be transferred between models.
- This model: Wired USB 2.0/3.0 connection
- Platform: Windows; limited mobile use in a suitable USB-OTG arrangement must also be verified
- 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 FS USB, the model name on the device is first compared with the box label. The vLinker FS USB is plugged into the OBD socket of the securely parked vehicle, and the ignition is turned to the position specified by the manufacturer.
At this stage, the adapter is connected to the OBD socket and the USB port of the Windows computer; the driver, firmware, and FORScan connection type are checked on the manufacturer's page. After the vLinker FS USB reads the vehicle identification, existing codes are saved without deletion, and a few basic live values are monitored briefly.
If the vLinker FS USB connection is unstable, do not proceed to the write or coding menu. The vLinker FS USB 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: Obtaining the initial connection record before FORScan module scan and configuration
The vLinker FS USB can be used with a Windows computer on a supported Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, or Mazda vehicle to obtain the initial connection record before FORScan module scan and configuration. Before the vLinker FS USB session begins, the power status of the phone or computer, the vehicle's battery voltage, and the application license are checked.
The initial scan with the vLinker FS USB records the module list and the status of fault codes. Then, only a few live values related to the complaint are selected on the screen of the application used with the vLinker FS USB; a large number of parameters can reduce the data refresh rate.
The data obtained via the vLinker FS USB 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 FS USB page shows one wired vLinker FS USB adapter and the user manual scope. The vLinker FS USB package does not include a phone, tablet, Windows computer, paid application, or brand subscription.
When the vLinker FS USB stock is reopened, the device label, connection variant, and physical package are checked before shipment; another vLinker model with a similar body will not be used in place of this product.
- One wired vLinker FS USB adapter and user manual
- Phone or computer not included
- Application and license not included
- Model label must match the connection variant
