Product information
What is the Vgate vLinker MC Bluetooth OBD2 Adapter used for?
The vLinker MC is an ekranless vehicle communication adapter designed for users seeking SW-CAN and MS-CAN access on Android or Windows. Compared to the vLinker MC+, the MC+ adds iOS support; the MC model is limited to Android and Windows connectivity.
This distinction affects not only the convenience of connection for the vLinker MC but also the applications that can be used and the vehicle networks that can be accessed. The following limitation applies to the selection of the vLinker MC: SW-CAN and MS-CAN hardware does not indicate that the application automatically supports GM or Ford specific modules.
The vLinker MC does not diagnose faults 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?
- Users seeking SW-CAN and MS-CAN access on Android or Windows
- Users of one of the Android and Windows devices; iPhone support is not available
- Those who confirm the need for SW-CAN for GM and MS-CAN for Ford in addition to standard OBD-II protocols from the application documentation for vLinker MC
- Users who accept the ekranless adapter and separate application setup with vLinker MC
Featured diagnostic features
- Bluetooth 3.0 connection
- Operating system: Android and Windows; iPhone support is not available
- Protocol scope: In addition to standard OBD-II protocols, SW-CAN for GM and MS-CAN for Ford

Product details
What is the vLinker MC used for?
The vLinker MC establishes a data connection between the vehicle's OBD socket and compatible software running on Android and Windows; no iPhone support. When the vLinker MC 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 the vLinker MC depends on the application's support for this vehicle and control unit. The vLinker MC itself 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 the vLinker MC is Bluetooth 3.0 connection; the supported platform description is Android and Windows; no iPhone support. For the initial setup of the vLinker MC, press the black button on the adapter, pair the vLinker MC name with Android, and enter the code 1234 if necessary.
Even if the vLinker MC appears in the phone's connection menu, data exchange with the vehicle has not begun. The vLinker MC must be selected with the correct adapter type within the application; code deletion or setting changes should not be 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 SW-CAN for GM and MS-CAN for Ford in addition to standard OBD-II protocols for the vLinker MC hardware. Although the vLinker MC communicates with supported vehicle networks, the application used may not recognize every module in the vehicle.
The presence of SW-CAN and MS-CAN hardware does not indicate that the application automatically supports GM or Ford specific modules. Reading fault codes with the vLinker MC is not at the same risk level as configuration or programming; writing operations require vehicle battery, module selection, application license, and a rollback record.
On the voltage side, the manufacturer's MC description shows 12V OBD2 vehicle use and states that it does not support 24V heavy-duty vehicles.
- Verified scope: In addition to standard OBD-II protocols, SW-CAN for GM and MS-CAN for Ford
- 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
Main difference with vLinker MC+
Although the vLinker MC and vLinker MC+ are in the same vLinker family, they are not the same variant. The main difference between these two models is: MC+ adds iOS support; the MC model is limited to Android and Windows connectivity. When selecting the vLinker MC, the body shape or the name "vLinker" alone is not sufficient.
The device to be used for the vLinker MC, the application's official adapter list, the vehicle network, and the intended operation should be checked in sequence. The vLinker MC connection setting may not be valid for another variant; firmware files should not be transferred between models.
- This model: Bluetooth 3.0 connection
- Platform: Android and Windows; no iPhone support
- Closest model: vLinker MC+
- Model name and firmware file must match exactly
Product details
Scenario 1: Initial connection and secure acceptance test
Upon receiving the vLinker MC, first compare the model name on the device with the box label. The vLinker MC is plugged into the OBD socket of the safely parked vehicle, and the ignition is turned to the manufacturer's specified position.
At this stage, press the black button on the adapter, pair the vLinker MC name with Android, and enter the code 1234 if necessary. After the vLinker MC reads the vehicle identification, save the existing codes without deleting them and briefly monitor a few basic live values. If the vLinker MC connection is unstable, do not proceed to the write or coding menu.
The vLinker MC acceptance test separately indicates 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: Differentiating between general OBD2 data and brand-specific networks accessible by the application
The vLinker MC can be used with an Android phone on a supported Ford or GM vehicle to differentiate between general OBD2 data and brand-specific networks accessible by the application. Before starting a vLinker MC session, check the power status of the phone or computer, the vehicle's battery voltage, and the application license.
The first scan with the vLinker MC records the module list and the status of fault codes. Then, select only a few live values related to the complaint on the screen of the application used with the vLinker MC; a large number of parameters can reduce the data refresh rate.
The data obtained via the vLinker MC does not alone indicate the cause of the fault; electrical diagrams, service procedures, and physical measurements 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 MC page shows one vLinker MC Bluetooth 3.0 adapter and the user manual. The vLinker MC package does not include a phone, tablet, Windows computer, paid application, or brand subscription.
When the vLinker MC stock is reopened, the device label, connection variant, and physical package are checked before shipment; another vLinker model with a similar body cannot be used instead of this product.
- One vLinker MC Bluetooth 3.0 adapter and user manual
- Phone or computer not included
- Application and license not included
- Model label must match the connection variant
