VLINKER FS OBD2 Scanner OBDII USB Adapter Code Reader Diagnostic Tool for FORScan with HS/MS-CAN Auto Switch

As the title says, this is a must-have for any Ford DIY mechanic. It's very easy to use and works very well with Ford OBD2 programs. The fact that it automatically switches from Ms scan to HS scan and vice versa is wonderful. The protocol that this uses makes any updates and usage very easy when working on a vehicle. I personally used it to flash a firmware update during an ECM swap. Everything went flawlessly and I have recommended it to several people already. The price is also extremely reasonable and when combined with the Ford diagnostic programs available to consumers, this is a no-brainer.

I bought this to replace the old style with the toggle switch on it. So far it has worked exactly as one would hope. I used it for several friend and family vehicles as well (Nobody likes the ridiculous stop/start. Side note: my opinion is that everyone should disable that function. It doesn't help anything and wears your parts out faster. Just my thoughts). FYI if you haven't used FORscan yet, make sure you do your research and don't change anything if you don't know exactly what it does. You can seriously screw up your vehicle! Anyway, I would definitely buy this unit

Great product, arrived on time without any damage. I have only used it once with Forscan to program EPSM (fully electronic rack and pinion/first time ever doing such a job) works great.

This worked well on my Mustang Mach-E to make changes to some of the module configurations. Initially the OBD2 scanner wasn't recognized on my 16" MacBook Pro running Windows 10 under bootcamp. Reading online I found that some people had luck using a USB2 hub between the computer and the OBD2 scanner. Once i did that it worked. It seems the scanner cannot negotiate with the USB C port on the MacBook without an intermediate hub. If you're using the scanner with a traditional Windows laptop, you're unlikely to have this issue.

I used it along with the licensed version of FORSCAN beta 2.4 on my windows 10 laptop. Was able to download as built data into a used ECM and also successfully programmed PATS using the keys already had. So for less than the cost of a preprogrammed PCM From a rebuilder I went to a junk yard to get a used ECM then used this Dongle with ForSCAN (must be the paid license version and beta software for 04-08 fords at least in my finding) and I downloaded the calibrations out of the bad original ECM, then installed them onto the junkyard unit all using this device from Amazon it was well worth the cost. Could be used for customizing features and calibration as well but the 04-08 style ECMs do not offer much aside from 4x4 gear ratio and tire size settings for the Speedo calibration. Newer trucks have much more capability with this tool combined with the software forscan.. Oh and it isn't exactly fail proof there is potential to brick your PCM and I recommend you have significant knowledge with technology and how computers work and know how easy one can suddenly be rendered not to work without literally having to take it to a dealer or someone with more specialty tools and highly expensive ford licensed software

Lo compré para usar en el programa FORSCAN y tiene total compatibilidad con muchos vehículos de FORD y similares, conexión muy estable y no toca cambiar el tipo de conexión como con otros escáneres más económicos, lo mejor de todo es que se puede actualizar su firmware para mejorar conectividad o corregir errores. Lo usé para actualizar todos los firmware de un Ford Focus SE 2014 Automático y calibrar la caja doble embrague y funcionó perfecto

works... took forever to figure out the right driver to actually use it... entirely useless instructions... what else should I expect though from something this cheap? OK it does work. 3 stars.

Worked very well on my Ford Ranger. My husband got bigger tires and we needed to adjust the speedometer. Very easy to use.

Funciona perfectamente con Forscan.

Works. 100% with Forscan.

Bought specifically for use with forscan software to diagnose issues with a 2016 mazda 3. I've had issues with some obd devices in the past, but this one just works every time. It stays in the glove box and has had zero connection issues despite being dropped and plugged/unplugged multiple times over the last year. The automatic switching between speeds works and has never been an issue. It paid for itself when proving to the dealership that they messed up on a recall that required flashing a new fbcm.

Funktioniert einwandfrei.das hat mir und mein Auto extra geholfen. Es verbindet sich ohne Zögern mit der Anwendung und agiert dabei sehr professionell.

Bought this to use with FORScan on my Ford Focus and it’s been awesome. Plugged it into my laptop, FORScan picked it up right away. No driver issues, no messing around. The automatic HS/MS-CAN switch is super handy—saves time and makes everything smoother. I’ve used it for reading codes, checking modules, and even doing some customizations. If you’re working on a Ford or Mazda, this adapter is a no-brainer. Great value and does exactly what it’s supposed to!
