Vgate vLinker FS OBD2 USB Adapter for FORScan HS/MS-CAN Auto Switch

Works great and works even with the latest Windows 11 updates. Solid product and worth the money.

I bought the Vgate vLinker FS OBD2 adapter specifically because it’s the recommended choice for AlfaOBD, and it has performed flawlessly. Setup was easy, and the connection is fast and stable. I’ve also used it with FORScan, and it works just as well there—no dropped connections or lag. It reads data quickly and reliably, making it a great tool for diagnostics and programming. Build quality feels solid, and it’s been trouble-free so far. If you need a reliable adapter for AlfaOBD or FORScan, this one is a great choice.

Great build quality and works with no issues. Fast data transfer!

This works perfect. Connected with no problem on windows 11. Tried a different brand first and it would not work.

I bought this for use with Forscan as my old adapter was no longer recommended by Forscan, and it was a manual switch. This works perfectly, is much faster and best of all I don't have to flip a switch over and over while playing around in the program.

Unit works well ONLY if you download the appropriate drivers. The user Richard A. Tait has left a review here that was TREMENDOUSLY helpful in getting my setup up and running. Seller should be clear about setup instructions and not rely on random users educating their customers. Took 2 stars off for that. The website where the drivers are located could be alot less convoluted too.

I bought this to use with my computer while running forscan, It connects with the car and works perfectly.

If you use FORScan or intend to use FORScan, this is the connector to have. This is the least expensive of the recommended connectors, but I can't yet figure out why. But let's get into my experience with is thus far. It arrived earlier than initially estimated which is a good thing. In the box was the connector and a bi-fold user manual labelled as "Getting Started". My first reaction of this document is that what should have been the front, was at the back, and what should have been at the back, at the front. Odd, but easily overlooked. The connector itself looks very well put together and has some amount of style to it. It's not just a brick with lights and a wire coming out of it. It's somewhat ergonomic and the plastic seems to be of good quality non-shiny material. Like I said, no idea why it's the cheapest.One thing I will say is that this is not plug-and-play. It requires you to download and install a driver from a website, which the manual does a good job of directing you to. This is where things got a little confusing because the manual doesn't tell you specifically which driver to install, except to say "Please select the driver according to your computer system." On the website where you download the driver, a table populated with different links for different systems had a row for Windows, and a column for 32-bit and 64-bit. I installed it on a Windows 10 64-bit machine, so I clicked on the link for that driver. It was actually a zipped file. That's fine if I wanted to manually install the various bits and pieces. Pass on that. The actual executable (.exe) file that does everything automatically, was all the way over in the "Comments" column, labelled as "setup executable". I clicked on that and the prompt to download the .exe file popped up and so on. When it was finished, I ran the file and everything installed without a hitch. Now that I think about it, perhaps this is why it's the cheapest. It's not plug-and-play.If you haven't already installed FORScan you can do so. See their website for your download options.After you've done that just plug the connector into the laptop and then run FORScan. The manual for the connector says to connect it to the car before you open FORScan, but doing that resulted in an error and FORScan closing. I recommend you connect it to the OBDII port after FORSCan has already opened.This connector works seamlessly with FORScan and allows high speed (HS) CAN bus and medium speed (MS) CAN bus modules to be read simultaneously because it switches back and forth automatically. Highly recommended!
