Works great with a 4Xe and is a must have.

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2024

Size: vLinker MC+ BLE4.0 - Android, iOS & WindowsVerified Purchase

When I bought my '24 Willys 4Xe I immediately had issues (CEL) and realized that I needed to know what DTC's were being thrown. Everyone in the Jeep world uses Jscan, so I wanted a BT dongle that would work with it. The Vgate vLinker MC+ works perfectly and instantly reveals all the codes that the 4Xe is happy to throw out--and it will clear them as well. An absolute must have with this vehicle.

Today I realized that I left the dongle plugged in to the OBD port the other day and was panicked that it might drain the 12 volt battery (very problematic with a 4Xe). Well, it didn't, it won't, it automatically shuts off a short while after you power down the vehicle. I plan to just keep it plugged in all the time (except for visits to the dealership, which I don't plan on very many!).

Just love this unit, soooo much less expensive than the OBD MC+.

Phone BT [BlueTooth] disconnect after initial BT pairing is correct [see review]

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2022

Size: vLinker MC+ BLE4.0 - Android, iOS & WindowsVerified Purchase

Product: Vgate vLinker MC+ Bluetooth OBD2 [bought Jan 2022] $60
Car: Mazda CX-5 2021
Test: OBD software 'FORScan Lite' v1.5.12.1 on 2 mobile phones [Android 12 & Android 10]

I thought there was a problem as, after following the instructions to pair phone with BT [i.e. select "vLinker MC-Android" in phone BT 'pair new device' settings], it prompted for the code [1234], then the BT would seem to connect...then disconnect about 2 secs later [according to phone] :-(. I was expecting it to stay connected [& now clicking the 'connect' button on phone BT does nothing]
Turns out this BT disconnecting is expected - the above pairing defines a new BT adaptor config in phone [for the MC+] and you now have to set your OBD software to use this config i.e. in my case run the FORScan software on phone then select 'Settings' / 'Bluetooth adaptor' & choose 'vLinker MC-Android'
[I left 'Settings' / 'Connection type' as 'Bluetooth 0']. When you click the FORScan icon to connect to MC+, it will then start this BT connection - only need to do this BT pairing once

I think VGate should update their instructions to indicate the BT disconnect is correct/normal [I almost returned mine]

FYI 1: When connect the MC+ to car socket, the MC+ power LED lights up solid red & the BT LED goes on/off every second [i.e. indicates that BT disconnected]. When click the button on front of MC+ [to enter BT pairing mode], the BT LED flashes rapidly [several times a sec] until pairing complete [then goes back to the 1 second on/off i.e. disconnected]. When connect with FORScan, the BT LED is solid blue [i.e. connected] - the OBD and Host LED flash rapidly only when pulling data
FYI 2: I can use BT to pair the phone to the car infotainment [e.g. to play music from phone to car] at the same time as FORScan is pulling live data from MC+. This may depend on phone
FYI 3: The FORScan software is only intuitive once you get the hang of it e.g. run it & BT connected to MC+ but NOT active [don't click the button that looks like play] so can then add items [called PID's] to monitor [e.g. speed, revs, oil pressure/temp...there are literally hundreds] - after adding PID's, only then click the play icon to actively get the vals of these PID's from car i.e. can't add PID's when in play mode

I'd expect other OBD software to work similarly i.e. need to pair MC+ to phone & then change the software config to use this connection. Remember, although the MC+ should work on most modern-ish cars [US >1996, Euro cars > 2004, OZ/NZ > 2006 etc] and some light trucks, the OBD software you choose usually only fully supports [i.e. a large range of PID's] on very specific car make [and to a lesser extent model/year] e.g. FORScan is for "Ford, Mazda, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles"

I got this OBD scanner as vLinker series seem to be well supported by OBD software [so less chance of 'issues'], it supports additional protocols [future proofing & use on other car makes], can connect using android/iOS/laptop [only tested first], and has a faster transfer rate [baud equiv of 500kbps - about double that of cheaper OBD readers]

Overall, the MC+ seems to do what it says on the tin!

Nice, small form factor. I got it to connect one time via bluetooth. It never connected again. I tried following the instruction and that didn't help. Bluetooth is pretty simple to connect, and it shouldn't be this hard (or impossible). And this was with an Android, not Apple. UPDATE: I updated it to four stars. Customer service was prompt and very helpful. I got it working and it works great!

Used this to install a brake controller on my ram 1500. Works with iOS, but do not try to connect to it with Bluetooth. If using the JScan app, you need to set it to Bluetooth LE mode and the app will find it for you. Probably works similar on other apps.

Product does not connect reliably. It is now bricked after trying an update.

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023

Size: vLinker MC+ BLE4.0 - Android, iOS & WindowsVerified Purchase

This product does not enumerate correctly (says iOS), does not maintain a link when connected with Android (which it's supposed to do) and does not have a reset option in the event of a firmware update failure. Powered it up, scanned the QR code for a firmware update, went to the Chinese site, allowed permission, started a FW update and it stopped at approximately 75%. It displayed a red X for the update and now the unit is bricked. All but the BT/BLE LED is on and the unit won't recover so I can attempt the FW update again. Totally frustrating and a waste of $60.00. I am outside of the return window so now I have to find another reputable unit that actually works. Bummer.

Perfect and SUPER quick delivery! there are 2 types, but same device

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2022

Size: vLinker MC+ BLE4.0 - Android, iOS & WindowsVerified Purchase

Wow! - Prompt delivery.
I was scratching my head as I saw 2 devices, both stating "Vgate vLinker MC+".
Being abroad, for the safe side I went with the +- $10 higher one.
Upon receiving unit I beleive it is now clear. Company has -only for the US- some actual "Vgate vLinker MC+" but set inside the older casing model (and lower in price) as well as the same one, still in black, with new casing (not that there is much difference as far as I can tell).
So I did not buy the cheaper, but with this one I am very happy. Loved that with Bluetooth 4.0 my phone self-connects and gets started (in my case, with a Jeep, I went for JScan (paid at $23) and along this device I couldn't be happier; quick pinpointing of issues, historical data on car issues -but no dates- and intuitive use all throughout... way more data than I needed anyway).
I am happy with this device and consider its availability is offered at a very reasonable cost. It even paid for itself by not purchasing 4 sensors (2 speed & 2 Oxygen) and just replacing the one of each reported in flaw. Happy camper.

I’m leaving my original review at the bottom, BUT the Amazon seller made it right. Very happy with my replacement and this seller’s customer service! 10/10 on their part for replacing my unit when the manufacturer would not even respond. Highly recommend this seller!

While I received one that only worked 3 times before it crapped out, I emailed customer service with no response. My buddy’s worked fine without issue and I just got a new one to replace it and it works fine so far. 1* for crappy customer service. Hope yours works without issue and my new one lasts.

Works just as well and is as fast as the more expensive OBDLink LX

It's connected to my Prius Prime to read the real time data from the Hybrid Assistant app. I had my Model 3 OBDLink LX installed at first and this vLinker polls data just as fast and read all the ECU data that Hybrid Assistant pulls from the car. I returned the OBDLink to my Model 3 and very satisfied with this vLinker. I tried a veePeak first and for almost the same price, it's not even comparable to the vLinker. It was slow and couldn't pull all the data.
