1. はじめに
The Vgate vLinker FS is an advanced automotive diagnostic tool designed to interface with your vehicle's On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD2) system. It allows users to access the Engine Control Unit (ECU) and other vehicle modules for troubleshooting, configuration modifications, and accessing hidden features through compatible third-party software.
This device supports the OBD2 standard, making it compatible with most vehicles manufactured in 1996 and later for the U.S. market, and 2000 (EU-based) or 2005 (Asia-based) for other regions. It is recommended for use with FORScan software.
