VLinker vs OBDLink EX

[giovanni1]

New to Forscan here so wanted to get other opinions. Looks like there is a conciderable difference in cost. Any advice on which to choose is appreciated. Not sure about the limitations (if any) on the Vlinker?

I have the vlinker and it has done everything i want to do.

+1 for the vlinker. With forscan and vlinker, I’ve been able to read codes, reset the adaptive transmission, turn off auto stop start, and program an additional key. Haven’t run into any issues.

I think the VLinker is a toss up - some report issues with it (Loading) all modules - it may only be related to the Firmware - Driver as far as OBD Link —Ex , I have no issues at all and most others experience the same.
For me it was spend the extra and get something that has a better review of use.

+1 for the vLinker. I've had no issue loading and modifying values from a variety of different control modules.

- Enable Bambi mode
- Adjust tire size
- Swap startup screens animations
- Disable auto start/stop
- Disable door/startup chimes
- Disable fake engine sounds
- Disable active noise cancellation
