Vgate vLinker BM+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner for BMW & OBD2, iOS Android Windows, Coding & Live Data

Compact and engineered for reliable wireless diagnostics, the Vgate vLinker BM+ connects to your vehicle's OBD2 port and communicates with popular apps like BimmerCode, Carly, BimmerLink, Torque Pro, and other ELM327-compatible software. It supports high-speed data transfers and low-power standby so you can perform everything from fault-code reads and resets to module coding without repeated trips to the dealer.

How will the vLinker BM+ simplify routine diagnostics?

Use the vLinker BM+ to read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), view live sensor data, and reset maintenance lights from your phone. Its upgraded buffer and TP protocol support help reduce lag during sustained data streams, which is useful for real-time monitoring and comprehensive scans.

• Read/erase engine and system trouble codes with compatible apps.
• Stream live PID data for performance checks and troubleshooting.
• Reset service indicators and simple maintenance reminders.
• Stable Bluetooth connection for extended diagnostic sessions.

Can I use the vLinker BM+ for BMW coding with BimmerCode?

Yes—vLinker BM+ is built to work with BimmerCode and other coding apps, but note platform differences for older BMWs. For E/R-series BMWs produced in 2008 or earlier, BimmerCode on Android offers more complete connectivity; newer BMWs and most other makes will work well on both iOS and Android.

• Supports module coding and adaptations through BimmerCode (Android recommended for older BMWs).
• Compatible with Carly, BimmerLink and other BMW-focused apps.
• Handles larger data packets needed for coding operations.
• Check your app developer’s compatibility notes before coding.

Is it safe to leave the adapter plugged in all the time?

Yes—the vLinker BM+ is designed for long-term use with safety features and low standby draw. An ultra-low 3 mA sleep current and automatic power-saving mode mean it won’t noticeably drain your vehicle battery, while internal protection limits risk from voltage spikes, excessive current, or overheating.

• Ultra-low power consumption in sleep mode (about 3 mA).
• Automatic power-saving and sleep-wake behavior for convenience.
• Built-in over-voltage, over-current, and thermal protections.
• Suitable for fleet monitoring and long-term plugged-in scenarios.

Which apps and vehicles are compatible with this adapter?

The vLinker BM+ works with most ELM327-compatible apps and a wide range of OBD2 vehicles, including BMW, Mini, Mercedes, Audi, VW and many others. Compatibility depends on your chosen app and vehicle model year—always verify app support for specific modules and functions before purchase.

• Works with BimmerCode, Carly, BimmerLink, Torque Pro and many ELM327 apps.
• Supports OBD2-compliant cars across many makes and model years.
• Windows, iOS, and Android connections supported (older BMWs may need Android for full features).
• High-speed data handling improves reliability for coding and diagnostics.

Who is this for: The Vgate vLinker BM+ is ideal for BMW and Mini owners who want the ability to read codes, monitor sensors, and perform module coding at a fraction of dealer costs. It also suits DIY mechanics, car enthusiasts, and fleet managers who need a robust, low-power OBD2 Bluetooth interface that works with the leading diagnostic and coding apps on iOS, Android, and Windows.
