Product description
Don’t Need Wireless? We’ve Got You Covered!
Why pay for Bluetooth or Wi-Fi technology when you don’t need it? The new USB-Link 3: Wired Edition provides a secure connection with all the same great features, and speed, as our wireless versions. And it’s compatible with the same wide range of OEM software applications too. A wired vehicle communication interface is also handy to have on hand when Internet connectivity is not available (for example, when you need to service a vehicle in the field, or in a remote part of your lot).

About the USB-Link 3
The Nexiq USB-Link 3 PC-to-vehicle interface is compatible with multiple software applications, minimizing your investment in multiple brand-specific diagnostic interfaces. The USB-Link 3 vehicle communication interface (VCI) comes standard with sixteen times more random access memory than previous versions, and they support heavier bus loads on simultaneous channels.
