Functions:

 

1. Vehicle Coverage: Supports models from 1996 to 2025 (Actual coverage depends on the OEM software.).

2. Diagnostic Functions: Supports Reading/Clearing Fault Codes, Reading Data Stream, Performing Active Tests, Generating Detection Reports, etc.

3. Special Functions: Fully supports special functions as provided by OEM software - same as at the dealership.

4. Freeze Frame Data: Allows real-time analysis of fault causes and recreates failure scenarios to avoid misdiagnosis.

5. Online Programming: Supports online coding and programming functions.

6. Additional OEM Software Features: Such as access to repair manuals, fault code analysis, and more.

 

Highlights:

 

1. Supports simultaneous access to GM’s 4 CAN channels and is compatible with GM’s CAN-FD, HS-CAN, LS-CAN, UDS, J1850-VPW, SW-CAN, ALDL, GM-UART, KW81, KW82 protocols. Paired with OE software, it enables access to dozens of additional ECUs and thousands of manufacturer-specific trouble codes and parameters. It also

supports online programming and unique special functions.

 

2. Optimized for maximum throughput, delivering at least twice as many data samples per second compared to other solutions. This means smoother and more stable diagnostic software performance during fault diagnosis and data stream analysis, with the ability to display multiple parameters simultaneously (high-speed data transmission).

 

3. Features unique safety functions to protect the device when plugged into power, even in high-voltage vehicles such as 24V commercial trucks, ensuring no damage occurs. Additionally, all RLink X3 drivers and firmware are available for lifetime free upgrades.

 

4. Supports simultaneous CAN BUS access for FJDS, FDRS, and ForScan, enabling advanced functions that “ELM327” adapters cannot achieve.

 

5. Rock-solid connectivity effectively prevents data corruption and packet loss.

 

Advantages:

 

1. Industry-Leading Cost-Performance: Far ahead of OEM and other manufactured VCIs.

2. Multi-Brands Compatibility: One device supports multiple OEM software simultaneously. e.g. RLink X3 is compatible with over 8 OE software systems from three major automakers: Ford, GM, Chrysler.

3. Backed by More Than 10,000 Real-Vehicle Tests: It ensures secure data transfer and industry-leading stability, significantly outperforming lesser-known competitors.

4. Local US Technical Support: Guarantees response within 8 hours. Rapid software improvements ensure your system stays up to date.

 

Dual-Color Indicator Light:

 

Red Light (Connection Indicator): Stays solid when the device is connected to the vehicle's DLC and blinks when there is faulty.

Green Light (Communication Indicator): Blinks during diagnostics.
