Other Applications
- Work as a VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface)
When as a VCI, the SmartLink C dongle needs to work in conjunction with the LAUNCH- the specific diagnostic tool, which is used to obtain vehicle data, and then send it to the tool for analysis via WiFi / Bluetooth / data cable. - Work as Local J2534 PassThru Device
Except that the SmartLink C acts as a VCI device and a SmartLink dongle, it also can be used as a local J2534 PassThru device, working together with the PC installed with the OEM diagnostic software to perform the J2534 reprogramming. In this case, the PC needs to install with the LAUNCH’s J2534 tool, which can be downloaded from www.x431.com. - Work as Remote J2534 PassThru Device
Additionally, the SmartLink C dongle can also be used as a remote J2534 PassThru device while performing remote ECU reprogramming functions.
Ensure that the remote J2534 reprogramming operation is performed after the SmartLink C dongle is connected to the vehicle’s DLC port and the Internet, and has been switched to the super remote diagnosis mode. For specific operations, please refer to other associated documents.
