Don’t Need Wireless? We’ve Got You Covered!

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.

This is a vital tool to help fix some emissions issues on my Detroit DD15. Worked as expected. It does, however, require a thorough understanding of what you are trying to accomplish. I had help on the programming side.

I work on Isuzu NQR’s and this has been AMAZING. For all of you that work on diesels you know how crazy the DPF systems can be. This interface (paired with IDSS software for Isuzu) gets me into the ECM for programing and diagnostic purposes that would only be available at a dealer or authorized repair center. If you do your own work YOU NEED THIS! Period!
