Vehicle Interface (VCI)

Blue-Link 2 is an incredibly convenient and easy-to-use mobile vehicle interface that enables users to seamlessly communicate with heavy-duty vehicles to quickly access basic diagnostic information on the go or in the shop.

Providing greater throughput than its predecessor and easier connectivity to iOS, Blue-Link 2 is more powerful in supporting the development of iOS and Android solutions for communicating with vehicles. Additionally, this advanced mobile vehicle interface supports CAN FD protocol and includes Wi-Fi connection capability.

When used in conjunction with the First-Link™ app, the all-new Blue-Link 2 becomes a critical tool for truck drivers on the road or service writers checking in vehicles at a repair facility.
