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.
At Diesel Laptops, we've sold thousands of USB-Links throughout the years. Rugged and dependable, the USB-Link brand has long been the industry leader in vehicle communication interface technology.
