Maybe works with Android phone. ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-04-21* Not connecting thought this was good however ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-02-11* So it doesn’t actually update. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-09-17, version 2.9* Useless ### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect *2025-09-15* Listen to the other reviews.

Can you help me please??!! :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great *2025-09-21* Turn on auto connect and download It took less than a minute ### 5/5 — Nice and quick *2025-01-08, version 2.8* Bringing the rating up because the only other review isn’t related to the app, it sounds like they may have faulty hardware. This app does what it says on the tin - power the OBD unit, connect to it though the app, and flash the firmware. The unit I use (vLinker MC+) works well with the four apps I’ve used (BimmerLink/Code, Carista, Car Scanner and OPL Monitor), not that that’s relevant to this app :) ### 5/5 — Update vlinker fs *2024-12-27, version 2.8* Work great! ### 5/5 — Einfach und ohne Probleme *2024-10-27* Bei mir funktionierte das Update schon einige Male ohne Probleme. Das einzige was mir persönlich fehlt ist, die deutsche Sprache. Ansonsten Verbindung zum Adapter und dann zum Server für den Update funktionierte problemlos 👍🏻 Die App ist zudem einfach gestalten, ohne jegliche Schnik-Schnack Funktionen… ### 5/5 — Updated successfully *2024-05-05* A little bit not intuitive, but okay ### 5/5 — Alles prima. Einfache Oberfläche *2024-01-30* Ihr solltet euren Wagen ausschalten und nur die Zündung anmachen, dann sollte es klappen PS: darauf achten, dass ihr den richtigen Stecker mit dem richtigen Bluetooth-Standard gekauft habt Peace and harmony guys ;) ### 5/5 — Funktioniert *2024-01-23* Tut genau was es soll, bei mir war kein Upgrade erforderlich. Die herunterladbare Version sowie die aktuell installierte Version werden angezeigt. Ich habe zuvor den Dongle per WLAN in den Einstellungen vom iPhone verbunden. ### 5/5 — Funciona perfectamente👍🏻 *2023-11-30* Actualizado el software del vLinker MC+ exitosamente. Anteriormente no me llegaba a actualizar, pero el problema ha sido solucionado. ### 5/5 — Easy to update *2023-09-05* Works perfectly with vLinker FD+. The update works without any problems. ### 4/5 — Working *2025-04-01* to get it working I made sure “auto connect” was pressed 1st then press “Download” for upgrade --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
