Who knows how to update Vlinker MC+

[mplaramie]

Anyone know how to update a Vlinker MC+? Need to do some mods with Jscan and forgot I had the Vlinker and bypass cable from a previous Ram.

Bonus question, Jscan or Taser DT?

I don't know about Jscan but the Tazer works great for me.

I think you are very confused on both the questions you are asking.

You don't update the adapter you use the adapter to update the vehicle.

And TazerDT is a plug in device that can act as a SGW bypass, but also can make changes and has its own "live features" that can't be done with Jscan or alfaObd. It's not really comparable to Jscan .

Didn't think i was confused but it is Monday.... I wanted to see if there is a firmware update for the Vlinker before I make the updates to the truck. Bypass+Vlinker+Jscan=changes.

Was thinking about the Taser DT bc of the live features and no need for the bypass cable. Plus, you can update the Taser firmware via PC I think.

Just looking to change the simple things like tire size, tpms, fog drop out, drl, etc. Don't care about the Taser light show.

Price wise, you are better off with Jscan or alfaobd for making the changes you want. If you don't want any of the live features of the TazerDT, it's really not worth it.

There is no firmware update for OBD2 adapters AFAIK. They either work or they don't.

Like I said I don't know much about the Jscan but I love my Tazer I did mess with some of the stuff but now I just use the live settings and love it. The light show was ok but not a big deal I use the Pin-code, turn off my start-stop, and change my DRL's from time to time.

Just grabbed the Tazer and extention cable off Amazon. 10% right now.

Did download the Vgate updater app just in case I don't like the Tazer.

Time to play and see which one I'll use long term.

Honestly you can use them both. Don't need the red harness, to use vlinker, if you have the TazerDT installed.
