The USB-Link™ 2 is a hardware device that enables service bay personal computers
(i.e., PCs and/or laptops) to retrieve vehicle information using either wireless Bluetooth®
technology or a more traditional cable connection. Once configured, the USB-Link™ 2
interfaces with your PC, enabling you to use specific PC applications to perform vehicle
diagnostics.
This chapter introduces the USB-Link™ 2 and provides details regarding the
communication modes available to you to interface with your PC.

Communication Options: Wired vs Wireless
Prior to using the USB-Link™ 2, you need to decide how you want the unit to com-
municate with your PC. There are two options:
• A wired connection to the PC using a USB cable (pg. 5)
or
• A wireless connection to the PC using Buletooth® (pg. 6)
Wired Connection
A wired connection provides the advantage of faster data throughput. For that
reason, using a USB connection to the PC is highly recommended when diagnos-
ing heavily-loaded CAN/J1939 buses. By nature, Bluetooth® has less bandwidth
than USB, which can result in dropped messages in situations requiring high
bandwidth.
IMPORTANT:
äECU reprogramming typically requires both high throughput and critical
timing, and should always use a USB-to-PC wired connection.
Wired communication between the USB-Link™ 2 and your PC requires an auto-
motive A to Mini-B USB cable (shipped with the USB-Link™ 2).

NOTE:
iFor detailed instructions on making a wired connection, refer to Step 4:
Connect the USB-Link™ 2 to a Vehicle, later in Chapter 3 of this manual.

Chapter 1• Introducing the USB-Link™ 2
Wireless Connection
Wireless connectivity provides untethered operation, and that’s a bonus in a busy
service bay. The USB-Link™ 2 uses Bluetooth® wireless technology to provide
wireless communication between the USB-Link™ 2 and your PC.
The USB-Link™ 2 is intended for diagnostic use, for example, retrieving trouble
codes. By nature, Bluetooth® wireless technology has limited bandwidth and
latency when compared to wired solutions. This may result in dropped messages
in situations requiring high bandwidth
NOTE:
iThe USB-Link™ 2 does not support Integrated Bluetooth. If your PC has
Integrated Bluetooth, your system has Bluetooth® drivers installed and a
built-in Bluetooth® transceiver. You must uninstall Integrated Bluetooth
and its Bluetooth® drivers prior to proceeding with the USB-Link™ 2 instal-
lation process.
If your PC does not have Integrated Bluetooth, then you are clear to proceed with
the USB-Link™ 2 installation process as documented in this manual:
• Install Bluetooth® drivers
• Install an external Bluetooth® adapter
• Pair the device
NOTE:
iFor detailed information on installing Bluetooth® drivers and configuring a
basic Bluetooth® environment, refer to Step 3: Install the Bluetooth®
Drivers in Chapter 2 of this manual.
For instructions on pairing the device, refer to Step 5: Pair the Device, in
Chapter 3 of this manual.
