NEXIQ Blue-Link Mini and First-Link join forces to diagnose vehicle health
May 23, 2017
The NEXIQ mobile app communicates wirelessly with commercial motor vehicles. Drivers can use the app on their smartphones to understand the cause of a 'check engine light' while on the road. In the shop, technicians can use the app to help guide repairs.
NEXIQ Technologies announced that its new mobile app—NEXIQ First-Link—gives both drivers and service technicians quick and easy access to diagnostic and vehicle information for commercial vehicles and equipment. Using the NEXIQ Blue-Link Mini as a triage tool in conjunction with First-Link is simple and straightforward. First-Link monitors the vehicle’s health status and helps to increase the vehicle’s uptime. On the road, drivers can use the app on their smartphones to understand the cause behind an illuminated Check Engine light, for example, so that they can seek assistance if needed (i.e., service and repair). In the shop, service technicians can utilize the information gathered by the app to aid in vehicle service and repair. The First-Link app is available on the App Store or on Google Play.
The NEXIQ Blue-Link Mini is a mobile vehicle interface that enables use of either an iOS or Android device (e.g., smartphones or tablets) to communicate with heavy duty vehicles for quick, wireless access to basic diagnostic information. It plugs into the vehicle’s diagnostic connector, provides wireless communication with on-board electronic control units, and comes with an integrated 9-pin Deutsch connector.
