About this app

NEXIQ First-Link™ is an application that provides important features to the drivers and service technicians of commercial vehicles and equipment. These features help the driver connect the mobile device to the diagnostic port; they also monitor the vehicle's health status and increase the vehicle's uptime. If a Check Engine Light is illuminated, the application assists the driver to understand the cause so that he can seek assistance (i.e., service and repair), if needed. Service technicians can utilize the information gathered by the application to aid in vehicle service and repair.

Features include:

• Faults – Active and Inactive fault codes present at the time of connection are displayed.
• Vehicle Specs – Vehicle information including VIN, ECU software and hardware information is displayed.
• Life / Trip – Displays trip-specific information related to fuel usage, miles, maximum speed, cruise control speed, hours of operation, etc.
• Parameters – Displays parameters specific to the modules on the vehicle (e.g., engine, transmission, etc.)
• Report – Generates a session-specific report containing vehicle information (i.e., faults, vehicle specs, parameters, and life/trip information); can be uploaded to the cloud, emailed, etc.
• Sharing - Enables the driver to share vehicle information gathered to dispatch, service providers, etc.

Ratings and reviews

this device worked great for a long time. they did a mandatory firmware update and it killed it. I can see it in the phone, in the app but the app will no longer connect and display codes. sad that they did this to boost sales on the newer device by screwing their customer.

Good app, it is quick to connect, easy to use. I like being able to send reports to customers via email. Makes troubleshooting easy. Would like to see ability to clear fault codes. At current it is read only. I have used on Android phone and Android tablet with Blue-link Mini and USB Link 2 adapters.

Connect, it works but hardware is to expensive for the little information you get out of it, I mean for less money you can get code reading and clearing on cars but not here just a snapshot in specific time, NO REAL TIME INFORMATION. NO CLEAR CODES, AND THE ACTIVE /INACTIVE CODES HAVE NO USEFUL INFORMATION.
