Which device works with which platform
Not every J2534 device works with every OE software stack. Some devices are universal (Autel XLINK, TOPDON RLink). Most are OE-specific (MDI2 = GM only, VCM3 = Ford only). Use this matrix to confirm BEFORE you book.

Generic J2534 + FlexiHub
For AlexFlasher 3, MDI2, VCM3, VAS6154, DICE, Mongoose. These devices show up as J2534 USB devices on a Windows laptop. We bridge them to us via FlexiHub (USB-over-network).
- 1. Install FlexiHub on the laptop your device plugs into.
- 2. Sign in with the license token we email after booking.
- 3. Plug the device into the vehicle OBD-II port + your laptop USB.
- 4. We run the OE software (TDS / FJDS / VIDA / ODIS / etc.) on our side.
Autel Remote Expert OR FlexiHub
The XLINK has Autel's "Remote Expert" cloud network built into the firmware. Use that OR fall back to FlexiHub like any generic J2534.
- 1. Sign in on MaxiSYS / MaxiPRO with your Autel ID.
- 2. At appointment, start a "Remote Expert" session + paste our invitation code.
- 3. We accept on our side, OE software runs on our PC, XLINK tunnels traffic.
No Autel ID? Same FlexiHub flow as generic J2534.
USB-share OR screen-share
The RLink Lite is a standalone Android tablet — different from a USB-only J2534. Two viable paths.
- 1. Plug the RLink into a Windows laptop via USB.
- 2. Install FlexiHub on the laptop.
- 3. RLink shows up as a J2534 device on our PC.
Install TeamViewer QuickSupport on the RLink Android. We drive the tablet remotely. The OE software runs locally on the RLink.
