TAURKENAM vLinker BM Plus OBD2 Scanner

The TAURKENAM vLinker BM Plus is a Bluetooth Low Energy OBD2 scanner designed for BMW and Mini vehicles from 2008 onwards, plus the 2019 Toyota Supra. It unlocks hidden features through BimmerCode and provides advanced diagnostics such as battery registration, exhaust flap control and DPF regeneration via BimmerLink. The adapter also covers generic OBD-II functions on most US-market vehicles from 1996.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Owners of compatible BMW, Mini or 2019 Supra models who want coding and deep diagnostic access will benefit. Technicians needing broad OBD-II coverage on post-1996 US vehicles can also use it. Buyers who need heavy-duty truck protocols beyond SAE J1939, support for pre-1996 vehicles, or manufacturer-specific coding for non-BMW brands should consider other tools.

Check your setup before ordering

Verify that your vehicle appears in the supported model list and that the OBD-II port is accessible. Ensure your smartphone runs a compatible version of iOS or Android for the BimmerCode or BimmerLink apps. Confirm the adapter supports the required OBD-II protocols such as KWP2000 (ISO 14230-4), SAE J1850, ISO 15765-4 and SAE J1939 for your intended diagnostics.
