In this mode, it needs to work in conjunction with the Diagnose module of the diagnostic
tool, which is used to obtain vehicle data, and then send it to the diagnostic tool for
analysis via WiFi / BT / USB communication (*The available communication method depends
on the hardware of the diagnostic tool).
It can be used if users need remote technical assistance from master technicians. In this
mode, it does not communicate with the diagnostic tool, but it needs to work together with
the SmartLink module of the . The diagnostic tool is mainly used to issue
remote diagnostic requests, and the SmartLink C dongle is networked to receive and
execute commands from the remote SmartLink B (Business).

2.Locate the vehicle's DLC (Data Link Connector) port
It is usually located on driver’s side, about 12
inches away from the center of dashboard.
For passenger cars, the DLC is typically a 16-pin connector where VCI dongle interfaces
with the vehicle's on-board computer.
For commercial vehicles, the DLC is always located in driver’s cab.
3.Connection (For Passenger Car Edition)
1). OBD II Vehicle Connection:
OBD II Vehicle Connection:
For vehicles equipped with OBD II diagnostic socket,
connect the SmartLink C to vehicle’s DLC directly via the diagnostic cable.
2). Non- For non-OBD II vehicles, a non-16pin connector is
required. Follow the below way to make connection:
For new users, please follow the operation chart shown below to get familiar with and start
using this tool.
*If you choose “Intelligent Diag” to diagnose a vehicle, this flowchart shall not apply.
Notes:
Before starting a diagnostic session, user needs to activate the VCI and download the
corresponding diagnostic software. For detailed operations, please refer to “Initial use”-
“Register &Update.”
All software is updated periodically. It is recommended to check regularly for updates and
install the latest software version for the best service, functions and experience.

SmartLink Diag.
The SmartLink system is powerful remote diagnostics solution developed by LAUNCH. The system consists of SmartLink C dongle (for technicians seeking a trusted second opinion and
additional expertise on various vehicle issues), SmartLink Service Platform (for SmartLink C posting assistance request and SmartLink B accepting order) and SmartLink B dongle (for
service provider or master technician). Follow the steps below to perform a SmartLink session.
Post request -- Bind the SmartLink C and post a remote diagnostics request in the SmartLink module (*Only after the SmartLink C dongle is successfully bound can the request be posted).
Connection & setup -- Connect the vehicle’s DLC and crossover cable, and then set the SmartLink C as “Remote Diagnostics” mode.
Wait for partner’s assistance -- After the remote master technician accepts the order, he will provide professional technical service to you using the SmartLink B dongle (plus the
compatible diagnostic tool).
Start Diagnostics -- Turn on the ignition key and start the diagnosis. After the diagnostic session is completed, unplug the crossover cable, terminate the operation and rate the service.
Below illustrates how the SmartLink system works.

* During the remote diagnosis, please do not disconnect the vehicle and the network (the network broadband of 100Mb and above is recommended). In addition, a SmartLink C dongle can only receive one
remote diagnosis operation at a time.
* When doing SmartLink diagnosis, the network delay will be displayed on the screen of the dongle. There are three states of network delay: green, yellow and red, which indicate that the network is normal, not
stable and the delay is serious respectively. It is recommended that the diagnosis operation be performed when the network delay is green. Otherwise, the communication with the vehicle may fail or the
incorrect system detection may occur.
