Vehicle Link Adapters

ServiceRanger supports the TMC RP-1210 standards for vehicle communications. The following is a  list of vehicle link adapters that have been tested with ServiceRanger and are approved for ECU reprogramming. If your adapter is not in the list,  there may be a compatibility issue or Eaton has not completed testing for that particular adapter.
