Making a Wireless Bluetooth Connection – Wireless Edition only
When two Bluetooth devices are paired, a persistent link is created between the two devices. After the
devices are paired, future connections are authenticated automatically.
To connect via Bluetooth:
1 Connect the DB26 female end of the appropriate adapter cable to the USB-Link™ 3.
2 Attach the other end of the adapter cable (i.e., Deutsch connector) to the vehicle’s diagnostic connector.
4 Proceed to Pair the Device (pg. 30)
- When connected, the Power LED (green) on the USB-Link™ 3 should be illuminated (on).
- If the Power LED is not illuminated, turn the vehicle’s key to the ON position, leaving the engine off.
3 Press and hold the Pairing Button until the Wireless LED begins to ash blue (about 3 seconds).
This will put the USB-Link™ 3 in Discoverable Mode. When the USB-Link™ 3 is Discoverable,
a host device can detect, pair, or connect to it. Once a connection with the ECM is established, the
LED will be solid blue. After two minutes, discoverability will time out, and the device will return to
Non-Discoverable status.
NOTE: See Device Features in Chapter 2 for a detailed discussion of the Pairing Button.
NOTE: The vehicle’s diagnostic connector is typically located under the dashboard on the driver’s side,
or beside the driver’s seat. It can also be located in the engine compartment near the electronic control
module (ECM).
