Autel CAN FD Adapter — Unlock CAN FD Protocol Diagnostics on 2020+ GM and Compatible Vehicles
The Autel CAN FD Adapter extends your existing Autel VCI to communicate with vehicles using the CAN FD (Controller Area Network Flexible Data-rate) protocol. CAN FD runs at higher speeds than standard CAN and is required for full diagnostics on 2020+ GM vehicles including Silverado, Sierra, Suburban, Tahoe, Equinox, and others that Autel's standard VCI cannot access without this adapter. Compact and built for durability, it installs between the OBD-II port and VCI in seconds.
