  My Windows 11 PC is not detecting the vLinker FD Bluetooth.
  
  My pc is does have discover turned on.
  
  I am also not able to unzip the vLinker_FD_V2.2.88.zip file located in the download center.

  Hello.
  1. Before you connect the vLinker FD Bluetooth, please make sure that no other device is occupying the vLinekr FD
  
  2.It will take about 2-3 minutes to find the Bluetooth device in window system, please be patient, after finding the Bluetooth device, click pairing and enter the pairing code "1234".
  
  3. I tried to re-download vLinker FD V2.2.88 from the download centre, and it can be decompressed normally. Some computers in Windows 11 do not come with a decompression tool, so you will need to download a decompression tool before you can decompress it.

  The update package "vLinker_FD_V2.2.88.zip" seems to be actually in RAR-format (misleadingly) - that's why it doesn't decompress with Windows.

  Hello.
  
  Both zip and RAR formats are compressed packages that can be compressed in your computer, maybe you need a ZIP decompressor, or you can send an email to "support@vgate.com.cn" with a note about the format you need, and we'll send a copy of it in an attachment.

  Hello dear @MrKevinUSA,
  
  I kNow that is about 3 months apart, but in case others need this info: 
  
  - go to your Windows 11 device Add Bluetooth Device
  - scroll down to Bluetooth device descovery
  - change the dropdown arrow menu to ADVANCED (or Complex)

  How about using 7-Zip or WinRAR instead of the built-in Windows extractor? If the file is corrupted, delete it and download it again from the official vLinker website.

  Could antivirus or firewall settings interfere with Bluetooth discovery or the zip file decompression?

  Some computers may have firewalls that delete files automatically.

  PC Not Detecting vLinker FD via Bluetooth. Make sure the vLinker FD is powered on (plugged into vehicle OBD-II port or powered via USB).
  
  Some PCs, especially desktops, may lack Bluetooth LE support or need updated drivers. Update Bluetooth driver via:
  
  Device Manager → Right-click your adapter → Update Driver.
