THE OBDLink EX uses so-called automatic electronic switching. This provides access to advanced functions, such as simultaneous reading of ECU parameters on different CAN networks and initialization of some modules (e.g. "Remote Keyless Entry and Start"). OBDLink switches seamlessly between HS-CAN, MS-CAN and J1850 Ford networks. "No switch" means you don't have to worry about screwing things up if you accidentally transmit on the wrong network.
