JALTEST DATA-LINK INTERFACE

Jaltest Data-Link Interface (SKU 70001018)

The Jaltest Data-Link Interface is a Bluetooth-enabled, RP1210-compliant pass-through diagnostic device designed for shops and fleets that need to run OEM proprietary software alongside a multi-make diagnostic tool. This is not a Jaltest CV kit replacement — it is a different product category serving a different need. Understanding that distinction is important before you buy.

What the Data-Link Interface Does

The Data-Link is an RP1210-compliant pass-through adapter. That means it is certified to work as the hardware bridge for any software application that supports the RP1210 standard — which includes virtually every OEM dealer-level diagnostic program in the trucking industry. Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link, Cummins INSITE, International ServiceMaxx, Paccar ESA, Allison DOC, and others all work with RP1210-compliant interfaces. Rather than owning a separate proprietary interface for each OEM software package, the Data-Link serves as one piece of hardware for all of them.

Protocol Support

• RP1210 — Full compliance for use with ALL OEM diagnostic software applications that support the standard.
• SAE J1708 — Legacy heavy-duty serial communications protocol found on older trucks and equipment.
• SAE J1939 — The dominant CAN-based protocol on modern Class 6-8 commercial vehicles.
• OBD-II / ISO — Light and medium commercial vehicle coverage via the standard OBD-II port.

What's Included in the Full Data-Link Kit

• Jaltest DATA-LINK Interface (70001018) — The hardware interface unit itself.
• Transport Hardcase — Durable carrying case for field and shop use.
• USB Cable (JDC107.9)
• Deutsch 6-Pin Cable (JDC211A)
• OBD V9 Cable (JDC223.9)
• Deutsch 9-Pin SAE J1939 Type 2 Green V9 Cable (JDC227.9)

The Data-Link also includes Generic Truck Diagnostics for All-Makes — giving you fault code reading, live data, and basic diagnostic functions across manufacturers without needing individual OEM subscriptions for routine work.

Bluetooth Connectivity

The Data-Link Interface supports Bluetooth, allowing wireless communication between the interface and your diagnostic laptop during a session.

Important Limitations — Read Before Buying

The Data-Link is not upgradeable to the Jaltest CV Kit (commercial vehicle software). It cannot be combined with other Jaltest software packages. If your primary goal is Jaltest CV or OHW diagnostics with the full Jaltest software suite, you want SKU 70001011 or 70001026, not the Data-Link. The Data-Link is the right tool when your shop's priority is running OEM software from multiple manufacturers on a single interface, with multi-make generic diagnostics as a supplement.

Who Should Buy the Data-Link Interface

Dealerships and independent shops that run multiple OEM software packages (DDDL, INSITE, ServiceMaxx, ESA, etc.) and want one compliant interface that handles all of them. Fleets with mixed manufacturer equipment that have existing OEM software subscriptions. Shops that need RP1210 compliance for warranty repair work.
