BlueFire for Trucks connects to your truck via the BlueFire Data Adapter that plugs into the 9 pin or 6 pin Deutsch diagnostic port of your truck. The Adapter sends J1939 and J1708 truck information to the App via Bluetooth.The Adapter and the App support Class 3 through 8 heavy duty trucks. The Adapter is available for purchase from Amazon.

The BlueFire for Trucks app is free and you can download and run it without the Adapter. This gives you an opportunity to get a feel for the functionality that it offers.
