Nexiq has decided not to provide this packaging with the new USB Link 2, but I guess who really cares about packaging?įor all its popularity, the original Nexiq USB Link had some serious design issues. Here is what the original box looked like: The first thing we’ve noticed is that Nexiq is no longer packaging their adapter in the “Nexiq Box” that they’ve frequently used for not only the USB Link, but other products as well. Lets talk about some of the changes that we’ve noticed with this new and improved USB Link 2. We’ve literally sold over 1,000 of the original Nexiq USB Link, so to say we are familiar with them is an understatement. The other large source of their distribution comes from formal truck dealerships, as Nexiq is the recommended product for various truck manufacturers such as International, Freightliner, and many others. Nexiq is 100% owned by Snap On, so between the large marketing spends, industry trade shows, and Snap On tool trucks, Nexiq has an unmatched distribution network. One of the main reasons that the Nexuq USB Link became so popular was because of their distribution. This adapter had been around for around 7 years, and was wildly popular. In early 2015, Nexiq Technologies discontinued the “tried and true” original NEXIQ 125032.
