At step 3 when you tell us about your equipment, you have the option to select "Automatically Activate JDLink Connectivity". This allows JDLink connectivity to be turned on for all future compatible equipment transferred into your account by your John Deere dealer without any additional action needed by you.

You can select this option whether you add equipment now or later. You get a seamless connection experience when you receive your connected John Deere equipment. The option is preselected in all countries where allowed.

A JDLink modem is required to have a JDLink connection. You need only to purchase the modem, if your equipment does not already have a modem. There is NO cost or subscription for the connection service.
