CONNECTING TO A VEHICLE

The procedure for connecting to a vehicle varies by the type of interface device you are using.

MPVI2/2+/3 AND ALL RTD INTERFACES

When used with the VCM Suite, a USB connection to your PC is recommended:

1.Connect the larger end of the included USB cable to an available USB port on a laptop with VCM Suite Installed.
2.Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB type C port on the front of the interface device.

 

3.When you are ready to scan or reprogram the vehicle, plug the large, molded OBD-II connector on the other side of the interface device into the vehicle's diagnostic port.

When used with the TDN app for mobile devices, these devices connect to your mobile via Bluetooth®. The app provides on-screen instructions for establishing the connection and attaching the device to your vehicle. For more information, consult the documentation for the TDN app.
