Connecting to a Vehicle
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.
