The Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) is the interface
used between the vehicle and a tablet or a laptop.
VCI4 is connected to the vehicle using the OBD cable. The VCI
unit connects to WCU and SWS via the wireless network.
VCI4 allows you to communicate with the vehicle control units
via the wireless network in the workshop. This makes it easier
to move freely around the vehicle without having to worry
about the VCI unit USB cable.
VCI4 can communicate with the new cybersecure
vehicles/powertrains.
VCI4 can also be used without cybersecure electrical systems for the following vehicle series:
• Buses: C and K series
• Trucks: L, P, G, R and S series
Connection options
VCI4 connects wirelessly via a hotspot in the workshop's local network. A hotspot may be e.g. a
router, mobile phone or USB dongle.
Electric power supply with OBD cable
VCI4 gets its power via the OBD cable to the vehicle. VCI4 has no internal power storage
(no batteries, etc.) The unit is supplied with power from the vehicle battery via the connector
on the rear of the VCI4.
The OBD cable is a standard cable for vehicles.
The OBD cable connector for the vehicle OBD output. The metal rail secures the connector in the OBD output.
The OBD cable connector is a truck version that can also be used in cars.
