Identifying your diagnostic device
The rating plate is located on the back of
Opel-Vauxhall-VCI. The Opel-Vauxhall-VCI iden-
tification number has two parts: a manufactu-
ring code for traceability and a unique serial
number. The serial number is used to identify
Opel-Vauxhall-VCI in the "VCI Manager" software.
You will need to refer to this serial number
when you are using VCI Manager to configure
Opel-Vauxhall-VCI and perform software up-
dates.
