    3. Software Setup While Vehicle Spy software is not required to use your device, Intrepid devices often require specific drivers to function properly. Your device should have arrived with the software necessary to use it. If the media containing this software is no longer available, the software can be found at the following link.
  • Page 13 Starting and Using neoVI Explorer The neoVI Explorer utility allows you to connect to, manage and configure all of your Intrepid Control Systems hardware. It is supplied both as an integrated feature of Vehicle Spy, and as a standalone program. This section will describe general features and the basics of using neoVI Explorer, so you will understand the utility when we get into settings specific to your device.
  • Page 14 Starting neoVI Explorer as a Standalone Program If you want to work with your device without opening Vehicle Spy, you can launch neoVI Explorer directly. Open the Start Menu, navigate to the IntrepidCS folder, then under the Vehicle Spy 3 subfolder, select neoVI Explorer (Figure below).
  • Page 15 You should see your device listed here, along with its serial number. If you don’t see the device to be connected, but do see other Intrepid devices, be sure to scroll down to look for it. If it is still not visible, this means its drivers have not been installed correctly, it is not powered properly, or there is a problem with the USB connection.
  • Page 16 Writing and Reloading Settings To avoid potential problems, neoVI Explorer will not save any changes to device parameters until you instruct it to do so. This is done by pressing the Write Settings button, which will update the parameters within the firmware in your device.
