Using digiDL-E Model for Front Port download on VDO Tachographs
Quite a number of VDO model tachographs will not support remote download
via the rear port (CAN-C). These are predominantly 12 Volt vehicles such as
large vans however there are several 24 volt Volvo and Renault model
tachographs which will only download via the front port. You should always
check the model of your Tachograph with your provider before endeavouring
to t a digiDL, digiDL-B, digiDL-BT, digiDL-E or EX. You can check your
tachograph model number at http://dealerzone.tachosys.com as part of a
recommended vehicle audit.

GPS and other functionality on the digiDL-E version is optional. GPS logging
requires the purchase of our GPS antenna (DGPS02) and may require
subscription to a tracking service. Check with your reseller for further
information. See digiDL-E and digiDL-EX User Guide if you wish to learn the
full features of these devices.

digiDL-E for Front Port Download Only - Installation
Unlocking the front port of a VDO Tachograph for use with DDL-KLINE
You are required to software unlock the front port of the tachograph using a
'VDO Front Interface Update Card'.
The product codes are as follows;
Code: A2C59512046 – 1 unlock
Code: A2C59512047 – 5 unlock
NOTE: if you need to use K-Line for remote download, please ensure all of the
following:
1. You are using the digiDL-E or EX. The digiDL, digiDL-B and digiDL-BT do
not have K-Line sockets.
2. You have purchased a VDO font port unlocking card from VDO – one per
vehicle. These need to be put into each tachograph BEFORE tting the
digiDL-E or EX to enable front port remote download.
3. You have con gured the digiDL-E or EX to use K-Line as its source of
Tachograph Download, Tachograph Mode and Driver Decision Support.
This can be found in digiConnect under Sources. (See page 14).
4. DO NOT connect the Red plug of the Standard or Enhanced digiDL Cable
– this plug is for the CAN-Bus, which you are not using. Connect the
white plug of the Standard or Enhanced digiDL Cable as per normal.
5. When the digiDL-E or EX has been tted, ensure that the K LED on the
digiDL-E or EX is illuminated to indicate the K-Line connection is active.
DigiDL-B / BT Installation Guide
Take care when using the multiple
licence unlock card. There are no
visible or audible con rmations that
a token has been taken from the
card.
You will need a Kline cable (DDL-
KLINE) which ts between the digiDL
-E and the front port of the Tacho. It
is not necessary to place the RED
plug from the standard loom in the
Tachograph (digiDL-EX pictured but
socket is the same on digiDL-E).
