5. Getting Started
The following sections provide the information needed
to begin using the MTS 6520 VCI including installing the
VCI Manager software, updating the firmware on the
device, configuring connection methods, and communi-
cating with the vehicle.
5.1 Installing the VCI Manager Software
The VCI Manager software is installed on the PC and
provides access to the VCIs located on your network.
The VCI Manager must be installed on the PC in order
to configure, update and run diagnostic applications
targeted for the PC. Initially you use the VCI Manager
software to set up the configuration of each VCI. The
VCI Manager is also used to update the firmware on the
VCI. MTS 6520 Software updates are available from the
Bosch Diagnostics OES website. Use the following pro-
cedure to install the VCI Manager software on your PC.
1. Visit the Bosch Diagnostics OES website at the fol-
lowing address to determine if a newer version of
VCI Manager software is available for your device.
If the software on the website is newer than that
included on the Installation CD, download the soft-
ware to your computer.

cable to configure your VCI using VCI Manager.
5.2.1 Identifying Your VCI
The VCI label is located on the back of the VCI. The
VCI identification number has two parts: a manufactur-
ing code for traceability and a unique serial number.
The serial number is used to identify the VCI in the VCI
Manager software. You will need to refer to this serial
number when you are using VCI Manager to configure
the VCI and perform software updates.
