TechCentre Connection
TechCentre connection to the car is made via the Vehicle Communication Device (VCD) and the Data
Link Connector (DLC) located at the front of the passenger footwell. The yellow connector lead is used to
connect the VCD to the car, and a USB lead connects the VCD to the laptop PC.
Power for the VCD is taken from the vehicle battery via the DLC and when powered, a blue tell tale on the
unit will light. Should updated firmware be available for the VCD (usually downloaded as part of an online
update) TechCentre will automatically update the VCD and display a message to confirm.
The VCD, under part number T000T1472F is supplied in a black plastic carry case containing the follow-
ing:
- VCD
- 16 Pin Yellow connector lead (VCD to Vehicle)
- USB lead (VCD to PC)
- USB extension lead (VCD to PC)
