Our most popular device, the OBD2 connector, can simply be plugged into your car’s interface (in the top right of your vehicle’s footwell).

There are four simple steps you’ll have to follow to install the Vimcar Dongle into your vehicle (just consult the instructions sent with your dongle). Before this you should:

• Create your account
• Download the Vimcar app or open the web version
• Create a 'vehicle' in your user account
  
  

The hardware can be self-installed in minutes, for free.

The onboard diagnosis interface for vehicles with a combustion engine is standardised across the UK and EU. Typically it can be found in the top right of the footwell. If not, check the following:

• The central console area
• The area above the central console
• The area under the dashboard, directly behind the steering column
• In between the steering column and the central console
• On the right, between the steering column and the central console
• On the left, between the steering column and the central console
• Inside or underneath the glove compartment
  
  

If in doubt, the car’s user manual should tell you where the
interface is positioned.

If you are still having trouble, just contact support@vimcar.co.uk

The Vimcar Box can also be installed in vehicles without an OBD interface. Its installation only takes a few minutes - just follow the steps below:

• Attach the red cable to the positive terminal of the battery and the black cable to the negative terminal.
• Attach the ground connection to the skrew on the chasis, next to the battery.
• The LED light should light up to show it is working.
• Then attach it to the battery/battery cover with the adhesive tape provided and you're good to go!
  

The box can be self-installed in minutes, for free.

The battery is usually found in the engine compartment. To reach it, open the bonnet and, if present, the cover of the car battery. Other locations of the battery:

• Boot
• Under the driver’s seat
• Under the passenger’s seat
  
  

If you cannot find the battery, have a look in your car’s user manual. In the unlikely event that your battery is covered by other vehicle parts, please contact a mechanic.
