After the reset, RaceCon reconnects to the C 80. Local configuration on both the PC

and C 80 match (indicated by green background and dot). The C 80 is now connected

to RaceCon.

Green background
and dot indicate 
matching 
configuration

8.3 Feature activation

– Optional software feature packages are available for the C 80

– All software feature packages can be purchased prior to delivery or after you have re-

ceived your device.

– If you have purchased an optional software feature package, it must be activated be-

fore it becomes operational.

– The feature activation status is stored permanently in the device and requires activat-

ing once only.

– As the activation key is device specific, a key delivered with one C 80 does not work

on any other C 80.

– When purchasing a software feature package, you have to tell Bosch the ECU ID code.

The ECU ID code is device specific and can be found in the ‘features info’ window,

shown in the screenshots below.

– If you have not purchased an optional software feature package, the next steps can

be skipped.
