8.2 Feature activation
– Optional software feature packages are available for the Vehicle Control Unit VCU .
– 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.

VCU does not work on any other Vehicle Control Unit VCU .

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.
