X-431 Throttle handset and VCI connector, you can easily get the VIN
(Vehicle Identification Number) information of the currently identified
vehicle. Once the VIN is successfully identified, the system will retrieve
it from the remote server and then guide you to vehicle information
page without the necessity of step-by-step manual menu selection.

4.3.2 DLC location
The DLC (Data Link Connector) is typically a standard 16 pin connector where
diagnostic code readers interface with the vehicle’s on-board computer. The
DLC is usually located 12 inches from the center of the instrument panel (dash),
under or around the driver’s side for most vehicles. If Data Link Connector is not
located under dashboard, a label should be there telling location. For some
Asian and European vehicles, the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the
ashtray must be removed to access the connector. If the DLC cannot be found,
refer to the vehicle’s service manual for the location.
