swiftkid 1 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 if you go on rosstech's website you can download a freeview version called vcds-lite that will work with the cheapy ebay wires. It will only tell you the numbers and obviously isn't the full version but i found it very useful. Link to post Share on other sites
gary.scales 0 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 It plugs in to the left of the ashtray, you have to remove the ashtray and the plastic cover slides out to the right I think and reveals the plug. It's like magic :-) Link to post Share on other sites
