ATTENTION: Prior to configuring and updating your Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) device, please follow Knowledge Base (KB) article: Associate Service Technicians to VCI Devices<\/p>\n

Note: If this is a new VCI, or it has never been used with wiTECH 2.0, you will have to run the VCI Setup Utility. This KB article will show you how to do that: Setup a VCI for wiTECH 2<\/a><\/p>\n

Note: If you are looking to connect your VCI to a Proxy Server instead of a standard wireless connection you will want to follow the steps listed in the following article: Configure a VCI to a Proxy Server<\/p>\n

1. On the PC, open the VCI Setup Utility and leave the VCI Setup Utility running in the background . Only open the VCI Setup Utility, do not select Continue in the Utility. (the VCI Setup Utility allows the VCI to communicate with the wiTECH 2 servers through the PC’s internet connection)<\/p>\n

2. If the VCI Setup Utility requires an update, please go ahead and allow the update and then relaunch the utility.<\/p>\n

3. Connect the VCI to your computer via the USB cable you were provided.<\/p>\n

4. Using an internet browser, login to your wiTECH 2 account at https:\/\/login.n.fcawitech.com<\/p>\n

5. If required, complete software updates to the VCI device.<\/p>\n

6. Click on the gear in the vehicle selection screen.<\/p>\n

7. Click on the downward facing arrow on the row for Network.<\/p>\n

Reminder: Your VCI will continuously look for a network.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

8. Click on the SSID of the network you would like your VCI to be connected to.<\/p>\n

9. If you would like to connect to a hidden network or a network that is not displayed, then you can click on “Join other network” to manually enter your SSID.<\/p>\n

NOTE: Use of Wi-Fi networks with hidden SSIDs is not recommended.<\/p>\n
