Kit Description
The Autoplugin GSM Kit-V2 is intended for remote control of the fuel-fired
heater (parking heater, fuel operated heater, pre-heater), which was factory
installed on Volvo S60 (2011-), V70 (2007-), XC70 (2007-) or XC60 (2010-). The
kit consist of GSM module and RCP Can-V2 module. GSM module receives
commands from user’s phone or smartphone and sends them to the RCP module,
which controls the heater via CAN-bus.
Possibilities
·Start and stop of the heater by SMS or via specialized application
Therminal from Android (4.1 and higher) based smartphone
·Feedback about heater’s startup, stop and errors by SMS/ in Therminal
·Embedded remote control of the heater by the original Volvo vehicle key
·Main battery protection from discharging by inspection of the voltage
level and time of autonomous work of the heater
·Plug-n-play or permanent connection
Package Content
1. GSM module
2. RCP Can-V2 module, special version (0106-1115)
3. Interconnection cable
4. Permanent connection cable
5. Plug-n-play cable

Basic Functions
1. Refer to the User Manual control the heater from mobile phone or
smartphone.
2. RCP Can give a possibility of the remote control of the heater by the original
Volvo key. To start the heater, press “Lamp” button on the key to turn the
perimeter lighting on. Then press “Lock” button twice within 30 seconds,
while lighting is on. Every “Lock” button press on the key will be confirmed
by the turn signals. Also it is possible to adjust the module so, that it will
flash 3 times by the turn signals in the rear-view mirrors, when keypress
combination is received (6.2 setting).
3. To stop the heater by the original Volvo key, twice turn on and then off the
perimeter lighting by the “Lamp” button, when the heater operates. The
intervals between “Lamp” button presses should not exceed 20 seconds.
4. You can remotely cancel the start of the heater by a DIS timer: send the stop
command by remote control for the idle heater. DIS timers will be
temporary disabled. Start the heater by any way or turn the ignition on will
enable DIS timers again.
5. An additional button may be connected to the module. The button is used for
immediate start or stop of the heater. Button press changes a heater
condition to another one: switches off the operated heater or switches on the
idle heater.
Connection
RCP module needs that 2 timers and direct start / stop function for the heater
control are present in DIS. Therefore it may be necessary to load software to DIS
by Volvo dealer equipment before make connection of kit.
GSM module is supplied without SIM card inside. The customer should buy a SIM
card with subscription to services of local GSM provider. Make some operations
with SIM before installation to the GSM module:
1. Insert SIM to a phone or smartphone and disable PIN code acquire
2. Send test SMS to another phone or smartphone and check that it successfully
received
It is recommended to select tariffs with non-expensive SMS traffic. Combine
phone account with GSM module account if possible.

Open the case of GSM-module to install SIM card, as shown at the picture 1. Use
screwdriver from package to remove screws.
Figure 1
Plug-n-Play Connection
This type of connection uses OBD-II service connector. It placed at the left lowest
point of the dashboard. Open the case of service connector (if applicable). Take
interconnection cable and connect RCP and GSM modules together. Only
highlighted at the figure 2 connectors are used. Take Plug-n-Play cable and
connect it to interconnection cable. Find a place inside the dashboard for modules.
RCP and GSM modules can be joined to the packet using double-sided adhesive
tape (see fig. 2). Secure packet of modules inside the dashboard with straps. If
modules are placed separately, RCP module can be fixed with adhesive tape, and
GSM module can be fixed with straps. Pay attention that internal antenna of GSM
module (marked by dashes at figire 2) doesn’t stay close to metal parts of the

5
dashboard. Shorten Plug-n-Play cable by straps and fix all the cables of kit to the
dashboard. Finally connect Plug-n-Play cable to the OBD-II service connector.
Figure 2
Permanent connection
Autoplugin GSM kit is recommended to be installed permanently in the cargo area.
Detach the upholstery on left-hand side of cargo area, where fuse box is located.
Take interconnection cable and connect RCP and GSM modules together. Only
highlighted at the figure 2 connectors are used. Take permanent connection cable
and connect it to interconnection cable.
Find a place for modules behind the upholstery. RCP and GSM modules can be
joined to the packet using double-sided adhesive tape (see fig. 2). Secure packet of
modules inside the dashboard with straps. If modules are placed separately, RCP
module can be fixed with adhesive tape, and GSM module can be fixed with
straps. Pay attention that internal antenna of GSM module (marked by dashes at
figire 2) doesn’t stay close to metal parts of the dashboard. Connect LED to the
GSM module (instead of connector with single blue wire of permanent connection
cable) and fix it at the place where it will be visible this detached upholstery.
Shorten wires of permanent connection cable by place, as required. Temporary
unplug permanent connection cable from interconnection cable. Connect free ends
of permanent connection cable to the car’s wiring in accordance with table 1 and
figure 3. Use quick splice connectors for wires connection.
Plug-in permanent connection cable to interconnection cable again. Fix cables to
the car’s wiring by the straps.
Attach the upholstery back to its place.

Additional Functions of RCP Can-V2
By default RCP Can is adjusted to execute basic functions, such as start and stop of
the heater by the Volvo key or by additional button. To turn on additional
functions (ex. battery monitoring) you may enter the module into programming
mode and activate the corresponding setting.
The left-side steering wheel lever and the brake pedal are used to enter
programming mode and to the settings change. It is necessary to stop the engine
and the heater before. Turn the ignition on, press and hold the brake pedal. Twist
the lever’s ring some steps to turn off the left display in DIS. Then press and hold
“Read” button at least for 5 seconds, while built-in LED is flashing once a second.
Both turn signal repeaters in DIS will flash twice as a confirmation of entering
programming mode. Release the brake pedal and “Read” button now.
Each setting in the table 3 corresponds to the 3-digit code. You need to enter
appropriate code to activate a setting. To enter a digit of a code, shortly press
“Reset” button on the lever so much times, as corresponds to a digit. Each button
press will be confirmed by the LED flashing and by a turn signal repeater of DIS:
the left turn to the first and the third digits of code, the right turn to the second digit
of code. To confirm a digit entering, press and release “Read” button (DIS will
flash one time by the both repeaters simultaneously). After the third digit will be
entered, module will check the code for validity and confirm it by repeaters: flash
twice by the both repeaters simultaneously in the case of valid code, flash twice by
the both repeaters alternately in the case of invalid code.
If you made a mistake with the number of button presses when you enter the code,
press and release “Read” button until the module will indicate an error by
repeaters. Enter the code again in that case. Also you may enter other codes
without exit of programming mode.
Turn the ignition off to exit programming mode. New settings will be saved in the
module’s memory and will be stored there regardless of whether the module is
connected or not. Attention: If you start the engine without exit of programming
mode, new settings will not be saved in memory.
To reset the module to factory settings, enter the code 8.1.1. Both repeaters will
flash three times to confirm command execution, and then the module will exit of
programming mode and will restart.

Troubleshooting
If a run-time error occurs with the heater, RCP Can will inform you by the built-in
and additional LEDs blinking about the error code. When Plug-n-Play cable is
used for connection, additional red LED is placed inside the housing of OBD-II
connector of Plug-n-Play cable and stays visible from the driver’s side.
The number of LED’s flashes corresponds to the error code. See table 4 for the
codes description and possible solutions.
