Read Before Starting
The Remote Vehicle Data (RVD) OBD device can be used in any private or light commercial motor
vehicle that has an OBDII interface.
Pure electric vehicles (EV) are currently not compatible with this OBD device. However, Plug-In
Hybrid vehicles are supported.
On some vehicles mounting modifications could be required to secure the device i.e. removing of
panels.
For such cases two different harnesses are available and need to be purchased separately.
1.) Simple OBD extension to place your device away from the engine diagnostic port’s location
2.) Y-type harness to keep the diagnostic port exposed
The Y-type harness requires completion by a Professional Installer to ensure a secure installation.
An unsecure device installation can cause poor electric and/or data connection that can lead to short
circuits and fires or cause malfunctions of vehicle controls that can result in serious personal injury or
significant damage to your vehicle.

Device-Vehicle Configuration
After you signed in to your account press “Add Devices” and the RVD Connect Web App will guide
you through the configuration process.
The OBD device needs to connect to the mobile network in order to complete the configuration
process. Please make sure you are not in an area with any coverage issues like an underground
parking or closed garage.
When RVD Connect asks you to scan the QR code on the device sticker you can also scan the QR code
from the sticker included in the box. The sticker on the device and the sticker in the box are identical.
When RVD Connect asks you to manually input the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and you
cannot find it in any vehicle-related documentation please consider that the VIN is always located on
your car. The make and model of your vehicle determine where to find the VIN, however, the most
likely spot is on the dashboard near the windshield. Also, under the bonnet there can be
a VIN stamped within the bodywork.
Attention: Make sure your vehicle is OFF and stationary before installing your RVD 4G OBD
Dongle.
Attention: Ensure no dashboard warning lights are on in the vehicle while it is running, and all other
functions such as headlamps and flashers etc. are working prior to installing the device.
Attention: During the whole configuration process the vehicle must be stationary and may not be
moved.

How to install your OBD Device
-Find the OBDII Port
The RVD 4G OBD device plugs into the OBDII port of your vehicle. In most cases you can find the OBD
port of your vehicle in the driver’s legroom below knee level, under the driver side dashboard near
the steering column or in the center console. If you cannot find the OBD port search the user manual
of your vehicle for more details or call the Continental Support Desk (contact information is given
below).
-Plug your Device to the OBD Port
Insert the OBD device into the OBDII port until the whole OBDII port of the vehicle is covered by the
connector.

Start driving
After both the RVD Connect Web App and the device itself (both LEDs solid) indicate that the
configuration has been completed successfully you can start driving. The device and its sensors
(accelerometer, gyroscope, GNSS) will calibrate themselves during the first 10 minutes of the drive.
Afterwards the device is fully functional and starts collecting and sending data. The first vehicle data
should be visible in the RVD Connect Web App after the first trip has been finished and the engine
turned off.
Attention: Do not use your phone or the RVD Connect Web App while driving.

Use the WiFi Hotspot

the back of this leaflet. The WiFi Hotspot is automatically activated when ignition is turned on and
deactivated x minutes after the ignition was turned off. The WiFi Hotspot only works with your own
Nano SIM card. Therefore, please remove the Nano SIM card from the SIM card slot supplied
together with the device and insert a SIM card providing sufficient data volume from one of the
following Mobile Network Operators:
