Getting Started
Ma in
Installing Software and Configuration Tools
The first step to using the API, is installing the needed drivers and dlls. This can be done in a few different ways. Installing Vehicle Spy 3 (full and free version) or the API install kit found
on the CD that shipped with the hardware will take care of this step. Software can also be found on support page of Intrepid Control Systems Website.
From the CD that shipped with the unit, run the icsAutoPlay.exe from the root of the disc (if it does not start automatically). This will give you the option of installing Vehicle Spy 3 or the
API install kit. From the Website, the following links will have the latest software.
-Vehicle Spy 3 Trial includes everything in the API install kit and has Vehicle Spy 3 Trial.
-API install kit for RP1210, J2534, and Intrepid Controls Systems' API.
Installing the neoVI device on USB
Next, verify that you have the following minimum system requirements:
One free USB port
Windows XP (SP3), Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, or 10 (Windows RT is not supported)
If Ve hicle Spy 3 is installe d, the ha rdware drivers are also installed . W he n a de vice is plugg e d in, W indo ws s ho uld recognize it a nd finis h the drive r install.
Installation Support
If you have any problems installing neoVI or ValueCAN devices, please call Intrepid Control Systems, Inc. at 810-731-7950.
