4. 5.The duration of the connection runs from the date and time it is activated (not from the time and date of purchase), whenever the day of registration is.

Specific disclaimers

Spare parts catalogue

• Searching by chassis number requires the last seven (7) figures of the chassis number to be entered. If there are different chassis with the same last 7 numbers, the System will present a drop-down list of the available chassis, allowing the relevant one to be unambiguously identified. In the case of access to the RMI Portal, the system will request the chassis number be entered again (even if it has already been entered in the RMI Portal).
• In the case of PN replacement with from/to rule (in other words, product modification determining the application of PN 1 up to chassis X and PN 2 from chassis X+1), the System will present both solutions, giving the relevant information in terms of PN and Reference Chassis in order to allow a definitive, unambiguous choice. In practice, the "historical" status of the Component being searched for is shown, thus also showing applicability to other chassis not included in the search.

Control unit reprogramming

The technical requirements which Independent Operators will have to meet to be able to operate on IVECO Euro5 (LDV) and Euro V (HDV) (starting from Daily MY2012 E5 LD) products are listed below. The technical requirements are organised into: PC configuration requirements MVCI requirements Vehicle connectors   IMPORTANT: IVECO does not deal with third-party MVCI performance. IVECO RMI SW and relative vehicles conform to ISO 22900 as regards connections to the MVCI, while the MVCI manufacturers are responsible for their devices' correct operation with each IVECO vehicle using IVECO SW.   PC configuration requirements Minimum recommended configuration: 500 Mhz processor minimum 1 GB RAM minimum Minimum 200 MB free hard-disk space Display resolution 1024x768 minimum High-speed internet connection, e.g. DSL Software requirements: Microsoft Windows™ XP SP3 32 bit or Microsoft Windows™ 7 32 bit or Microsoft Windows™ 7 64 bit OS User signed on as administrator Internet Explorer 7.0 or later web browser Adobe Acrobat Reader version 5 or later MVCI requirements An MVCI is required (not included in the IVECO solution) compatible with ISO 22900 standards, meeting the following requirements: The link between the PC and MVCI must use a USB connection The MVCI driver and relative software must be installed by the independent operator D-PDU API setup must conform with Windows 32 bit The link between the vehicle and MVCI must be compatible with the pin-out of the connector present on the vehicle Vehicle Connector Independent Operators must bear in mind the following minimum requirements implemented on IVECO vehicles: 16-pin connector as specified in the document ISO 15031-3 Pin-out of the above-mentioned connector compatible with OBD legislation Pin 4 is connected to chassis ground Pin 5 is connected to signal ground Pin 6 is connected to CAN_H Pin 7 is connected to the K-line Pin 14 is connected to CAN_L Pin 16 is connected to the +VBatt Pins 2, 3, 10, 15 are not connected Pins 1, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 may be used for any valid combination of CAN_H, CAN_L or K-line IWD The information contained in this site may not be up to date due to modifications that the manufacturer may make at any time for technical and/or commercial reasons. Therefore, information on repairing some components may not be present inasmuch as they require repair operations to be performed directly by the service network of the manufacturer of the component itself.   This web site is continuously updated in order to best respect legislative changes and requirements. Some search methods may not yet be completely optimised, such as searching by term, by component or wiring diagram, by DTC or by symptom, even though the information necessary for the repair operation to be performed on the Iveco vehicle is available on the site. In this case it is recommended you consult the document indices, or else perform further filtering of the results using the search tools offered by the portal. The technical evolution of this site will allow vehicle identification by product features and type-approval number publication.
