Setting up Vehicle Spy

First it is recommended to give your RAD-Meteor a custom name. This is described in the Windows setup topic.

Vehicle Spy is licensed software. To use Vehicle Spy with RAD-Meteor, you must have a licensed hardware such as Value-CAN or neoVI.

To use RAD-Meteor you must enable Ethernet NIC support inside Vehicle Spy. Enter the options dialog from the Tools drop down menu. Then select the check box: "Use PC Ethernet interface" (Figure 1).
