How to Connect Scania 4 Series CAN with Scania VCI 2

Scania 4 series do not have a coordinator and uses VCI 1 to connect to the vehicle to run SD2/SP2. To read engine data in real time with for example Scanina XCOM you have to connect to CAN with VCI 2. To do that you need a “homemade” VCI-cable, see below, and a software-fix to connect to the engine control unit (ECU).
