Hi everyone,
I’m fitting a cobra a4615 to my 2014 Citroen dispatch. Does anyone know if it’ll need activating within the vans settings to work? Or will it just work when fitted?
Thanks in advance

How do ?
Messing around with modern vehicle electronics is bad.
You will have interfered with the canbus system.
I used to fit tracking systems to posh cars and money wagons and I can tell you that you have to be very careful.
When I fitted a tracker to a Ferrari F40 all was good until the exhaust sensor told the control unit (ECU) it was unhappy.
The repair from Ferrari was £36,000 and this was 1995ish.
Modern cars are basically computers on wheels.
Any change in resistance while the vehicle is started will feck up the computer.
Vehicles are all CANBUS these days and unless you use the manufactures systems you will have many problems.
There is a big business in CANBUS and the equipment costs a lot so expect to pay lots for repairs.
Unless you are a hacker !
