RAND MCNALLY FLEET Rand Platform Android Vehicle Link User Guide

Thank you for being a Rand McNally customer. The aim of this quick start guide is to get the Vehicle Link installed in your truck and the companion app connected and working.

Make sure your vehicle is turned off
Locate the diagnostic port which is typically found in one of the following places:
- Above the footrest
- Under the dashboard or steering column
- On the left or right of the pedals
- Under the driver’s seat
- In the fuse box
- Near the handbrake
Plug the Vehicle Link into the 9-pin connector.
Turn the outer ring clockwise until the device is securely in place.
Please contact Rand McNally at 800-641-7263 if your vehicle connector has something other than a 9-pin configuration.
Turn on your vehicle.
When the vehicle connection is detected by the Link, the light will change from red to green.
The device will pulse white while initiating connection to GPS and continue to pulse through white, blue, and green as Bluetooth becomes discoverable.
Next you need a Rand McNally app. You can use your own Android phone or tablet.
- On a phone or tablet go to the Google Play store and search for “Rand VL App”.
  Download and install the app.
Open the Rand VL App on your phone or tablet.
Follow the on-screen steps to pair the Rand VL App with the Vehicle Link, and to register your company with Rand McNally. Your Vehicle Link will appear as “RM VL + your ELD’s unique ID” in the list of available devices.
The device will show a pulsing green light to indicate the successful completion of the installation.
