To make DTS Monaco recognize your VCX scanner (which is a J2534 device), you must configure the "Interface" settings manually.

Prerequisite:
Ensure you have the VX Manager software installed and that you have installed the "Passthru" driver inside VX Manager. (Click "Diagnostic" -> "Passthru" -> Install).

Step-by-Step Configuration

1. Open System Configuration
Open the "DTS Monaco System Configuration" tool (not the main Monaco app).

2. Go to Interfaces
Click the Interfaces tab on the left side.

3. Create New Interface
* Right-click in the white space and select New Interface.
* Name: Type VCX_Interface.
* D-PDU API: Select the latest version available in the dropdown (usually starts with Softing_D_PDU_API...).
* Module Type: Select MVCI_ISO_13400_DOIP (Since your EQE is a newer car, DoIP is preferred). If that doesn't work later, try MVCI_ISO_15765_H_CAN.
* Cable / Hardware: Look for J2534 or PassThru in the list.
* Select Device: A popup might appear asking which J2534 device to use. Select VXDIAG - J2534.
* Click OK/Save.

4. Assign Interface to Your Project
* Go back to the Project Administration tab (where you added the SMR-D files earlier).
* Select your project (W295_Crash_Fix).
* Look for a setting called Interface or VCI.
* Change it from "Simulation" (or whatever it is) to the new VCX_Interface you just created.
* Save everything.

How to Test It
1. Close System Config.
2. Open the main DTS Monaco application.
3. Open your Workspace.
4. Click the Start / Connect button.
5. Look at the bottom right corner of the screen.
* Green Icon / "VCI Connected": Success.
* Red Cross / "Simulation": It is not reading the VCX. Check your VX Manager drivers again.
