VDO RoadLog™ EOBR Installation
1. Make sure you have the correct
Installation Kit!
• RoadLog can be connected with 6-pin, 9-pin, 16-pin
OBDII or open-end “basic” cable. Only one cable is
required. Choose the one that fits your connector or
choose the open-end if you have no connector and will
connect individual wires to the vehicle. (For basic cable,
installation by a professional shop is recommended.
When using the basic cable the ignition line should be
connected.)
• Each cable is supplied with the basic installation bracket.
Y-Cables are an optional upgrade that retain an open
cable connector in the cab.
2. Choose your Mounting Option.
• The “basic” bracket is included with each
installation kit. The optional omni-directional mount
(Part #3290-90110100) allows for more mounting
location options and greater control of the viewing angle.

3. Choose your Mounting Location.
*Recommended locations
A. Top of the dash driver’s left side*
B. Top of the dash driver’s center*
C. Instrument panel driver’s right side
D. Overhead console driver’s left side
E. Overhead console driver’s center side
F. Overhead console driver‘s right side
4. Attach your Bracket or Mount.
• The bracket or omni-directional mount can be attached
with the adhesive foam pads or with screws and well-
nut inserts supplied. When using the adhesive foam
pads be sure to clean the surface with a single direction
swipes by using an alcohol prep pad supplied in the
installation kit. Let it dry and apply the tape. The tape
will cure in 24-48 hours. The best results are achieved
when the surface is warm, so you may want to warm up
the cab if the ambient temperature is low.
• Screws and well-nut inserts will require drilling into the
cab’s interior. If using screws, first mark the mounting
holes using the bracket or omni-mount base plate as a
guide. Make sure to avoid drilling into any electrical
cables and air supply lines underneath the surface.
• If using well-nuts, use a 3/8” drill bit to create a hole in
which to insert the well-nut shaft. Again, make sure to
avoid drilling into the electrical cables and air supply
lines underneath the surface.
5. Prepare the RoadLog.
• Unpack the EOBR.
• Remove the service panel on the underside.
• Insert the Battery.
• Connect the cable.
• Close the service panel.
Pry open the service panel
with a small, athead
screwdriver.
Plug the battery connector into
the jack and place the battery
into the holder.
Check marking and plug the data
cable. Attach the corrugated pipe.
Close the service panel again and
insert the three screws included
in the box.
IMPORTANT: Choose a location that will allow easy operation, but
will not block your view of the road.

6. Connect Cable.
• Run the cable from the RoadLog to the vehicle data
port. The cable can be run behind the interior dash
panels via gaps between them or by their removal
where necessary.
• Secure the cable out of the driver’s range of motion and
moving parts – coil up and secure the excess cable by
using zip ties provided.
• Connect the cable to the vehicle data port. The device
will power up and be ready for the initial on screen
setup.
• NOTE: If using the Open End Cable, follow the wiring
indications shown on Page 6.
7. Install RoadLog into Mount.
Basic bracket:
Place the RoadLog into the basic bracket and install the
knobs. Adjust the screen view angle and then tighten the
knobs.
Omni-directional mount (optional):
Loosen the handle until the upper portion of the mount can
be removed. Attach the upper mount to the underside of the
RoadLog using screws provided. Place the RoadLog and
upper mount back into the clamp and retighten while
adjusting the screen view angle as required.
8. Load Paper Roll.
To load the paper roll (Part # 3290-90010100), lift the access
panel at the top of the RoadLog, lay the paper roll into
the cavity and pull the leading edge of the paper forward,
towards the screen. The roll should be inserted so that when
the paper comes out, it curls towards the back of the unit.

Instructions for Open
End “Basic” Cable
If using the Open End “Basic”
Cable, follow the pin / wire color
assignments from the table:
Note: If the vehicle ignition line is
accessible during RoadLog
installation, it’s recommended that
the ignition line be connected with
the device (see vehicle connector).
If the ignition line is connected, it’s
recommended that the
Wake up condition configuration
parameter be set to the ignition
only setting.
For the vehicles in which the
ignition line is not accessible,
RoadLog can detect the vehicle
ignition on / off status based on
the vehicle synchronization data
received. Therefore, if the ignition
line is not connected, the Wake
up condition configuration
parameter should be set to the
ignition or vehicle data setting. See
Setting the Wake up condition
If the ignition or vehicle
configuration setting is chosen, the
installer must verify that RoadLog
is in fact receiving
the ignition on / off status
based on the received vehicle
synchronization data. If the status
is not being received, RoadLog
cannot function properly.

VDO RoadLog EOBR Fundamentals
1. VDO RoadLog EOBR Fundamentals
RoadLog EOBR is designed to eliminate the need for paper
logs, while keeping Drivers in compliance with all FMCSA
Hours of Service (HOS) and Driver Vehicle Inspection Report
(DVIR) regulations.
Free upcoming software updates will include reporting on
IFTA mileage and IRP miles and compliance with rules for
Canada, Alaska and oil field.
With RoadLog, a Driver can:
• Automatically calculate and display HOS daily driving
availability, HOS daily duty availability and HOS weekly
duty availability based on the limits imposed by FMCSA
regulations.
• Record Off Duty Status activities (RODS data).
RoadLog will store the RODS data for the current day
and the previous 14 calendar days.
• Receive audio and visual warnings before exceeding
the driving and HOS duty limits and receive warnings
again after exceeding the driving and HOS duty limits.
• Take exemptions from HOS rules when required
(personal use, emergency conditions, adverse driving
conditions, 16-hour extension and 100 and 150 air-
miles radius Driver).
• View and print the HOS daily log for the current day as
well as each of the past 14 days.
• Assign up to three trailers to the trip.
• Assign up to five shipping documents to the trip.
• Create, view and print pre-trip and post-trip DVIRs by
entering data for the vehicle and the current trailers.
• Comply with roadside inspections by proving HOS logs
and DVIRs via data transfer on USB or by printing them
directly from RoadLog’s built-in thermal printer.
• Record various trip activities such as meals, fueling and
vehicle wash and print out Supporting Documents for
these activities directly from the RoadLog’s built-in
thermal printer.
• Download vehicle data and DVIR data recorded by
RoadLog over the course of the past 30 calendar days
to any Fleet Key or Driver Key belonging to the logged-
in company.
• Carry data from one vehicle to another if he/she
changes vehicles in a fleet.
• At the end of each day’s work, log out and download
RODS data to the Driver Key and submit that data to
the company.
Chapter 3: VDO RoadLog™ EOBR Operation
58
VDO RoadLog EOBR Fundamentals
Operating RoadLog:
The key functions required to operate RoadLog include:
Company Log In:
Before any Driver can log in to RoadLog, the company must be
logged in so that all the data can be recorded under a company
account. Company log in can be done automatically with an
activated Fleet Key.
Note: More than one company can share a single RoadLog,
but only one company can be logged in at a time.
RoadLog Configuration:
RoadLog configuration requires setting vehicle and company
parameters such as VIN, language preference and vehicle license
plate number. Configuration data can be entered directly through
the RoadLog touch screen, or data can be entered into the Fleet
Software and transferred to the RoadLog via the Fleet Key.
Note: Company data cannot be transferred to RoadLog via
the Driver Key.
Important: Serial number of the RoadLog vehicle unit needs
to match the serial number provided during the tractor
creation process in the Fleet Software.
Driver Log In / Log Out:
Drivers must log in on their RoadLog at the beginning of the work
period, whether they’re about to begin Driving or going On Duty.
Drivers can log in and log out automatically, with their personalized
Driver Key, or manually through the RoadLog Touch Screen,
provided they were logged in with their Driver Key at an earlier time,
or their Driver Profile has been uploaded to RoadLog via the Fleet
Key.
Data Download / Upload:
Data recorded by RoadLog is downloaded to the Driver Key for
transfer to the Fleet Software. Once entered in the Fleet Software,
the data can be analyzed and archived to maintain compliance with
FMSCA regulations.
Data can be transferred using a personalized Driver Key or the
Fleet Key.
When a Driver logs in with a Driver Key, RoadLog automatically
uploads status data (RODS data) recorded during past work
sessions. When a driver downloads or uploads data, both Driver
and company-related data is transferred.

On/Off Button and Operation Modes
When power is applied to RoadLog, it starts automatically.
The splash screen is displayed during device initialization.
After initialization, RoadLog enters the active mode and is
fully operational.
As long as RoadLog is connected to the vehicle and has
power, it monitors the vehicle’s engine status. When the
vehicle engine is on, RoadLog stays in active mode. It is not
possible to turn off the device, except by disconnecting the
power supply.
When RoadLog is in active mode and the vehicle engine is
off, pressing the On/Off button switches RoadLog to sleep
mode.
When RoadLog is in sleep mode, pressing the On/Off button
switches RoadLog to active mode.
When RoadLog is in active mode, holding the On/Off button
continuously for 10 seconds causes RoadLog to reboot. The
device will restart with a software startup sequence.
When the engine is turned off and no USB data transfer,
printing or touch screen activity occurs for five minutes,
RoadLog enters sleep mode and the display automatically
darkens. During sleep mode, RoadLog consumes minimal
current from the vehicle battery.
USB Connector
A “type A” USB port is used to connect the RoadLog with
Driver Keys, the Fleet Key or any USB flash drive formatted
in FAT32 file system.
CAUTION! USB devices can only be plugged into
RoadLog when the vehicle is stopped!
Driving while a USB device is plugged into RoadLog
may cause permanent damage to both RoadLog and
the USB device.
61
VDO RoadLog EOBR Fundamentals
Printer
RoadLog has a built-in thermal printer to print roadside reports. Since it’s
a thermal printer, no ink is ever required. VDO RoadLog brand paper is
fade-resistant.
To load the paper roll, lift the access panel at the top of the RoadLog, lay
the paper roll into the cavity and pull the leading edge of the paper
forward, towards the screen. The roll should be inserted so that when the
paper comes out, it curls towards the back of the unit, not forward
towards the screen. If the paper curls forward, take the roll out and
reverse the orientation. Close the lid and tear the leading edge flush with
a downward motion.
Note: when a red line appears on the printout, it indicates the end
of the paper roll. The roll needs to be replaced.
Note: The head of the printer may get hot! Do not touch the printer
head as this may cause burns!
Note: Use only VDO RoadLog brand paper rolls! Using non-
approved paper can damage the unit and void the warranty.
GPS Antenna / Connector
RoadLog has a built-in GPS receiver and antenna, allowing it to acquire
and record position data along with RODS data. When a strong GPS
signal is received, the bar below the on-screen GPS icon turns green. If
the signal is not strong enough to compute location, a red bar is
displayed below the on-screen GPS icon.
To improve the signal reception, an external GPS antenna is available as
an optional accessory.
Note: Use only the VDO RoadLog external GPS antenna.
Non-approved antenna may not provide correct
performance.
Connector Cables
A variety of cable options are offered. See VDO RoadLog EOBR
Installation for details.

2. First Device Start Up
After Installation Into
Vehicle
After all of the installation steps as described in VDO
RoadLog EOBR Installation are completed, RoadLog starts
automatically. The splash screen is displayed during device
initialization.
RoadLog searches for a GPS signal while displaying the
GPS Synchronization screen.
Once RoadLog acquires a GPS signal, it synchronizes its
system time with GPS time and displays the GPS
Synchronization Successful screen.
RoadLog then restarts while displaying the Logo screen.
Notes: If RoadLog cannot receive a valid GPS signal, it
remains in the GPS Synchronization screen. When a signal
is acquired, RoadLog is able to synchronize the system only
with the time, not with the vehicle location.
Note: At first start-up RoadLog needs to acquire a
valid GPS signal in order to initialize and set the
internal clock of the system. RoadLog will remain in
the GPS Synchronization screen until a valid signal is
acquired and the clock has been set to the current
time.
During the initialization process, RoadLog performs a self-
test. If the self-test fails, it displays the Self-Test Failed
screen. In this case, the device is not operational and will
need to be serviced by a factory certified service provider.
During the initialization process, RoadLog verifies the internal
battery energy level. If RoadLog detects a low battery, it
displays the Battery Replacement screen. You can tap the
OK button to continue normal operation, but the battery
must be replaced soon. For instructions on battery
replacement, see “VDO RoadLog EOBR Installation.”
If RoadLog is disconnected from the power supply, it will go
through the same initial sequence seen at first device start
up, including displaying the Settings screen for no company
log in.
