Dear customers,

Be aware that from Firmware 78, the meta data of the REMOTE has been extended with "Altitude".

You can find the change in the Squarell REMOTE protocol description chapter 4.3.3:

Dear customers,

We would like to inform you that we have improved the calculation of the PTO for Volvo trucks.
This has been implemented in the TRKS DCFs versions from 210505 onwards.

Kind regards,
The Squarell support team

Squarell introduces the new colours for the DatacliQ: the contactless vehicle data reader for CAN Bus, SAE J1708 and ISO 11992 Bus protocols. There are four types of DatacliQs for the different protocols. Previously these were all purple, but from now on Squarell offers a different colour DatacliQ for each type.

See the overview to find out which colour belongs to which protocol.

Different colours make it easier for our customers and installers to identify what kind of DatacliQ they’re dealing with. You no longer have to look at the ID on the label anymore. 

Squarell added support for Volkswagen e-Crafter (built in 2017 and newer). The e-Crafter is an emission-free, full electric light commercial vehicle. Check the Support Portal for the vehicle parameters available for this and all other supported EVs and vehicle models.
