Quick Start
Guide
PLEASE NOTE
Mongoose Pro interfaces have been carefully designed and tested to comply with OBDII protocols. However, some vehicle models are not in full compliance with these protocols for various reasons. In addition, the computer control systems or sensors on any given vehicle may be malfunctioning or out of specification.
While Drew Tech’s testing and the experience of thousands of Mongoose Pro users have shown the unit to be safe and reliable, there is an inherent risk in using any product that may potentially affect the operation or driveability of your vehicle.
If you are concerned about the operation of your vehicle at any time while using Mongoose Pro:
*Pull off the roadway immediately or as soon as it is safe to do so.
*Disconnect Mongoose Pro from the OBDII port.
*Consult a licensed mechanic or automobile service center.
Report any issues or concerns to our Technical Support Dept. at support@drewtech.com. We are open Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time. We maintain an active database of the feedback we receive, and your comments can help us continuously improve the product.

Introduction
Thank you for choosing Mongoose Pro! This “PassThru” vehicle interface lets you use your PC to communicate and perform ECU diagnostics and reprogramming on many modern vehicles.
The Mongoose Pro is an SAE J2534-compliant device at a low cost. It provides a direct connection to a laptop or desktop computer via a USB 2.0 full-speed connection. All of the electronics are contained in the OBD-II connector shell, making it a compact and rugged vehicle communications tool. The Mongoose Pro is powered by the USB connector, so there’s no need to re-start the Mongoose Pro if it is unplugged from a vehicle.
