CAN CLIP Installation Guide (V220 to V240)

Before we begin

Temporarily disable your antivirus during installation (and then re-enable it afterwards).
Ideally: add installation folders as exceptions to avoid false positives.
Work on a Windows administrator session .
Close any auto-starting software (antivirus, security services, “tuning/USB” suites, etc.).
Recommended versions : V231 / V234 are the most stable offline. Higher versions (≥ V237) may require online/token access and are often less compatible offline.

Unzip each archive into its own folder (right click → Extract).

Unzip CAN CLIP V231.zip (or your version) into un dossier sur votre bureau.
Unzip DRIVERS ET ACTIVATION CAN CLIP.zip into un dossier sur votre bureau.
Double-click Install Fix.reg → Yes to add to the registry.

Activation is now complete and functional.

Install Bosch Driver.exe .
Install RENAULT VCI Driver 1.8.9.0708.exe .
(Optional) Before opening CAN CLIP, launch Renault VCI Driver to check/update the probe's firmware and license if necessary.

Install V9.0.1422.248.exe (VCI 3 drivers) and follow the wizard. “VCI Manager (RNM)” will be created on the desktop.
Connect the VCI 3 to the PC (USB).
- Windows will display “Device not recognized” for a few seconds → this is normal .
- The probe beeps once when it is recognized and the two red right lights on the probe are lit (PC and Power).
Launch “VCI Manager (RNM)” from your desktop.
- Verify that the probe appears with an SN: xxxxx .
- Click Connect .
Close VCI Manager (RNM) before launching CAN CLIP. This will not interrupt the connection, but this step is essential for the software to function correctly.
Launch CAN CLIP from the Desktop shortcut.

USB cable properly inserted, ignition on in the vehicle.
In CAN CLIP, check the VCI detection .
If you are using a VCI 3 over Wi-Fi , follow the included Word document for configuration (SSID, password, AP/Client mode, etc.).

Driver conflict : Do not install both driver families (VCI1 and VCI3) together on the same machine. Install only those corresponding to your probe.
Antivirus : Remember to reactivate your antivirus software after installation and add the folder C:\CLIP_X91\ to your exceptions list.
USB & power : use a rear USB port (desktop PC) and avoid unpowered hubs.
Windows compatibility : Run as Administrator . If an error occurs, test compatibility mode (right-click → Properties → Compatibility).
Versions ≥ V237 : often less functional offline and likely to require tokens online → favour V231 / V234 for offline use.

CAN CLIP does not see the probe
- VCI 1: reinstall Bosch Driver + Renault VCI Driver , connect directly via USB, restart the PC.
- VCI 3: Make sure you have installed V9.0.1422.248.exe , reconnect the probe (wait for the beep ), open VCI Manager (RNM) → Connect → close → launch CAN CLIP.
Persistent “Device not recognized” message (VCI 3)
- Change USB ports, restart, reinstall the VCI 3 package.
Installer blocked
- Return to a clean Windows (without other diagnostic suites active), disable third-party services, empty %temp% , restart as Admin.
