CAN CLIP V231 — Renault / Dacia diagnostic software (Download)

CAN CLIP V231 is the stable, offline-ready version of the Renault/Dacia diagnostic software. It is compatible with VCI 1 sensors (pre-2025 hardware) and VCI 3 sensors (2025 and later hardware). Drivers for each sensor type are included .

Summary & Compatibility

• Recommended stable offline versions: V231 and V234 .

• Important: All versions above V234 (e.g., V237, V240) require a Renault token (software key/dongle) upon vehicle authentication — these versions are therefore not suitable for offline use.

• Supported probes:

  • VCI 1 — probes prior to 2025 (Bosch / Renault VCI)

  • VCI 3 — probes from 2025 onwards (new generation)

• Drivers provided for each probe (VCI 1 and VCI 3) with the download.

ℹ️ Important: certain so-called secure operations — such as online telecoding, advanced learning, ECU updates or key and hands-free card programming — require a Renault token and cannot be carried out offline , regardless of the software version.
Furthermore, vehicles produced after 2016-2017 may also require a token for any communication with the computers, making offline diagnostics impossible .
In this case, it is recommended to use an older RTL2002 probe with CAN CLIP V192 software (maximum) to ensure compatibility and access to diagnostics on 2016 to 2019 models.
