J1939 plug for VMSpc

[Billdreamlv]

We have a 2006 Allegro Bus Cummins 400HP. Does anyone know where the J1939 plug is located on the engine for a VMSpc Silverleaf engine monitor Jib. And what kind is it. How many pins and size.

I can watch my rolling mpg and actually make changes to my driving by seeing the mpg change. When I pull into get fuel, I check my fuel used and know within a couple of gallons how much I'll take.

X2. More info than what your dash instruments provide.

It will run on windows based tablets also if you're limited in space. My old tablet is still running windows 2000 and vmspc. Ebay is a good source for used windows tablets.

Thanks guys. Found it right where you said it would be. Now I need to convince myself that the VMSpc is the way to go.

Just left of the steering wheel just below the dash, it has a gray twist off cap 1½"-2" in diameter on our Phaeton.

On my Foretravel, it is located on left side wall in front of knee under dash.
No longer able to drive with out it, only thing on dash now is the air pressure gauges, everything else is on the VMSpc, much more info than I ever imagined.

On my 05 it is under the dash behind the steering column, hard to find but it is there. I don't remember the number of pins but if I can find the info I will post it. Mine was a grey round and had a cap on it.
