# 23789701 Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

## 🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta Easy Connect adapter cable kit, weighing 0.274 kg. It is the adapter listed for diesel engines with EVC-A, which need it in addition to the Easy Connect interface itself. The interface plugs into the multilink at the helm station and gives the Easy Connect app a Bluetooth link to the engine and driveline; it also carries NMEA 2000 functionality, so it can be connected to an existing network in the boat and can convert engine data for compatible chart plotters and multifunction displays.
