It's a little box with 4 LEDs and a digital voltmeter wired in to a rotary
selector switch. A ribbon cable connects it via a DB-25 jack hard-wired to
specific ECU pins. You can either add this jack to your own ECU (requires
opening, soldering, etc) or I think you can get one from Van-Cafe. Best to
get the full details (with pics!) by the Digitool creator himself, Darrell
Boehler, at <http://www.loam.org/vw/Vanagon/DigiTool/>
