1. An on-board communication device configured to be communicably connected to on-board ECUs provided in a vehicle, and to acquire configuration information transmitted from the on-board ECUs, the on-board communication device comprising:
a control unit,
wherein the control unit controls communication with an external authentication device that is connected from outside of the vehicle when replacement or addition of an on-board ECU is performed,
the control unit transmits a signal to the external authentication device when a previously acquired configuration is different from a presently acquired configuration information, and
determines that the on-board ECU has undergone improper replacement or addition when a signal from external authentication device is not received.
