To pair up the tablet with the MaxiVCI V200 via Bluetooth
Power up the tablet.
Select the
VCI Manager
application from the MaxiCOM Job Menu.
Select
VCI BT
from the connection mode list. Tap the
Bluetooth
toggle to turn
it
ON
. The device automatically scans for VCIs available for Bluetooth pairing.
Available VCIs are listed in the Settings section on the right side of the screen.
NOTE
If no VCI is found, this may indicate that the signal strength is too weak to be detected.
Reposition the VCI and remove all possible objects that may cause signal interference.
Tap the
Scan
button at the top-right corner to rescan for the VCI.
Typically, the VCI name appears as “Maxi” suffixed with the VCI serial number.
Select the VCI for pairing. (If more than one VCI is used in the shop, ensure
the correct VCI is selected to pair.)
When pairing is successful, the connection status reads “Connected.”
The VCI icon on the tablet navigation bar on the bottom appears as a green
circle BT icon when the tablet and the VCI are connected.
USB Cable Connection
The USB cable connection is a simple and quick way to establish communication
between the tablet and the MaxiVCI V200. After properly connecting the USB cable from
the tablet to the VCI, the VCI navigation button at the bottom bar of the screen shows a
green badge in a few seconds, and the Connection LED on the MaxiVCI V200 illuminates
solid green, indicating the connection between the devices is successful. The MaxiCOM
Diagnostics Platform is now ready to perform vehicle diagnosis.
NOTE
When both the communication methods are applied at the same time, the MaxiCOM
system will use the USB communication as the default priority.
No Communication Message
If the tablet is not connected to the VCI correctly, an error message may display. This
indicates that the tablet cannot access to the vehicle control module. In this case, you
need to do the following check-ups:
Check if the VCI is powered up.
In case of wireless connection, check if the network is configured correctly, or if the
right VCI has been paired.
If during the diagnosis process, the communication is suddenly interrupted due to
the loss of signal, check if there is any object that causes signal interference.
Check if the VCI is properly positioned.
