Vehicle Connection
The tablet communicates with the vehicle via the BT connection provided by
the MaxiVCI Mini.
To connect the MaxiVCI Mini to the test vehicle, insert the Vehicle Data
Connector on the MaxiVCI Mini into the vehicle
’s DLC which is generally
located under the vehicle dash and the MaxiVCI Mini will be automatically
powered on.
NOTE
The vehicle
’s DLC is not always located under the dash; refer to the vehicle’s
user manual for DLC location.
VCI Connection
The MaxiVCI Mini Power LED will light solid green when properly connected
to vehicle and ready to establish communication with the tablet.
The wireless diagnostic interface MaxiVCI Mini supports two communication
methods with the tablet, wireless BT and wired USB.
BT Connection
BT pairing is the recommended communication between the tablet and the
MaxiVCI Mini. The working range for BT communication is about 33 feet
(about 10 m), enabling remote vehicle diagnostics.
If you use more than one MaxiVCI Mini to connect to the test vehicles, you
can perform vehicle diagnosis on various vehicles conveniently by pairing the
tablet separately to each of the MaxiVCI Mini devices connected to the
different test vehicles via wireless BT. Without the need to repeat the plugging
and unplugging procedure which is unavoidable through traditional wired
connection, BT connection saves you more time and provides higher
efficiency.
