Wireless Communication
The MaxiVCI Mini supports BT communication. It can transmit vehicle
data to some Autel Diagnostic Tools including MaxiCheck MX808TS
and MaxiTPMS TS608 without a physical connection. The working
range of the transmitter through BT communication is about 33 feet
(about 10 m). A signal lost due to moving out of range automatically
restores itself when the display unit is brought closer to the MaxiVCI Mini
unit.
USB Connectivity
The MaxiVCI Mini also provides a direct connection to some Autel
Diagnostic Tools including MaxiCheck MX808TS and MaxiTPMS TS608
or a PC via a USB 2.0 full-speed connection. All of the electronics are
contained in the device shell, making it a compact and rugged vehicle
communication tool.
Power Source
The MaxiVCI Mini operates on 12-volt vehicle power, which it receives
through the vehicle data connection port. The unit powers on whenever
it is connected to an OBD II/EOBD compliant data link connector (DLC).
It can also be powered through connection with a PC via the USB cable,
so there
’s no need to connect the device to the vehicle when performing
firmware update through the PC.
