Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI)
The Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI) translates vehicle diagnostic data link information for the handset
using Wi-Fi wireless technology or a linked cable. The wireless capability of the tool is designed to communi-
cate with the VCI when it is within a range of roughly 30 feet, even though it is possible to go farther. Every
shop has different noise that can interfere and hamper the distance of a wireless network. Some types of noise
include cordless phones, certain lighting, other wireless networks in the area, and other signals.
