Programming Capability
The MaxiFlash VCI device is a D-PDU, SAE J2534 & RP1210 compliant PassThru
programming interface device. Using the updated OEM software, it is capable of replacing
the existing software/firmware in the Electronic Control Units (ECU), programming new
ECUs, and fixing software-controlled drivability issues and emission issues.
Communication Capability
The MaxiFlash VCI device supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and USB communications. It can
transmit vehicle data to the tablet with or without a cable connection. In open areas, the
working range of the transmitter through Bluetooth communication is up to 328 feet (about
100 m). The working range of 5G Wi-Fi is up to 164 feet (50 m). If the signal is lost due to
being taken out of range, communication will be restored once the tablet is within range.
2.2.2 Power Sources
The VCI device can receive power from the following sources:
Vehicle Power
AC/DC Power Supply
Vehicle Power
The VCI device operates on 12/24 Volt vehicle power, which receives power via the
vehicle data connection port. The device powers on whenever it is connected to an
OBDII/EOBD compliant data link connector (DLC). For non OBDII/EOBD compliant
vehicles, the device can be powered from an auxiliary power outlet adapter or other
suitable power port on the test vehicle using the auxiliary power cable.
