General Notice The wireless diagnostic interface MaxiVCI V100 has been carefully designed and tested to comply with OBDII protocols. However, some vehicle models are not in full compliance with these protocols for various reasons. In addition, the computer control systems or sensors on any given vehicle may be malfunctioning.
Introduction The wireless diagnostic interface MaxiVCI V100 is a small interface box used to connect to a vehicle’s diagnostic connector (DLC) and connect wirelessly with the MaxiSys Display Tablet, as well as standalone PC, as a vehicle communication interface (VCI) for vehicle data transmission. Thanks to the wireless BT technology, with which you are allowed to work freely around the vehicle.
Wireless Communication The MaxiVCI V100 supports BT communication. It can transmit vehicle data to the MaxiSys Display Tablet without a physical connection. The working range of the transmitter through BT communication is about 164 feet (about 50 m). A signal lost due to moving out of range automatically restores itself when the display unit is brought closer to the MaxiVCI V100 unit. USB Connectivity The MaxiVCI V100 also provides a direct connection to the MaxiSys Display Tablet or a PC via a USB 2.
