VCI Connection
The MaxiVCI Mini Power LED will light solid green when properly
connected to the vehicle and ready to establish communication with the
tablet.
The wireless diagnostic interface MaxiVCI Mini supports 2 communication
methods with the tablet, wireless BT and USB.
BT Connection
BT pairing is recommended as the first choice for the 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.
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.
Refer to BT Pairing on page 91 for details.
USB Cable Connection
Use the provided USB cable to connect the tablet to the MaxiVCI Mini. A
green check will display atop the VCI navigation button at the bottom bar
of the screen and the MaxiVCI Mini Connection LED will light solid green
when connection between the devices is successful.
NOTE
The USB communication method will take priority over BT communication
if both are enabled.
