NOTE
If no VCI device is found, this may indicate that the signal strength of the transmitter is
too weak to be detected. In this case try to get closer to the device, or reposition the
VCI device, and remove all possible objects that may cause signal interference. When
done, tap the Scan button at the top right corner to start searching again.
4. Depending on the VCI type you use, the device name may display as Maxi

of the device name is shown as Paired.
6. Wait for a few seconds, and the VCI button on the system Navigation bar at
the bottom of the screen shall display a green tick icon, indicating the tablet is
connected to the VCI device, and is ready to perform vehicle diagnosis.
Refer to BT Pairing on page 82 for additional information.
USB Cable Connection
The USB cable connection is a simple and quick way to establish communication
between the tablet and the VCI device. After properly connecting the USB cable from
the tablet to the VCI device, the VCI navigation button at the bottom bar of the screen
shows a green tick icon in a few seconds, and the USB LED on the VCI device
illuminates solid green light, indicating the connection between the devices is
successful.
The MaxiSys diagnostic platform is now ready to perform vehicle diagnosis.
NOTE
Since the USB connection provides the most stable and fastest communication, it is
highly recommended to apply this communication method when operating ECU
programming or coding. When all the two communication methods are applied at the
same time, the MaxiSys system will use the USB communication as the default priority.
No Communication Message
A. If the tablet is not connected to the VCI device, an “Error” message displays. An
“Error” message indicates the tablet is not communicating with the VCI device, and
so cannot gain access to the vehicle control module. In this case, you need to do
the following check-ups:
Check if the VCI device is powered on.
In case of wireless connection, check if the network is configured correctly, or
if the right device has been paired.
If during the diagnosis process, communication is suddenly interrupted due to
