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. While Autel’s testing and the experiences of the users have shown the unit to be safe and reliable, there is an inherent risk in using any product that may potentially affect the operation or drive-ability of your vehicle. If you are concerned about the operation of your vehicle at any time while using the MaxiVCI V100: Pull off the roadway immediately or as soon as it is safe to do so. Disconnect the device from the OBDII port. Consult a licensed mechanic or automobile service center. Contact your local distributor, or visit www.autel.com for issues or concerns about the product. We maintain an active database of the feedback we receive, and your comments can help us continuously improve the product. 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. The MaxiVCI V100 can communicate with vehicles’ electronic control units (ECUs), guaranteeing performance and speed that redefine multi-brand diagnostics. The development of this interface has been focused on reducing the communication time, and ensuring the tool is practical to use. The MaxiSys diagnostic platform combines the MaxiVCI V100 and the display tablet with technical information into a single program, ensuring quick and simple access to the vehicle to perform comprehensive diagnostics applications. 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 2.0 full-speed connection. All of the electronics are contained in the device shell, making it a compact and rugged vehicle communication tool. Power Source The MaxiVCI V100 operates on 12-volt vehicle power, which it receives through the vehicle data connection port. The unit powers on whenever it is connected to an OBD II/EOBD compliant data link connector (DLC). It can also be powered through connection with a PC via the USB cable, so there’s no need to connect the device to the vehicle when performing firmware update through the PC. Functional Description The MaxiVCI V100 device package includes the unit, user manual, and a CD with driver program and update agent. 1. Lighting Push Button 2. Power LED 3. Vehicle LED 4.

Vehicle Linking Error A communication error occurs if the MaxiVCI V100 fails to communicate with the vehicle’s control module when performing diagnostic procedures. You need to do the following check-ups: Verify that the ignition is ON. Check if the device’s vehicle data connector is securely connected to the vehicle’s DLC. Turn the ignition off and wait for about 10 seconds. Turn the ignition back to on and continue the operation. Verify the control module is not defective. PC Communication Error Verify the interface device is powered, and the power LED is illuminated green. Check if there is any firewall software interfering with the connection port. Check if the green status light is illuminated for USB communication. If these issues have been addressed, verified, and you are still having trouble, please contact technical supports for assistance.
