The MaxiFlash Elite ECU programming device supports BT and USB
communications. It can transmit vehicle data to the tablet with or without a
physical connection. The working range of the transmitter through BT
communication is 210 feet (about 70 m). A signal lost due to moving out of
range automatically restores itself when the tablet unit is brought closer to the
VCI unit.

(DLC). For non OBD II/EOBD compliant vehicles, the device can be powered
from a cigarette lighter or other suitable power port on the test vehicle using
the auxiliary power cable.

The MaxiFlash Elite programming device can be powered from a wall socket
using the AC/DC power adapter.
