4.4.1.2 VCI Connection
The MaxiVCI V200 Power LED will light solid green when properly connected
to vehicle and ready to establish communication with the tablet.
The wireless diagnostic interface MaxiVCI V200 supports two communication
methods with the tablet, wireless Bluetooth and wired USB.
⚫ Bluetooth Connection
Bluetooth pairing is the recommended communication between the tablet and
the MaxiVCI V200.
If you use more than one MaxiVCI V200 to connect to the vehicles tested,
you can perform vehicle diagnosis on various vehicles conveniently by pairing
the tablet separately to each of the MaxiVCI V200 devices connected to the
different test vehicles via Bluetooth. Without the need to repeat the plugging
and unplugging procedure which is unavoidable through traditional wired
connection, Bluetooth connection saves you more time and provides higher
efficiency. Refer to Bluetooth Connection on page 129 for details.
⚫ USB Cable Connection
Use the provided USB cable to connect the tablet and the MaxiVCI V200. A
green check will display atop the VCI navigation button at the bottom of the
screen and the MaxiVCI Connection LED will light solid green when
connection between the devices is successful.
NOTE
The USB communication method will take priority over Bluetooth
communication if both are enabled.
