Overview
A wireless MaxiVCI dongle plugs into the OBD port and streams data to an Android tablet, so you can walk around the car while commanding windows, fans, injectors and pumps. Autel adds full system scans, service resets and Wi-Fi printed reports.
Shop-level active tests and newer CAN FD and DoIP protocols in a handheld tablet cover far more than a code reader. The FCA AutoAuth account and update renewal after the first year are separate purchases, and function support depends on the exact car.
Who it's for
Home garages that bleed ABS, code injectors and calibrate steering angle sensors get real use from it. A casual driver checking a warning light needs only a basic reader.
Pros and cons
- Thousands of bidirectional active tests
- Wide service and reset coverage
- Wireless VCI frees you from the cable
- Wi-Fi printed pre and post scan reports
- Update renewal after the first year
- FCA AutoAuth sold separately
- Battery test needs a separate tester
- Function coverage varies by vehicle
Performance notes
Bidirectional control works by sending commands to each control module and watching the actuator respond, which pins a fault to a part rather than a circuit. Newer CAN FD and DoIP protocols are needed to talk to recent GM, Volvo, Jaguar Land Rover and BMW platforms. A wireless link means the tablet's battery and Wi-Fi strength set the working limits.
