Abrites VIN Reader / MODI is a Bluetooth OBD2 interface for the MODI mobile app (iOS/Android). The VIN Reader app is free; brand diagnostics and coding need a MODI subscription (1 year included, then paid yearly). Generic OBD2 works without subscription. Brands are those listed on modiobd.com; models, years and the exact function list per brand are not published. Coverage is entered at brand level; model lists are not published by Abrites. Years are given only where Abrites states them. Many functions need an active Abrites Annual Maintenance Subscription (AMS) and separately sold brand licenses. Please check your VIN with the manufacturer before purchase.
