Description

VIN Reader/MODI is a plug-in OBD-II interface (dongle) from Abrites for reading a vehicle's VIN and mileage, checking stolen-vehicle databases and running diagnostics from a phone. It connects over Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 (range up to 60 m in open space) or Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and communicates with the vehicle over CAN and K-Line. It works with two apps: the free VIN Reader app (no license needed) and the MODI Mobile Diagnostics app (one year of subscription included), which offers module scans, reading and clearing trouble codes, live data, health reports and, in Advanced mode, coding and actuator tests. Compatible with nearly all vehicle brands on the market. The app's availability in app stores is limited to a list of countries. Also part of the Abrites Vehicle Inspection Kit.
