MaxiVCI V150 Wireless Connection
The MaxiVCI V150 plugs directly into the vehicle's 16-pin diagnostic socket and draws power from the vehicle. The tablet pairs with the VCI via Bluetooth. The user manual specifies an operating distance of up to approximately 10 meters; walls, metal bodies, other wireless devices, and workshop layout can affect the actual distance.
Wireless connection facilitates the technician's movement around the engine bay, driver's seat, or lift with the tablet. During write and active commands, the device should not be taken out of range, and the VCI connection light and vehicle voltage should be monitored.

Product details
Active Test, Special Function, and ECU Coding
The active test menu helps observe the response of a relay, valve, fan, lamp, or other actuator by sending a command to the supported control unit. The user manual explains that test options vary by vehicle and that the tablet sends commands to the ECU to operate the actuator.
Special functions can perform recalibration or configuration of specific components after repair or part replacement. Although the ECU coding line is present in the official comparison, it does not mean online coding or programming on every vehicle; supported control units and required access must be verified separately.
Test supported outputs like solenoids, relays, and switches with commands
Use post-repair adaptation and calibration menus
Access ECU coding functions within the vehicle's scope
Verify active test results with physical measurements and live data
Product details
How to use 40 service functions in a daily workshop?
The official product comparison specifies 40 service functions for the DS900BT. The product page exemplifies oil maintenance and service interval resets, electronic parking brake pad replacement learning, forced DPF regeneration, injector coding, battery registration and reset, and steering angle sensor operations.
This number does not mean that forty menus will be opened on every vehicle. The appearance of the operation depends on the vehicle software, control unit, security access, and pre-conditions for the operation. Simply operating the tablet menu without completing the mechanical preparation does not produce correct service results.
Oil maintenance and service interval reset
EPB pad replacement and steering angle sensor operations
DPF regeneration and injector coding
Battery registration, replacement, and reset menus
Other per-vehicle adaptations and maintenance functions
Product details
Limit of CAN FD and DoIP Support
The MaxiVCI V150 supports current diagnostic protocols, including CAN FD and ISO 13400 DoIP. This feature provides the necessary hardware foundation for communication with new vehicle networks. Protocol support alone does not indicate that all brands, models, and control units are enabled.
For a vehicle using DoIP or CAN FD, the correct model year, engine, ECU, and operation to be performed must be within Autel's vehicle coverage. For vehicles with security gateways, internet connection, active software, and relevant manufacturer authorization may also be required.
Ethernet-based vehicle diagnostic communication via DoIP
Connection to new generation CAN networks via CAN FD
Support for ISO 15765, K-Line, and other common protocols
Verify vehicle/function coverage separately with protocols
Product details
Wireless Vehicle Acceptance Scan
During vehicle acceptance, the V150 is plugged into the socket, paired with the tablet, and the VIN information is verified. The Pre-Scan records accessible control units, current and historical fault codes, and communication status in the initial report. Before clearing codes, customer complaints, mileage, and warning lights are added to the service form.
Upon completion of repairs, the same vehicle is scanned again with Post-Scan. The difference between the initial and final reports is used to explain resolved faults and ongoing records to the customer.
Verify V150 connection and correct VIN record
Save Pre-Scan report before clearing codes
Isolate complaint-related systems
Obtain Post-Scan report after repair
Product details
Capture Fault Condition with Live Data
The technician notes the RPM, temperature, load, and voltage conditions under which the complaint occurred. Selected relevant sensor and control values are monitored as live data in text, graphic, or analog view. The record and playback feature facilitates later review of short-term changes.
A single value appearing outside its limits is not a direct decision for part replacement; fault codes, freeze frames, electrical measurements, and manufacturer procedures are used in the same diagnosis. After repair, a second data set is obtained under the same conditions.
Record operating conditions where the fault occurred
Select and graph necessary PID channels
Compare data with fault code and physical measurement
Recreate the same condition after repair
Product details
Perform Active Test Around the Vehicle
Wireless connection allows the technician to move to the component with the tablet and simultaneously monitor the command and physical response. The supported test is selected; while a fan, pump, relay, or valve is operated by command, its sound, movement, supply voltage, and live data are checked. Lack of response does not solely prove the component is faulty.
Fuses, cables, relays, grounds, power supplies, and ECU outputs are parts of the same circuit. At the end of the test, the command is turned off, and the system is scanned again to check if any new error records are generated.
Select the correct active test within the vehicle's scope
Prepare a safe working environment and stable battery voltage
Monitor physical response along with the command
Verify the result with circuit measurement and re-scan
Product details
Complete Maintenance and Adaptation Procedure
Before selecting electronic parking brake, battery registration, steering angle sensor, DPF, or injector operations, the correct engine and control unit are opened. The temperature, ignition position, battery support, and mechanical preparation required by the vehicle manufacturer are ensured.
The on-screen steps are applied sequentially; connection and voltage are maintained throughout the operation. After the "Successful" message, fault codes, live values, and warning lights are checked again. If a road test or learning drive is required, the service task is not considered complete until this step is finished.
Verify function on a per-vehicle and per-ECU basis
Complete mechanical and electrical pre-conditions
Apply on-screen steps according to manufacturer procedure
Final check of codes, values, and warning lights
Product details
AutoVIN, Records, and Service Report
AutoVIN speeds up the identification of brand, model, and year information in supported vehicles; the automatic reading result should still be checked against the vehicle label and work order. The device stores past test records, records and plays back live data, and displays diagnostic reports in PDF format.
The service record should separately maintain vehicle ID, mileage, date, initial finding, performed operation, and final scan. Before sending the report to the customer, personal information and vehicle details should be checked, and it should only be stored in accounts used by authorized personnel.
Compare AutoVIN result with vehicle label
Save initial and final scan reports separately
Archive live data recording with test conditions
Check customer and vehicle data before sharing

How is the DS900BT vehicle coverage checked?
The brand name alone is not sufficient for definitive compatibility. The model, model year, engine or chassis distinction, control unit, and the operation to be performed must be searched together. By selecting DS900BT in Autel's official coverage tool, system scan, live data, active test, ECU coding, and service functions are checked separately.
For vehicles with security gateways, AutoAuth, OEM authorization, or a separately purchased SGW license may be required. The exact name of the operation to be performed with the VIN must be prepared before ordering.
Prepare brand, model, year, and engine/chassis information
Clearly define the desired system and operation
Check DS900BT and relevant ECU line in Autel coverage tool
Separately verify SGW, internet, license, and adapter conditions

Differences between DS900, DS900BT, and DS900TS
The basic diagnostic functions of the three models in the DS900 family are similar; the choice is made based on connectivity and specialization needs. The DS900 works wired with the vehicle. The DS900BT adds Bluetooth connectivity with MaxiVCI V150 and provides freedom of movement around the vehicle.
The DS900TS adds comprehensive TPMS health checks, activation of known sensors, Autel MX-Sensor programming, and relearn support to the same diagnostic class. If TPMS work is not regular, the extra cost for the DS900TS may not be utilized; if wireless operation is not required, the DS900 can remain more economical.
