What benefits does the Thinkcar mobile interface offer in daily work?
During a Bluetooth phone connection, the Thinkcar mobile interface retrieves data from supported control units in the vehicle via the Thinkcar mobile interface+ app. The Android/iOS app is checked along with the app account and selected vehicle record.
The Thinkcar mobile interface+ app transfers selected data to the phone or tablet screen during fault code and live data viewing. Vehicle and function coverage results are saved along with Bluetooth connection and vehicle software conditions.
For supported service functions to be performed on the Thinkcar mobile interface, the relevant make, model, and function record must appear in the app. Service commands should not be executed without clearly verifying license and software terms. The initial record obtained in the phone app is saved with the vehicle ID, connection time, and selected function.
When the operation is complete, a second reading is taken with the same vehicle and app account; the on-screen result is added to the service note without replacing physical inspection.
