Troubleshooting
Device will not power on
Ensure the tablet is fully charged. Connect the charger and verify the charging indicator is active. Try a different power outlet.
Bluetooth VCI not connecting
Ensure the VCI is powered on and within range of the tablet. Restart both the VCI and the tablet. Re-pair the VCI through the tablet's Bluetooth settings.
Cannot access specific vehicle systems or functions
Verify that you have the correct vehicle selected and that the VCI is properly connected. Check if the required software for that specific make/model/function is installed and updated. For FCA vehicles, ensure you have valid gateway access credentials.
Slow performance or frequent disconnections
Ensure the tablet has sufficient free storage space. Close unnecessary background applications. Check for software updates for both the tablet and the VCI firmware. Ensure you are within the optimal Bluetooth range.
