As the world’s modern society moves forward, it is inevitable to try and look for more means to combine efficiency with comfort and practicality. It is because we at Abrites understand the problematics and necessities of this “fast-paced” reality, that we did our best to develop our new product in a way where results could be seen in the matter of seconds, requiring only a smart-phone or a tablet.

The mobile diagnostics interface is a convenient, reliable and efficient hand-held device used together with Android or iOS based mobile devices, in order to provide you with the opportunity to run swift mobile diagnostics of your vehicle, so you can distinguish any fault codes in specific modules.

 

 

 

 

Installation

Once the MODI is received, you can download the Abrites MODI software, as well. It looks like this in the Google Play Store®, Apple App Store®

After installing the Abrites MODI application software, it will appear in the list of installed applications of either the Android or iOS based mobile device.

Using MODI Mobile Diagnostics Application

 

 

 

 

To begin working with the Mobile Diagnostics
Interface, it will be necessary to first enable Bluetooth on the given Android, IOS, or
HarmonyOS based mobile device.

This can be done by going to the Settings Menu, then Bluetooth, then Enable. Once the bluetooth is enabled the MODI application can be opened and set up.

Once the software is opened, the following options will be provided

• The first one is to connect to the MODI device (therefore a scanning process is automatically launched by the application, in order for your
  device to be discovered). This could be done by simply pressing the “Connect” button which will be displayed on the provided device. Keep in mind that in order for the device to be discovered by the application it needs to be supplied with power*. In order to supply your MODI device with power, you will need to insert it in the vehicle’s OBD II port. Following the scanning process, a list device window will appear, where the personal MODI of the user should be selected.
• The Second option is Virtual Garage, this is a virtual space for storing your vehicles, you
  could access it anytime, it is not needed the MODI
  device to be connected.
• The Third option that will be provided is to run a DEMO process. The DEMO process does not
  require the MODI device to be inserted in the
  vehicles OBDII port.

Setting your MODI Interface up

 

 

 

 

Once the MODI is connected to a power supply and the Bluetooth of the device used is ON, the MODI device which is going to be used could be selected. The Mobile Diagnostics Interface can now be used.

The DEMO button works to show you a basic example of how the application works without the MODI device, you can also use generic OBD2 option when you connect to the MODI device option where you can use it without subscribing for the application. With Generic OBD2 you can scan few modules of the vehicles, read and clear DTCs. Please note that compatibility and options depends of the vehicle manufacturer and MODI Abrites Ltd. does not guarantee that Generic OBD2 option will work on each vehicle.

• The next step is to select the brand which is going to be worked with, after that the MODI will start an automatic vehicle
  identification.

The Garage button opens the virtual garage, you can save your favorite cars there manually, or check the option to automatically add all scanned
vehicles inside. You can access Virtual Garage anytime, without need to use or connect your MODI device.

VIN Reader App Overview

VIN Reader Application is a standalone application which works with the MODI device and allows you to read VIN and odometer readings.

VIN Reader App scans the identification numbers (VIN) through various electronic modules of the vehicle, then cross-checks them against a couple of databases for stolen vehicles. This functionality can be activated or deactivated. Additional settings are available in the settings menu. VIN Reader App can work entirely offline. With the capability to detect mileage tampering, you can also choose what to scan for when using the VIN Reader App - VINs, odometer, or both.

 

 

 

 

Go to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store

Search for and download VinReader App

Connect the MODI Device

Plug the MODI device into your vehicle’s OBDII port.

• The OBDII port is typically located under the dashboard, near the driver’s seat, near the glovebox, or around the area near the footwell

Launch the App

• Enable the Bluetooth on your mobile device
• Open VinReader App on your mobile device.

• Once you connect the MODI device to the OBD port of the vehicle and your mobile phone Bluetooth is ON you can connect to the device. Now you can start using the VIN Reader App.
• Select the brand you are about to work with and the app will start scanning the VIN
  numbers and odometer readings (turned on by default) of the electronic modules
  installed in the vehicle.
• From this point on, the MODI device will communicate with your mobile device and use the vehicle’s OBD port to scan and
  display a list of modules installed in the
  vehicle. In this list, you will also see the VIN numbers of the individual modules

• VINs highlighted in green have been
  automatically checked against the
  European stolen vehicle database
  (www.stolencars24.eu) and the South
  African stolen vehicle database
  (coza.net.za), and no records of theft
  were found.

• If a VIN is highlighted in red, it means a record was found in one of the databases. In such cases, an additional pop-up will appear, providing more information about the stolen vehicle record

Using your VIN reader device in a vehicle

 

 

 

 

Odometer readings

• Odometer readings are activated by default. The VIN Reader application will first scan for VIN numbers and then proceed to retrieve odometer readings—if such data is available in the supported modules

Vehicle Report

• By pressing the “Send Report” button, you can export the results in three different
  formats: PDF, HTML, or CSV. You can also add additional information about the
  vehicle in the provided empty fields before exporting. The file is saved locally on your mobile device

Settings

• From the Settings tab, you can choose whether to check VIN numbers against
  stolen vehicle databases. If these options are enabled, internet access is required. If disabled, the entire application can run
  offline.
• You can also select what to scan: only VINs, only odometer readings, or both
• Odometer values are displayed in kilometers by default, but you can switch the unit to miles if preferred.
• Additionally, you can change the language of the application from the Settings menu.

Using your VIN reader device in a vehicle

 

Please Note

That we may not support all model variations from the
supported brands, also we may not read all VIN numbers or mileage data you expect. Also, not all vehicle brands and models keep and process data as VIN numbers or mileage readings in their electronic modules. MODI Abrites Ltd. is not eligible for the truthfulness of the extracted VIN and mileage data.
