Today we’ll go over pairing Autel AP200 updating the firmware and scanning the vehicle.
Before we start, you might want to check your internet or cellular connection we recommend doing this over cellular data. If not, then a very strong and stable Wi-Fi connection. If your router is far away from the vehicle and you are outside, please try to use cellular data.
Now let’s select the AP200 APP on the phone, I already have my free software downloaded for my vehicle, but to purchase additional software or download your free one, please select the Plus sign on the bottom.
We have already plugged the Autel Scanner MAXIAP AP200 device into the vehicle with the green light showing power, but there is a red X on the VCA image on the top right corner indicating it is not connected. We will now have to go into our Bluetooth settings on the phone, power on the Bluetooth and wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
You should now see your device show up, select it to connect is any messages appear asking it to connect always select allow.
