The ABRITES VIN Reader is a standalone device which allows you to read the vehicle’s identification number, mileage stored in different modules and to generate comprehensive report with the click of a button. This Bluetooth-enabled interface is compatible with nearly all vehicle brands on the market. It allows you to connect to the vehicle and read the VIN numbers and kilometers via the OBDII port. Within 30 seconds the VIN Reader shows the identification numbers, then cross-checks it against a couple of databases for stolen vehicles, which ensures safety and security, both for professionals and for end users. Using the VIN Reader you can also check the mileage in each module and see if it has been tampered with in any way.
