A dealership can recover its purchase price almost immediately through additional service sales.

Network and Connectivity Questions

What if I don’t have an internet connection or my location has unreliable connectivity? Can I still use wiTECH 2.0?

You can use a hotspot or other cellular technology to allow connection, but wiTECH 2.0 is an online-only model. For business use, wireless devices that provide backup cellular capability (e.g. Cradlepoint devices) prove to be effective in allowing the dealership to continue uninterrupted operations.

Can I perform road tests?

Yes. wiTECH 2.0 is an online model, so you will need to connect your microPod device and tablet to a mobile hotspot or cellular modem. If your tablet or phone has a built in hotspot, then you can just connect your microPod to your mobile device.  This configuration makes for a simple on road experience. We strongly suggest that you take a partner on drivability rides to operate the mobile device to ensure you are not distracted during your testing. As with the wiTECH 1.0 system, an internet connection is not required when the VCI device is in flight recorder mode.

What hotspot does wiTECH 2.0 support?

We have used a variety of devices ranging from smartphones, cellular modems like Mi-Fi, and USB cellular dongles. If you choose to use your personal cellphone, remember that you may be charged for the data transfer by your carrier.

Why didn’t wiTECH 2.0 fix my networking issues?

Almost all networking problems, outside of hardware device failures, are the result of Wi-Fi or wired infrastructure issues in the dealership. It is important that the dealership have full Wi-Fi coverage in the service shop by installing sufficient access points. We support more than 10,000 dealerships worldwide using TCP/IP networking protocols. We know that networking requires appropriate technical talent be available to the dealership. It is important that the dealership understand this as well. Within the NAFTA market we have found that network complaints almost exclusively result from simple, solvable concerns covered by knowledge base articles. Please refer to the Networking section of the knowledge base for articles that will help your IT department resolve the majority of issues.
