    I wish there was a smaller VCI device sometimes the maxisys vci tends to get in the way. Or possibly a more flexible connection cable. Seems like the one that comes with the tool is too stiff and not flexible enough in the OBD connection area.

    Yes, an ideal vci for me will be a vci that connects directly to the obd2 no cables but
    they can include an adapter for those hard to reach places sort of what bwm does with
    The icom tool.

     Yes I agree. Something like a Witech Micropod II with a flexible  jumper cable for hard to reach OBD areas.

    On the other pov, the bluetooth vci is so small on the launch scantools that people
    loose them. I like having the chorded vci sitting on the drivers seat, I can still walk
    around the car with the scanner and no one will back it out still connected because
    they'll end up sitting on the vci first.

     I work for a Chrysler dealership and have my own witech micropod. It came with a hang tag that is bright yellow so being left in a vehicle can be prevented. Another pod got left in a vehicle one time but we called the customer and they returned it. I've heard of shops tying a bottle or something to the pod to prevent from accidently being left in a vehicle.

     I have never had a problem accessing an obd port with my vci...
