The Vehicle Inspection Kit is a portable, all-in-one solution for professionals who need reliable vehicle data on the spot. Built around the Abrites VIN Reader, it verifies a vehicle’s true identity and mileage in minutes — no laptop, no workshop, no guesswork.
Connect the handheld VIN Reader to the vehicle’s OBD port, and the VIN Reader app extracts the VIN from every electronic module that stores it, instantly flagging any discrepancies — a key indicator of VIN cloning or vehicle identity fraud. At the same time, it automatically cross-checks two stolen vehicle databases and returns results on the spot, making it invaluable for traffic stops, border checks, theft investigations, and recovery operations.
The kit also includes the PROTAG key and transponder reader, which works with the Key Inspector app to reveal everything stored inside the vehicle’s key in seconds.
Built for law enforcement, theft and accident investigators, insurance professionals, dealerships, and anyone who needs to know a vehicle’s real history before making a decision.
What You Can Do with the Kit
VIN Verification — See the VIN from every module in the vehicle that stores it, side by side. Any mismatch is flagged immediately — a telltale sign of swapped modules, cloned identity, or tampering.
Stolen Vehicle Check — The VIN Reader app automatically cross-checks two stolen vehicle databases and displays the results instantly, right at the vehicle.
Odometer Verification — The app displays the mileage recorded in each module that stores it and compares the values, alerting you to mismatches that may indicate odometer rollback.
Complete Key Data — Using the PROTAG and the Key Inspector app, read everything stored in the vehicle’s key: transponder frequency, key type, key blade ID, and the vehicle’s VIN — and depending on the vehicle, the factory color, last trip data, current mileage, fuel level, and more.
Quick Diagnostics — The included MODI Mobile Diagnostics app lets you run a general vehicle scan and read or clear trouble codes using the same VIN Reader hardware.
