FAQ

Does the MINI scan tool connect to my boat engine over Wi-Fi?

No. In this setup, Wi-Fi only gets the handheld online so you can register it and download the software. The tool connects to the engine by cable through the engine's diagnostic port.

Where do I find the diagnostics on my MINI scan tool after I install the software?

After installation, a new module called "Marine Diag" shows up on the main screen. That is the module you open to connect to your engine, read codes, view live data and clear faults.

Can I add a second engine brand to my MINI scan tool?

No. Each MINI is an OBDSTAR iScan 5-inch Android handheld built for one engine brand, and the Mercury MINI product page states other brands of marine software cannot be added. If you work on more than one brand, you need a MINI for each brand, and shops are usually better served by one of MDT's Pro kits.

Does the Mercury MINI scan tool come with cables?

You can buy it either way. Without cables it is $599.99 (Basic Warranty) or $899.99 (3-Year Warranty), and with the 2-pin, 4-pin and battery cables it is $651.98 or $951.98.
