You will also be asked to sign in with an Apple ID or iTunes account. You should create a new one to be used for your shop and do not use your personal iTunes .

Power on the Device

To begin you’ll have to turn on the device. To turn it on, push and hold the power button at the top right corner of the screen. If it does not go on right away hold the button until you see the Apple Logo. When you see the home screen follow the directions at the bottom of the screen and slide to the right to begin.

In the rare case that the iPad is not responding, you can reset the device by using the following process.

Using the Inspection Sheets

4. Congratulations! You are now performing your first inspection using the DVI application. You will have different types of inspection sheets offered to you depending on the part of the vehicle you are working on. Below we can see that the technician was working on the road test for the vehicle. If the technician finds no problems, you simply tap the name of the area you were inspecting and a check mark will appear noting that all is well in that area. If you find something wrong, you will need to look under thew column titled “In Car.” Prior to you selecting anything, it will say “Select Condition.” You can press that to look at the options listed and choose what is wrong with that part of the vehicle. After completing your inspection, you can press submit located at the top right hand corner of the screen.
