If the Vbox is wired directly to the two CAN(Control Area Network) wires that goes into the OBD port and if the Vbox is powered on during the same time the port is trying to communicate with an external test device then yes there can be a conflict. All of the Vbox wiring that I have done and have seen done are wired to a separate set of CAN wires so this statistic is in your favor.

I suggest checking your VEIP receipt in the Overall Result column. If this says "Not ready to be tested" in this column then it should mean that there was communication. Which rules out scenario 1.

PIWIS is an awesome and very capable tool. Probably a little over kill for this task Just in case you happen to be in a time crunch, as others have suggested a generic OBD reader will serve as well for this purpose.

Good luck.
