Jojo Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Good morning I deleted yesterday the connection between ABRP and my iCar Pro Dongle and connected it to OBD Auto Doctor App. Firstly I had to choose Android-Vlink from the list of Bluetooth devices and secondly I had to enter a code to connect (0000, 1234). When connecting to ABRP, I could only choose IOS-Vlink without any Code. Is that the difference between normal Bluetooth broadcast (Android-Vlink) and BLE (IOS-Vlink)? Anyways, also trying to wake up the Dongle with OBD Auto Doctor doesn't work. So to me, the iCar Pro Dongle is cumbersome and not recommended.

Jroelie Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I could use some help. I got my Enyaq IV80 yesterday and have an OBD MX+ dongle. The dongel connects via they're own app so thats nice, but when I search for my car in the ABRP app it doesn't show up. Does someone have a suggestion what I can do? Perhaps a 3-party app to use so ABRP vinds the dongle or maybe a setting I have to change in the OBDlink app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hosinus Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Have you establisged a Bluetooth connection between your phone and the dongle? Android or iOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jroelie Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Yes, Bluetooth connection is working wel with the OBDlink app. I have Android 11 on my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel-ABRP Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 OBDLink mx+ is not a BLE dongle as far as i remember... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jroelie Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I'm returning the MX+ and just ordered the vLinker MC+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jroelie Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 A little update from my side, I got the vLinker MC+ yesterday. Installation is realy easy, connection with ABRP works well. When I enter the car the dongle is in sleepmodus, when I start the ABRP app it wakes up and make a connection. I haven't yet tested it with any longer drive, but it looks fine to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Hello I also got my MC+. After pressing the button on the Dongle I could select it (name ....iOS.....) and the connection was established, working fine, also showing green bars besides SOC in Android Auto. If I reenter the vehicle, the Dongle is dark, but wakes up after Android Auto is launched and/or ABRP App is activated. LEDs on the Dongle started blinking. But I do not get any data. No green bars, no SOC. The Dongle is also only appearing in the OBD device list again, if I press the button. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks Edited January 13, 2022 by Jojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reuten Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Sounds better than the vGate. I have ordered the MX+ because it is important that it wakes up when entering the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hosinus Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) I am not sure whether it "wakes up". It rather seems to me it never sleeps. I can connect to it even when the car is completely empty and locked. Edited January 13, 2022 by Hosinus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BavariaR Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I bought OBDLink CX Dongle which you recommend but still have issues. I got a Skoda Enyaq iv80 which should be supported. Procedure: No other connections to the dongle - but the dongle was found on the scan of my Android Samsung S9 phone, Android 10 Version, ABRP Version 4.1.13 Pro Version Then plugged in the OBD Dongle BLE compatible, started the car. OBD-Dongle is ready for connection. Green Power light and Blue one blinking NO OTHER APPS connected to the Dongle. Opened ABRP. Car->Settings->OBD-Connection. OBD Dongle was found. Pressed the Dongle Named there. First two (of three) Connection Points went to green or passed. But, as soon as it reaches the 3rd Point (last), it fails to access car data and provides me the option to send fault report, which I did twice today 13.01.2022 16:50 GMT+1. Actually I am clueless on what I can try else. Seems that the dongle is not the problem as it got found and connected to but reading out data between ABRP APP and Dongle fails. Any hint on how I can get this to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Did you press the brake pedal to activate the car when connecting the Dongle to ABRP? It needs car communication input during the checking routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BavariaR Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Yes I even engaged Drive to be sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) I think all these BLE Dongles are BS. Please let us use normal BT one's. Only because Apple is not compatible with normal Bluetooth, all Android users needs to suffer now. https://abrp.upvoty.com/b/request-a-feature/please-enable-regular-bluetooth-obdii-readers/ Thanks Edited January 13, 2022 by Jojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any hint on how I can get this to work? I can see your report and it seems your car does not like one of the commands we use. We recently adjusted the PID commands to get more data like vehicle speed and battery temp and so on. So those that already have a connection are not affected, but those that try to set it up will see the error you mentioned. We could confirm though, that the commands work on other MEB based vehicles though, so not really sure what is wrong here. Could any of the Enyaq user here that have a succesful connection please do the following so we can debug this: 1. establish a connection to the car via OBD with abrp 2. go to settings, scroll down to support & feedback 3. click contact support and in the next popup click YES (you want to upload feedback data so we can analyze) and open with your favorite mail client, it will prefill the mail with data from the app 4. remove the mail adress and enter samuel@iternio.com, then i'll get it faster and can have a look if that is an issue on every Enyaq or just some 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not true, You can always use one of the other app solutions with non BLE BT support, there are some out there that support the Enyaq. They all work equally as good.

Jojo Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) @Samuel-ABRP I sent you data. BTW.: I did not get any connection the second time after initial connection. The Dongle (MC+) gets activated after reentering the vehicle, LEDs flashes blue and red, but ABRP did not get any connection or data. I have to delete connection and reconnect it with pressing the button for pairing again. Edited January 14, 2022 by Jojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel-ABRP Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 vLinker MC+ seems to change its address when replugging, we also documented it here: https://iternio.com/index.php/iternio-telemetry-api/abrp-obd-connection-for-live-vehicle-data/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Yes, I saw that. But I'm not talking about replugging in the first place, but only wake-up after sleep when reentering the car. If the Dongle is changing its address even after wake-up without unplugging it, it's useless to have an automatic wake up feature. Fact is, after wake-up, without unplugging, ABRP does not get any data, despite ABRP/AA do wake up the Dongle after standby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel-ABRP Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Got your mail, thanks, but could not see any data logged. Did you wait until the app showed telemetry data is available? Also please make sure to click yes when it asks to send feedback. Also you need an internet connection, else the call to our backend might fail.

Jroelie Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 @Samuel-ABRP I will try to send you data from an working connection with Vlinker MC+ whitin 15 minutes from my Enyaq. Hope that will help to solve this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Yes, it was initially connected, green bars in AA and current SOC was shown. I pressed yes. So should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel-ABRP Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Maybe something went wrong with the transmission then... I will look again this evening, so if you find the time please try again later on. Thanks also to you @Jroelie the more data we get the easier it is to compare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel-ABRP Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Ok got some data now and the property was definitely available. So @BavariaR could you please try again? On the ID3 i tested it failed at first as well, had to try a bit and go into drive mode and stuff like that. Please check if that helps. We will try to be less strict for some properties in the future but that requires an app update and will not be available immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
