Uwe-EV6 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Driving Model: KIA EV6 AWD, Battery 77,4 kWh I bought TWO OBD-BT LE-Dongles which are enlisted as „compatible & works fine“ with ABRP. But NONE works. I got a KIA EV6 - which should be supported. Binding Procedure: I disconnected all other Live-Data connections - especially the evNotify-binding. Then plugged in the OBD Dongle (vgate iCar Pro OBD2 Bluetooth 4.0(BLE) ), started the car. OBD-Dongle is ready for connection. NO OTHER APPS connected to the Dongle. Opened ABRP. Car->Settings->OBD-Connection. OBD Dongle was found. Pressed the Dongle Named there. Problem: First (of three) Connection Points went to green (and acknowledged) But, as soon as the Installation went automatically to the 2nd Point, after about 2 Seconds later the App crashed, and produces a whole blank white Screen. Waiting for 5 Minutes. Nothing changes. Restart of ABRP reopens the „Connect to OBD“-Page. No matter, if trying to install on an Android (Samsung Galaxy Note 10+) or an iOS-System (iPhone 12 pro max or iPad Pro 2021, all Systems with newest Software / with proper Dongle selected working for Android or iOS), the result was always the same. The Dongle works on both systems, which I tried with other apps i tested (proof if Dongle is working). I also tried the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ Bluetooth OBD 2, and the Vgate vLinker MC OBDII Bluetooth OBD2 Am I doing sth. wrong? At least ONE of the Dongles should have worked. Probably a bug (at this time)? Help would be very welcome !! Perhaps you could post an „Step-by-Step Connection procedure“? THX in advance !!! I tried the following Dongles for connection. All of them were recognized bei ABRP. Installation stopped each time at Point 2 of the automatic procedure, with a blank white Screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel-ABRP Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Please don't ask for support in forum. Use the support&feedback functionality from the app. There you can also create bugs. On Android make sure you are on the latest version 4.1.11 which was released today. The earlier version had a problem. If the app screen goes blank it means there is an error, which we need to find. For that please use the bug report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melonhead84 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) FYI, I have the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ and a VW ID.4 Pro, using Android 12 on a Google Pixel 5 and was able to connect without any issues.

Samuel-ABRP Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 https://abrp.upvoty.com/b/report-a-bug/ioniq5-connection-problem/ Looks like the 800V HKMC pid list has an error, we will fix soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel-ABRP Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 @Uwe-EV6 i pushed an updated pid list so it should work now, could you please try again? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe-EV6 Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share Posted December 25, 2021 MANY THANKS for your work, even for Christmas without a break. My highest appreciation for that I'll try again this afternoon. Should I disconnect the EVNotify connection within ABRP before („Disconnect Live Data“), or is this not necessary as long as I do not start EVNotify?

Uwe-EV6 Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share Posted December 25, 2021 PERFECT!!! THX A LOT!!! Your Workaround about the Hyundai Ioniq5 800V PID is successful (works also with the KUA EV6).

Doesn't matter, we always take the latest data, wherever they come from. So if you want to keep EVNotify as Backup you should leave it connected.

Hosinus Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 @Uwe-EV6, so the vLinker MC+ works fine with ABRP? In find this device very interesting because it is has a pairing button, which I find very helpful for security reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe-EV6 Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share Posted December 25, 2021 This device works fine with my configuration! No matter if Android or iOS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel-ABRP Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 So do you also need to click the pairing button to find the device on BLE? That would be the most secure BLE device out of the currently known then... Or is the button only relevant for classic BT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe-EV6 Posted December 25, 2021 Author Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Pairing is necessary with Android and iOS Devices (Dongle connected to car, car switched „on“): 1. Press Pairing Button on Dongle 2. Search for new Device in BT-Settings of Android Smartphone 3. The „VLinker MC+ for Android“ should be found -> Click / tap Pairing 4. Open ABRP -> Car Settings -> Connect to OBD -> Click listed (actual paired) Device Same Dongle with iOS (Dongle connected to car, car switched „on“): 1. Press Pairing Button on Dongle 2. just open ABRP (NOT BT-Settings on Phone!) 3. Goto Car Settings -> Connect to OBD -> Click listed Device „VLinker iOS“ At least this procedures worked for me. As far as I noticed, without pressing the pairing button, only the Device „VLinker MC+“ will be listed in the smartphones BT-device list. The additional Version „…for Android“ or „…for iOS“ is missing. Therefor you‘ll get a „connection failure“, if the Version is not determined. This will only happen after pressing the pairing button (as far as I noticed on my devices) So, THIS OBD Dongle seems to be secure Edited December 25, 2021 by Uwe-EV6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHuber Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 This was indeed a Christmas present. I was able to connect directly using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LDBYTFP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It was what I could find as the preferred OBDLink CX was out of stock. While I have not had occasion to road test it yet, it quickly connected directly to ARBP. Main thing I had to do is to uninstall ABRP and reinstall it in order to obtain the latest version. Thank you very much for your work on this. I sincerely appreciate the upgrade. I now have a much better handle on how far my Bolt will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hosinus Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I have ordered the vLinker MC+ and it works fine with my car (Škoda Enyaq) and two Android phones that I tried it with. It didn't work at the first time (ABRP found it, but threw an error message when trying to connect several times), but after unplugging it for a few seconds and retrying, all went fine. However: On 12/25/2021 at 9:10 PM, Uwe-EV6 said: 2. Search for new Device in BT-Settings of Android Smartphone 3. The „VLinker MC+ for Android“ should be found -> Click / tap Pairing On both Android phones, my device shows up as "vLinker MC-IOS", not as „VLinker MC+ for Android“. I'm not a pro in IT security, but from what I can tell, it seems to be a rather secure option due to its button and encryption. From my point of view this device seems to be the best option, as it is affordable and probably secure to leave plugged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel-ABRP Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 For Android normally means it's classic BT and for iOS normally means it's BLE. So yes, you have to take the iOS one in most cases. It's the same for the Unicarscan OBD Dongle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured out what I did wrong. I did not realize you need to utilize something like EVNotify to pull the data from. All good. I bought the VLinker MC+ and it's working. Thanks.

Samuel-ABRP Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 You don't need Evnotify to link OBD data in app (if you want to use the native OBD support). Just go to car settings ( icon behind car) and then you can link a supported car with ABRP OBD Connection. If it does not show up your car is not supported. In that case you could go to support & feedback in the app, request a feature and then you get redirected to our new request board and ask for support for your car.

Inigo_Montoya Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I see the settings now. I was looking for it on the navigation screen as in the Twitter video. Still learning and working through some things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
