flozza Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Hi everyone, I have a VW ID4 and an OBDLink MX+. I use the ABRP on an iPhone 12Pro and am unable to link the OBD to ABRP - when I try to do it it just sits there looking for the OBD. EVNotify is rubbish in iOS - doesn’t even have the car and Tronity just gave me the program for free as at this time VW refuse to exchange data with them. Anyone know a workaround to be able to connect my vehicle to ABRP so that I can get real time data? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel-ABRP Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 OBDLink MX+ is not a BLE device and currently not supported. Check the link in the OBD setup to find out more about the OBD connection and recommended dongles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Pickup Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 EVNotify itself is trash, but it's kind of a set-it and forget-it kind of thing. Yes, it doesn't list the ID.4, but setting it to ID.3 works fine. Once you get it set up (admittedly, very difficult as it's not very intuitive), you pretty much never have to do anything more than start up the app. I'm on Android, so maybe there is something even more egregious about EVNotify on iOS, but while I didn't care for the UI, I did find that it did its job of transmitting live data to ABRP quite well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Lindahl Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 According to the OBDLINK home page the OBDLINK® MX+ have the BatterySaver™ Technology low power mode but it doesn't work.

Jak Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Had the same problem but with OBDlink CX . Have it working now by deleting the OBDlink app after registration and started the linking process to ABRP with only that app running. Once it’s linked it also worked over iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott CHRGD VW Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I have a 2021 ID4 ProS, I've been trying to connect the OBDLink CX to my premium ABRP. It goes through the first 2 steps of connecting but won't get the green check for "Car Connection Status". I need help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @spidertje, This device is unfortunately not compatible for the direct OBD connection as it does not support a BLE connection. We do however support the OBDLink CX that is able to use a BLE connection. If you'd still want to use the MX+ and you're an Android user, it might, depending on if your vehicle model is supported, be possible to connect via an app called EVNotify instead.
