Direct car connection- ABRP, ID4 and iOS

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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

Correct, but this is not the same as BLE, therefore it is not currently supported.

Ohoh…. Thought I bought the best, most secure and ultimate obdlink adapter. Still not supporter by ABRP? Only reason I bought this one….. OMG…

Which device did you buy?

The OBDlink MX+.

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.

Live Data integration on the ID. 4 was finally achieved using EVnotify. First, a BLE dongle is required. Pair the dongle to your phone. Some dongles are capable of both IOS and Android communications.  Setup EVnotify so that it integrates to ABRP and that local synchronization is on. Select your car or within the manufacturer family (iD3 for an ID4), and then select the kW based on the maximum battery from the manufacturer (82 kW for ID4 not the 77kW available). Us the consumption rate by charging your car to 80%, then seeing how many miles it estimates it will go. Divide the miles it estimates it will go by 80. To get kW/100km divide 62.137 by your efficiency. So if your cars long term efficiency is 2.71, then divide 62.137 by 2.71 and you will have 22.9 as your kW/100km. This is now your consumption rate. Setup ABRP and turn on automatic settings. Select plan settings box that shows your vehicle, and then select Live Data. Select Link EVNotify, then Done. TURN OFF YOU PHONE TO CLEAR CACHE. Click ON ABRP to start the app and then EVNotify. If the credentials are correct along with the token, then the dashboard will show nearly identical to your ABRP state of charge. (SoC). I've tested this from Sedona Arizona To Phoenix Arizona with about 1.3% accuracy difference from the BMS SoC to SoC of the display. Hope this helps someone.
