MG Marvel R and OBD Live data

[SweViver]

Is there any chance you could add OBD Live data support for the electric vehicle MG Marvel R? All the other MG cars seems to have this feature already but not Marvel R. Would highly appreciate it!

Thanks

If you can provide the obd commands used on that car we can definitely add it. Do you know if they are the same on the other MG cars?

Thanks for getting back to me Samuel!

I would gladly help out but Im not sure how to do it. I'll get my ordered Marvel R in the next few weeks and I have also ordered the Vgate vLinker MC+ OBD2 unit. Is there any guide out there how I can extract the commands for you? (Sorry for my lack of knowledge regarding this).

Thanks

First of all you could try if MG5 or MG ZS EV (before 2022 model, as that one uses same commands as MG5) as selected car returns any value. Normally cars of the same manufacturer tend to use the same OBD commands. If that does not work it might make sense to search on the bigger MG forums if anyone already found the OBD commands and ask them to provide them. If this also does not work i guess you have to create an OBD dump and find the right values which could be very time consuming without any knowledge.

I see, thanks for the explanation. Once I get the car (hopefully within a week or two) I will start testing this by using it as MG5 or MG ZS 21 in ABRP for the OBD2 data and I will let you know. If it turns out that the parameters are the same for the cars, and it works as expected, I guess by then you should be able to add the support for Marvel?

I'll let you know as soon as I get going!

We can easily enable it if it works and it will be available without app update.

Hi, I was able to get data in my new Marvel when I chose MG5 Long range 😁

This is pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing. Im still waiting for my (delayed) Marvel R which should arrive next week, but already got the Vgate vLinker MC+ OBDII dongle, so can't wait to try this!

By the way, where is the OBD2 connection on Marvel R? Under the steering wheel I assume?

@Samuel-ABRP Have you been able to add the OBD part for Marvel R based on my previous reply? 😁😇
