ABRP with obd2

Bug Reports

Issue description:

When using the app with an OBD2 adapter, everything works fine for the first 30–60 minutes. After that, the connection to the adapter drops and it’s no longer possible to reconnect.

The adapter appears to be working — it’s plugged in, LED lights are on, and it’s not overheating. Even after unplugging and plugging it back in, the app still won’t connect.

If I force disconnect the adapter from the app and then try to connect again, it fails with the attached error message.

Tested setup:

  • Tested on two different BMW i3 cars

  • Tested with two different phones

  • Tested with two different OBD2 adapters — both are models listed under ABRP Recommended Hardware

The problem occurs under all combinations of the above.

Where does this happen?
ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

    Hi

    To help us figure out what happen we need you to send a bug report. First you need to enable the bug button in the settings. Go to the settings and scroll all the way down.

    The bug button will show on your screen. When the OBD is connected to your car and the car is in drive mode click at the button. Then let me know when you have done this.
