BYD Seal 61kWh RWD 2026 — OBDLink CX: BLE connects but Car Connection fails every time

Car: BYD Seal 61kWh Comfort RWD (European model, kenteken JZX-31-N, VIN LGXCH6CD9R2250932) Adapter: OBDLink CX (Model CX101), firmware updated to latest version via OBDLink app Phone: iPhone, iOS latest, 5G ABRP car profile: BYD SEAL 2023-2023 Standard Range Issue: Step 1 (Loading car configuration) — green check. Step 2 (BLE connection status) — green check, “Connection successfully established.” Step 3 (Car connection status) — red X, “Connection is not established.” Steps I tried, all failed: Car in Ready to Drive mode (not just accessory). Unplugged and replugged adapter multiple times. Force closed all other apps (OBDLink app, Car Scanner). Restarted phone and Bluetooth. Removed and re-paired adapter. Updated OBDLink CX firmware via OBDLink app before attempting. Tried multiple times over several hours. The adapter clearly pairs via BLE to my phone but cannot communicate with the car’s OBD system. Is the BYD Seal (European version) currently supported for OBD live data in ABRP? If not, is there a timeline for adding support? I would be happy to help with testing if needed.

Where does this happen?

    Hi

    When BYD updated the software OBD stopped working. We have added Enode instead as a live data option.
