    Hi @Lincoln Mackay,

    Multiple users have reported issues with this specific dongle, which is why we’re not recommending it.

    Before purchasing a dongle please read our documentation, we cover this in; Choosing an OBD device

      Hi Katya, thanks for looking into this error. I’d suggest that since multiple users are reporting this issue then ABRP should get a device in for testing and resolve the issues - it’s clearly something your users want. It will probably drive some revenue as commodity devices like this are sold at high volume.

      These devices work fine with other mobile apps, displaying a wealth of information from the vehicle. I’m sure with a little effort your developers should easily be able to resolve the issue with ABRP, many other apps have done so.

    Want to subscribe to ABRP premium, working ODB data is the feature I need for a road trip in December

    ABRP message is Connection not established. Dongle works and displays vehicle data with Car Scanner app on same iPhone
