OBD support for MG IM5

I have an MG IM5 and I cannot connect it to live data, if I select the MG5 I can connect. What can I do?

What type of vehicle connection is this?

    Hi,

    We need the OBD PID commands and how to interpret the returned data. Since this is not easily available for most vehicles there is not possibility for us to provide a time estimate.

    You can check our telemetry API for relevant properties:
    documenter.getpostman.com/view/7396339/SWTK5a8w

    Also, you can check our (partially outdated) OBD repository to see what other cars report:
    https://www.github.com/iternio/ev-obd-pids

    If you find that an existing vehicle profile reads data correctly, please let us know, but please DO NOT keep using the incorrect vehicle model with live data.

      Could be that the PIDs we use for an already supported vehicle model could work. Here’s what you can do once you have access to the vehicle and a dongle;

      1. Select the actual model of your car, save it

      2. In vehicle settings, change the model of the saved vehicle to one that you suspect has compatible OBD commands (just any model will not work, it needs to be compatible)

      3. Link the vehicle via OBD (details here; OBD Connection )

      4. Select the correct vehicle model again

      5. After verifying that the data is read correctly (or even partially correctly) notify us that the OBD commands for vehicle model X also works for vehicle model Y.

        Just done as above and I used the MG Cyberster and it returns the correct SOC.

        Yes SOC charge shows correctly using the MG Cyberster vehicle profile.

    Hi @Gary Hancock,

        Please clarify which live data type you’re requesting support for. (Such as OBD, Enode, etc.)

          Sorry for not being very clear. It’s OBD use a Vgate iCar Pro 2S Bluetooth OBD2. It’s works on the MG5 but not on the MG IM5.

            Got it. I’ve updated the request accordingly and added the standard information for this type of request.

            Please note that live data should not be used continuously with the incorrect model selected. You’ll need to change to the correct model.

            Could you clarify if the data provided during your tests is accurate or if there are any values that are incorrect or simply not provided?

              It seems correct I compared it to the MG app and it matched.
