My ABRP freezes when I select “connect OBD.”

Bug Reports

How do I get past this problem?

It is this unit: OBDLinkCX which is working fine and does connect to the OBD app just fine. I have tried a few things, like deleting the OBD app. Then trying to only connect the OBD to the ABRP app. No luck. I have restarted my iPhone 16. I have cycled to Subaru Solterra on and off and on again. No luck.

Perhaps the units are not compatible. I have the latest software on the OBD app and on the ABRP app. I want to love ABRP, and even have subscribed to the premium level.

If I can’t connect to the ABRP app, I plan to return the OBD and give up. It should not be this difficult.

Where does this happen?

    Sorry, no screen shot, but when I attempt to link to OBD, the next screen is the one with spinning icon at the top of a mostly empty page (with no listing of any OBDs). From there (waiting for 10 minutes at one point) I cannot proceed either forward or backwards. My only action is to swipe the app off and try again.
    Hope this is adequate description

    Hi @Mark Buchhop ,

    Can you send us a photo or screenshot of where it freezes? Does it show you a list of OBD devices or it freezes before that?
