I did find the correct link for “Car Scanner” on Reddit. And I was able to integrate it with my OBD reader. However, I question this move. Why force us to use a third party app when ABRP used to connect directly? I know how to look these things up, but I can see where someone who is not tech savvy would be extremely frustrated by this process. My non-tech spouse said she would just give up on the app if she was faced with this. Also the integration of the two apps gives inaccurate percentage readings on ABRB, whereas previously they always matched what the car said. The least the company can do is to put the correct link in when directed to download “Car Scanner”. As previously stated, currently clicking on that link leads to a “Not found in the Apple Play store” or wording to that effect. I am currently re-evaluating my own use of the ABPR app given the new protocols.

I can no longer connect to my OBD reader. I’ve never had a problem before. When I try to connect, I get two options, “Car Scanner” and “Custom Connection”. Car Scanner is not available on the Apple App store. I have confirmed that the OBD reader can connect via Bluetooth. The OBD reader used to show up under connections, but now, nothing. I also don’t understand why the connection was dropped in the first place.

Hi
It seems like the OBD is not supported by your car. The link to Carscanner is not working in the app right now but you will find it here https://apps.apple.com/us/app/car-scanner-elm-obd2/id1259933623
