OBD CX drops off and cannot reconnect
2022 Mini SE. OBD CX will drop off and fail to connect after some troubleshooting. Pixel 9a Android 16. The OBD will appear, but fail to connect after some time driving (1 hr or so)
Tried phone reboot and ABRP app reinstall. No avail.
- Where does this happen?
- ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

Hi
We get data from your OBD now. Is everything working as it should now?

Troubleshooting is still in progress. I'm having difficulty isolating the fault to the phone (Pixel 9a Android 16), vehicle (Mini Cooper SE), OBDlinkCX, or communication through ABRP.
For our other vehicle, ABRP has been flawless using Android Auto and Veepeak interface for live data.
Anyway, I just now updated the OBDlink CX firmware to 5.10.1 after much troubleshooting pulling the firmware update. So further testing is required to determine if the OBD connection drop-off still occurs at approximately 60 minutes into a drive.

Post firmware update on the OBDlink CX:
Unfortunately, the OBD dropped out today 10/3/25 after working well for some time the previous night. Once the initial drop off occurs, it will cycle continuously in an attempt to re-establish communication. I deleted the live data link in ABRP, but any following attempt to reconnect the OBD fails

Additional info to above:
ABRP 6.1.4
OBD Link CX
Initially using Android Auto when it dropped off, but any attempt to reconnect fails after the drop off.
After reinstalling ABRP, it will continuously cycle trying to reconnect, but receives no information from the OBD on vehicle data. This was also after rebooting the phone.
