Whenever OBD BLE dongle mac address changes (this happens with my dongle every time I unplug/replug it) I need to reconfigure the ABRP OBD connection. The name of the device does not change - it is always the same. Name of my device is vLinker MC-IOS. Can you make it possible to always connect to same device name even if mac address changes? That way it would connect automatically every time. Now I always have to reconfigure it. I attach two screenshots with the different mac address in OBD scanning.

Where does this happen?
-
ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)
