OBD/BLE support for Audi A6 Avant e-tron

Hello ABRP Support Team,

I am contacting you regarding OBD/BLE live data support for my vehicle in A Better Routeplanner.

I currently drive an Audi A6 Avant e-tron (2024 100kWh 428ch Quattro) and I am trying to connect it to ABRP using a Vgate vLinker MC+ BLE / Bluetooth OBD dongle on Android. I previously used the same vLinker MC+ dongle successfully with my former Audi e-tron, and ABRP was able to retrieve live data such as battery state of charge and remaining range reliably through OBD/BLE.

With the Audi A6 Avant e-tron, however, I cannot get the OBD/BLE connection to work.

Here is what I have observed:

When I select an older Audi e-tron model in ABRP, the usual simple OBD/BLE connection menu appears, and I can attempt to connect to the vLinker dongle.

When I select the Audi A6 Avant e-tron, the simple OBD/BLE connection flow does not appear. Instead, I only see advanced PID / OBD settings.

This makes me think that the Audi A6 Avant e-tron may currently not have a complete or verified OBD/BLE profile in ABRP.

I was initially using the beta version of ABRP, but I have left the beta program, uninstalled the beta app, and reinstalled the stable version from Google Play. The behavior is the same in the stable version.

I also ran a PID test from the advanced OBD settings. The BLE connection to the vLinker appears to start correctly, but the PID/data command test fails.

The relevant log is:

connecting to E1:FF:F1:6F:C6:92

{"name":"Error","message":"not connected to any ble device","stack":"Error: not connected to any ble device ..."}

Could you please confirm whether OBD/BLE live data is currently supported for the Audi A6 Avant e-tron in ABRP?

If it is supported, could you let me know the correct setup procedure and recommended settings, especially:

whether protocol 6, protocol 7, or generic/auto should be used;

whether the Vgate vLinker MC+ is expected to work with this vehicle;

whether I should select a specific BLE device name such as vLinker MC-iOS / IOS-Vlink;

whether there are known working PID settings for this vehicle.

If it is not yet supported, could you tell me whether support is planned, or whether there are any community-provided or experimental PID profiles available for the Audi A6 Avant e-tron / PPE platform?

I would be happy to provide additional logs, screenshots, or run further tests if that helps.

Best regards,

PL
