Subaru Trailseeker, Lord have mercy
I’m a new user with Subaru Trailseeker. I’ve read that ABRP is the only option for trip planning for this car, paid for CarPlay access, purchased VLinker MC+ OBD dongle. No matter what I do it doesn’t work right, no live data, it can’t find my VLinker dongle unless I select Subaru Solterra! And then it is 4% off, showing SOC 70% when car shows 66%. I googled and it has suggested to edit PID, I tried a different formula for the command (bunch of formulas) , but it does nothing! I saw correct updated number a couple of times after I submit it, but then it jumps to 70% again. I’ve wasted 4 hours trying to make it all work, never been so frustrated, paid $5 for program that doesn’t work and $50 for VLinker which is a dead weight now. I mean if you are doing it as a favor to all - I get it, but for a commercial product it is not acceptable. Trying to drive without OBD with ABRP is just a nightmare, I enter SOC manually, then middle of the drive after a stop it resets back to original full battery and tells me I don’t need to charge and recalculates it totally incorrectly, while GPS (another nightmare) puts me on a wrong street on top of everything!
- Where does this happen?
- ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

Hi
OBD is not supported for your car. You can see the live data options if you click at Connect live data. This is visible without a Premium subscription.

Any chance you may know when it may be supported? Also, why updating
22F45Bformula doesn’t work if I choose Subaru Solterra or Toyota bz4x (sister cars)? I’ve tried(A * 101.4 / 255) + 4.5and also tried bunch of other formulas, but it didn’t do anything - SOC number stays the same. Thank youLinda ABRP

We need the correct pids for the car. I have added some more information in this post https://abrp.featurebase.app/p/subaru-trailseeker-obd-integration

Hello Linda
I tested the Advanced OBD configuration with PID 22F45B using Solterra profile. The active OBD connection reports 77% while the vehicle displays 74%. I changed the SOC equation substantially, including a test adjustment large enough that the displayed SOC should have changed by well over 10 percentage points. I submitted the configuration, disconnected OBD, force-closed ABRP, restarted it and reconnected. Live Data continued to report exactly 77%.
Therefore the custom equation does not appear to be applied to the active OBDble/Solterra telemetry session. Can you explain how the Advanced OBD configuration is supposed to be activated, or confirm whether this feature currently works on iOS?
Linked to SoC resets when you add a new stop
