Issue linking vehicle via OBDLink CX
When trying to connect my iPhone 18 running iOS26.1 to my OBDLink CX dongle, I receive the errors below. Also, in the app it reports a “connection” issue. The icon in front of the SOC usually shows in green sometimes switches briefly to blue or red. The reported SOC value goes up and down while driving, but usually stays within a few percentage points of the I guess last know status. Also, I used the app with the same dongle successfully before, albeit with an iPhone 13 running iOS 18. I tried this again, but it also doesn’t work anymore. I also tested the dongle with OBDLink app and it connected fine and reported vehicle data.

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

Hi
Can you try to unlink the OBD in ABRP and also in the bluetooth settings. Then start the process again with linking. Please let me know if it does not work.
