OBD starting alarm.

Feature Requests

HI.

It’s a problem, that if you drive with an OBD dongle. That it sometimes starts alarm, because ABRP are waking up the OBD dongle.

If you pull out the OBD. The ABRP app automatically switches over to using encode.

Here is what I don’t understand. Why don’t you make a software “seitch” that sinply switches off the app communication with the car thru OBD, when the car is parked. Maby put in that the user can choose for how long the car have to be parked for the OBD communication to switch off. And. The OBD communication can switch in again, as soon as the app can se the car is moving.

It’s a fairly easy think to put in, and it would solve a big problem.

    Theft protection alarm on OBDII

    As mentioned on reddit the car's antitheft protection alarm goes off when the OBD connection is established while the car is still locked. This seems to be a necessary security feature of the car so it can't be stolen; but I was wondering whether there might be a bug or feature to be implemented/fixed within the app to solve this issue.

    The OBD connection triggers car alarm on VW ID.4

    Have successfully used Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ with ABRP version 4.1.11 on Android. However, when using ABRP outside the VW ID.4, after locking the car, it triggers the car alarm. Would it be possible to limit the ABRP use of OBD to only when connected to Android Auto?

    Car alarm and OBD

    After you came with the last update the car alarms goes off a lot more often than before. I know it is because the dongle gets a request from ABRP to give a battery status and that will set off. The alarm. But. It most be possible to either make a manual on/off switch so that ABRP don’t use the dongle when parked, or that ABRP automatically don’t use the dongle when the car is parked.

      Hi

      This happens more because we made the connection better. The only thing you can do is to unlink the OBD when you are parked.

        The cause may be a better or improved connection but your customers experience this as a fault and daily problem with car alarms being triggered

      Same problem here, and at least 6 friends with same problem since recent update. After locking and leaving car, the alarm is triggered by OBD + ABRP.
