Best OBDII?

Blackbandt

Mikescotland Thanks for the detailed explanation. And yes, that definitely helps me. I actually know the app and would have been my first option. Only with the obd dongle I didn't know which one works perfectly

Blackbandt I'm looking for this for a VW T5.2

I have a T6 and stopped using Torque Pro as even with added custom PIDs (what a hassle) it's way inferior to what Carscanner (https://www.carscanner.info/) shows out of the box. I can even see clutch temps 😉 .
I'd recommend choosing a proper OBD dongle, eg vGate vLinker MC. Reads faster and more protocols than the cheaper ones. Doesn't drain the battery.

gismo All right, thank you. And look at it

Marchnz how do I connect the obd link to my dudu7? The Dudu tells me to enter a password on the phone but there isn’t any phone

hi all, i have already buy a vlinker mc+ ble bluetooth for teyes lux one with dudu os (UIS7862). First connection everything ok all meter works, I left the car and then locked it. I got back in and the ODB module no longer connected. I tried deleting the pairing and redoing it, but it still didn't connect. The only way to get the connection to work is to delete the Bluetooth Mac, deselect the interface type, restart the device, and try pairing again. After doing this, everything worked, but when I turned it back on, the meters and the connection didn't work.

Lock the car. The next time you drive, the OBD cannot be connected. Please try unplugging and plugging in the OBD hardware. If it can be connected after unplugging, the problem is that the OBD hardware went into sleep mode after you locked the car, but it did not end after you unlocked it again.

Lt_Winters33 Check if your vLinker is also paired to BT2 (Settings/Android Settings/Bluetooth). If it is also paired to BT2 that connection takes preference over the BLE one that DuduOS uses internally and that could lead to your results.

NB I encountered this with my vLinker MC+ when it go newly supported by DuduOS, before I had used it in BT2 (classic Android) with third party apps. In fact this is how I use it again because parallel use of classic BT and BLE is not supported by the dongle (only one at a time) and my third party apps (for DPF, clutch temperatures, etc.) don't find the dongle, if it's paired to DuduOS internally via BLE. In classic BT they find it and work ok. I'm fine with that because ordinary stuff such as coolant temps comes via the Canbus adapter also.

DUDU-Meng hi mate, I have update on firmware. This morning I have lock the car( basically I never lock car) but I try do what you say. I have already installed last release just for information.
Edit I have already try to plug and unplug odb adapter and try to reconnect but I see Mac address and no connection

Lt_Winters33

Connect Carscanner or Torque etc and it'll work ok. OBD apps make the connection once it's paired. DuduOS internal functionality cannot access OBD on BT2 though.

gismo ho connesso carscanner in modalità ble e il software terze parti funziona, ma impostato su Dudu os obd intercomunicazione interna le misure sulla barra di stato non arrivano

Lt_Winters33 can you pair the vLinker to your smartphone? If yes, go to the vGate website and download the firmware tool for vLinker, check/update its firmware, try again. Mine is on current firmware and works both as BLE or in BT2 standard Android (either or, not simultaneously of course).

Lt_Winters33

La prima cosa che ho fatto appena ho preso l'adattatore odb è stato scaricare il programma di vlinker e aggiornare il firmware all'ultima versione. Quindi per rispondere alla tua domanda si sullo smartphone android si collega

gismo

Lt_Winters33 so then I'm not clear why yours doesn't connect and mine does. It just works fine.

Lt_Winters33

gismo i try to make a video or I'll send on telegram support group

Lt_Winters33

Lt_Winters33 You cannot have the vLinker connected to 3rd party app and to have info in the status bar. Or you connect it through Dudu OS or in a 3rd party app.

Lt_Winters33 Here is a video on how to connect to the vLinker MC+ in Dudu OS

MihaiFlorin thank you mate, but this is the procedure I use to connect directly from dudu os, but lock the car and after several time start dudu os and won't connect anymore odb module. Only I can do remove Mac add, remove odb model restart duduos and unplug-plug adapter and then able to connect. This for me is an issue

MihaiFlorin

Lt_Winters33 I don't have such issues. Sorry.
