good day, the light on my new veepeak OBD2 BLE dongle is red, supposed to be blue ? I've managed to delete my failed attempts from my phone. on my android phone I have Bluetooth On & capable of Tethering. Do I need Android Auto ? I have it and it's set to Wireless Android Auto automatic.am I close ? Thanks

 

You don't need tethering and you don't need android auto. You don't use wireless android auto (whatever that is). It is just a bluetooth connection. Make sure your car is accessory mode with the dongle plugged in. You should then be able to discover the bluetooth device with Bimmerlink.

 

accessory mode ?

 

I have always done accessory key position, with all my odb computers..... I have used it like that for things link the sister app bimmercode.

 

you mean swich on ? just 1 click on switch, no motor running, right ?

 

Yep.

 

so far I've cleaned all the garbage off my phone.Android Auto/disabled, tethering off, I hope the phone is good now. ANY settings on car I should know other than Bluetooth ?

 

Does Android have "Airplane Mode" like an iPhone?
Turn it on.
Stops Wifi and Cellular from interfering.

I ALWAYS turn on Airplane mode when coding.

Also, battery should be fully charged, otherwise, use a trickle charger while coding.

 

This is crucial! Airplane mode keeps any other interruptions like a phone call etc. from disrupting your phone during coding. An interruption during the coding process could "brick" your cars ECM.
