Issues With OBD-II Bluetooth Scanner by colossus2: 1:49pm On Oct 30, 2014
I got a bluetooth scanner from konga.
Plugged it to the diagnostics connector.
Did all bluetooth pairing.
But the funny thing is when you launch the app on Android and PC, it fails to connect with the device

On android, I installed Torque.
It managed to scan just once, later the phone (Galaxy Tab) failed to see the device.
Then I installed the different apps on PC from the installation CD, laptop still can't connect with the ELM.

Nb: ELM pairs with both gadgets.

looks like a garbage in garbage out situation. Try a different car, and a different phone.

Used it on a Lexus initially with a phone, it managed to scan just once after much trial in connecting device.

It didn't work again after that scan. Then I tried it on a Camry, paired device and all, but after that phone could not connect to ECU. It didn't find the device even though it was paired.
Then I tried using laptop, it paired but if you want to scan you can't connect to the device

Did all that bro.
There are four icons at the top left hand corner which are supposed to be static.
I think they are
i) signal icon (bluetooth connection)
ii) device icon (ELM)
iii) phone icon
iv) car icon

The car icon would appear and start blinking when you launch the app, then it disappears.
Then the signal icon and device icon keeps blinking.
It can't find device so it can be connected to ECU.

I've communicated with konga. They contacted me in return and told me that the merchant will reach out to me within 24hrs.
