Finally: Bluetooth diagnostics/logging for the B4

[newsh]

My dongle arrived and my £35 quid tablet, got the software installed and played with that, not had a chance to try it on the car yet.

I got the pro version yesterday, so far had time to connect to my AAN and my friends AEL . Worked smooth, cleared a few codes , will have more time over the weekend to understand it well.

We have had this PRO unit sent in for us for testing.
Product is developed here in Lithuania, thus our local Audi community got a chance to test it. Worked perfectly.
It is not something you could you could use to change VCDS, but definitely a thing to keep in your car for quick diagnostic purposes.
The only drawback was its shape - for some cars like D3A8 it was not so easy too remove it, it would the whole access hole for obd2 port.

Well my dongle arrived, connected after a bit of jiggery pokery -one hint, do NOT pair it with your phone using the system settings, do it from within the OBDEleven app instead.

It correctly identified 3 fault codes, one, carbon canister connection (deliberate), two related to what looks like a dead lambda, again. Could explain some of the poor MPG I have been getting.

I then tried looking up live values, which I was a bit more apprehensive about, I mean codes are easy, right? live values not so much.... Especially as this is a '91 Audi Coupe Quattro 7A, not exactly the last word in OBD!

Anyways, fired it up, and as expected there wasn't a whole lot to see, however, there was everything a VAG1551 would tell you, so with some work, and a copy of the following PDF, values can be interpreted just as if you were using the proper tool:

See section D2-360 onwards is where the diagnostics get interesting.

There is, as far as I saw in my lunchtime break, only one 'channel' to look at on these ECUs, however those channels will do everything I think I need, all good, and saves me Megasquirting immediately it to give me *real* live data

I've proved it works for me, so anyone else with an older vehicle like mine should find some reassurance of it working for them

Ordered a PRO dongle for the woman's mk6 Golf TDI.

Booted up quick, connected to my phone via Bluetooth quickly, but the diagnostic scan got stuck in a loop. Wouldn't even cancel, it just held in stasis so I quit the app.

Will try again when I'm not so busy but the interface is nice and it's much more handy to use the phone instead of a netbook.

If it doesn't seem to work for me I'll try a Ross-Tech HEX-NET instead.

Make sure that you have a good internet connection on the phone when doing the scan as the fault code database is on the server, not in the app.

Have just ordered the 'normal' version for me, based on a response from a support request I made. Went something like this:

Me:

'Will this work on a '91 7A engined Audi Coupe?
Be great if an enhanced compatibility list was created, as the moment it is not clear for older vehicles which will work'

Them (just 5 minutes later!):
'Hello, theoretically it must work, but we do not have a chance to test it on a real car'

Me:

'OK thanks! Do you think it will work for realtime data? Thanks for coming back so fast!'

Them:
'Yes it must work'

Me:
'Excellent, will go purchase'

Them:
'Great '


So for a first experience, that was very, very good, lets hope the sales speak carries through to capability, will be very pleased to see running figures for my old 7A, will help no end I am sure!

I purchased the non-pro model as it is more likely to be an occasional use thing, and if I earn credits, I can use the real time stuff, from what I read If not, then I will just upgrade for another £20.

Will feedback once it arrives, hopefully soon.

Also ordered one as I think it's a good idea to have it in the car. Does not require a laptop

I just bought the normal version then realised output tests are in the Pro version. Hopefully you can upgrade from the free software.

Yep, you can do an in app upgrade to Pro version.
The upgrade is 25 Euro or so vs 19 euro when you buy the Pro up front.

I got the basic version since the 35 euro for that is right below the toll free import limit into Norway. The Pro would have had tolls and fees kick in and would have cost me 90 Euro.
I might do the in app upgrade to Pro later but for now I'm just gonna rack up a lot of fre credits by just opening the app and click on some ads. Something to do when on the can

I'm gathering the credits (you can get 6 free credits per day) to run the live data with the free version of the app (live data takes 6 credits per use on the free version but is included with the Pro)

I bought this to do the rear brakes on my A6 as you have to release the Electronic parking brake. Wonrked a treat.
Like Newsh I bought the cheap version but realised that you need the Pro version to have control so activated it via the app and paid the extra via google pay. I havent plugged it into the S2 yet though.

[Bowie69]

Yup go latest, or expect to have connectivity troubles and it to run out of space in 18 months...

[Henkjan]

better to go for newer android version, otherwise you might not be able to get updates of the apps soon. btdt

[newsh]

Need to be careful
Some of these don't have Bluetooth, this one has https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252436741325
