I have tried using Dash Command and OBD Auto Doctor,And it is seeing the Bluetooth OBD2,But is not connecting to the truck.
Any suggestions?

 

Did you first pair the adapter to your Android?

Try the adapter on a different vehicle. You might have a dud.

 

Yes it did pair with LG G2,And I was thinking of that,Room mate has an 07 Subaru Forester and an older Subaru.
Also was going to try with my wife's HTC Desire 610 phone when she gets home too.

 

Okay I used my room mates 07 Subaru Forester and it connected,But still won't connect to my truck.Whats the deal?

 

Check the cigar lighter fuse in the truck.

 

I was going to look at all the fuses tomorrow.Dark and cold here now.

 

Well I checked all the fuses and they were all good,
Didn't check relays.(Should I?)
Could it be the cheap China bluetooth dongle I got?

And if it is bad,Is this a good replacement?:https://plxdevices.com/product_info....=GSSTBLUETOOTH

 

I use an Xseries ELM327 WiFi ($23 on amazon) with my iphone. It connects to my 97 F150 4.6. I have used it with a '14 mustang gt and a couple toyota camrys (02 & 12) as well. The EODB-Facile software app (free+) works with the Xseries device.

 

I don't have an Iphone,Just an Android.So I need a bluetooth device or a wired in device.

 

I USE obd CAR DOCTOR free.

pair the bluetooth device first, use code 1234

then run the ap and let it auto connect..

I would suggest stopping by autozone and have them use their scanner on it...
then you could determine if it's the truck or between the dongle and the ap.

being that it worked on the other setup you tried, i'd lean towards the truck being the culprit.

 

I had the same problem on my 1999 F150 it was the 20 Amp fuse for the cigar lighter/OBD2 fuse under the dash #3 was blown. I'm currently using the BAFX Product OBD2 Bluetooth just because it is built tougher and they clam it will work with all autos sold in the US since 1996. I'm using the Torque app on Android platform. I'm not the sharpest guy in town, I didn't realize there are two separate fuse panels on my truck till I started looking. Hope it helps.

 

Ok,I found out it was the cheap *** Vgate Advanced ELM327 v1.5 Bluetooth Interface OBD2 Car Scanner Adapter.I returned it and bought the PLX Kiwi Bluetooth adapter and it worked.
BTW,They sent me the PLX Kiwi 2 adapter.

 

Ya that's the problem. There is no v1.5 of the ELM327 chip. LOTS and LOTS of cheep knock offs came out under the v1.5 number but really its only a the leaked code from 1.2. The 1.2 code had really crappy ford support.
If you want to get an OBD2 scanner with an ELM327 chip it has to be v1.4B or v2.1.

ELM sells the chip's for $21. So any time you see a scanner going for less then that its most likely a knockoff.
