OBD Link MX problems **Solved**

It won't connect with my Android (v5.0) Galaxy Note 3 phone any more. Things I have tried:

1. Re-boot both devices
2. Unpaired and repaired
3. Tried with my Android tablet and it works fine, so it has to be a phone issue.
4. The last change I made was the install and pairing of my Pioneer NEX-4200
5. When tapping any of the other paired devices in my phone's bluetooth menu it goes into "connecting" mode but not the MX, it does nothing.

Any help appreciated!

You sure the Pioneer isn't overriding the MX? You can't pair them both if one is trying to force it's way back in......Especially some phones......

SOLVED, I went into Torque Pro which is the app I was trying to connect thru and my selected bluetooth device was a different OBD adapter, a cheap one I bought for other vehicles. Once I selected the OBDLink MX it connected right away. Guess I'm just a tech dummy.
