OBD Link mX_+ does not connect

Well this sucks. I had the OBD connected and was able to view some things once today. I'm trying again later and dang thing just won't connect. Blue tooth from iPhone says its connected but the little indicator connection on the OBD in Forscan Lite is red indicating a broken connection. Therefore pushing Connect does not make it connect. I tried turning the key off a few times. I tried unplugging the device a few times, I tried pushing the blue tooth button a few times. Just not connecting.
I wonder if the problem might be with Forscan Lite? Since the iPhone says it is connected, yet in Forscan it isn't connected. The cable connection in the user interface is broken and turned Red.

Ok, seems as the iPnone has to be powered down and back up for the connection to the ODB will take place. I doesn't have to be powered off and on if the key is only off a short time like turning the engine off and going into a store for a short time or like getting refueled.
