OBDII Bluetooth reader won't connect to 2 DIN Android Car Stereo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Long story short, it has something to do with the fact that this deck has an "external" bluetooth module. It's somewhere in the deck, but it's "external" as far as the system is concerned. There's a comment by "Ronald San Pedro" that suggested that using an ELM327 reader should work, but I HAVE an ELM327-based reader that connects 100% to my phone, but refuses to work with the deck.
Long story short: Can't use anything other than the manufacturer-provided bluetooth OBD2 reader, even if you have an ELM327-based one. I can't even confirm that because I haven't tested that.

To anyone having trouble connecting an ODB bluetooth reader there seems to be a weird quirk that is easily fixed. It's worth trying setting the Bluetooth PIN on the HEAD unit to be the same as the pin that the ODB reader is configured for. I see no reason why this should help.. the head is connecting to the reader and not the other way around but it seems to work for many people.
This does not work. It'the first thing I ever tried. Sorry, but no.
Keith Hunniford this worked for me!
Keith Hunniford thank you!!!
That just worked for me and my joying unit! Thanks!
Just worked for me on a Pumpkin unit with an OBDKey. Cheers!
Is that an Eonon deck? I am having the same issue.
i can't pairing ELM 27 -OBD2 to my head unit (android 4.2.2). the
messaging is "waiting for supported uuid..". How to connect/pair it?
I'm having the same issue. Did you resolve?
Head unit uses BT 2.1 which may not be compatible with the devices mentioned. Check the OBDII device specifications and if it needs BT 3 or 4 it will not work.
Having the same problem using idiagnostic elm327. What brand did you go with?
Is that stereo the pumpkin 6.2 universal with 4.4 kit kat?
I've tried two Bluetooth connectors with no luck. I've ordered a Wi-Fi/USB combo obd2 connector hoping that will work.
+Chris Thomas did it worked ?
I was having the same issue. My android head unit reported connection but Torque reported no device. I found the ODB settings within the toque app Torque & selected the correct Bluetooth device (by Mac address) & presto, all working. The key is to identify the Mac address of the other devices you may have connected via blue tooth (phones etc) and choose the one you don't recognise.
Hi I have the same problem. I find the way to do the pairing. I pass 2 days the find the solution.
I will try to explain to you
1 step put the good pass 1234 like you do on the setting page
2 wend you are at 3:40 remove your odb device like you, make a search and add it FROM this place you have the add button on the right . I hope, I have help
Guys, that's is not a problem, the thing is that your radio need to have the same configuration as the obd2, supposed you have set your radio with 1234 to allow user to connect in. If the obd2 use 000 as pin, the won't be connected, so each other communicate without asking for a pin, so use 0000 or 1234 your your radio, since they are the universal default pin for every device.
Did you even watch the goddamn video? He already changed his HU bluetooth pin code to match with the OBD2 default pin which is 1234, but still doesn’t work.
Already tried that, also in the video, still does not work.
Is it a good idea to leave the ELM327 plugged into the car all the time or will it drain the battery? I'd LIKE to do that for constant metrics but seems like its a bad idea. Can anyone confirm?
I have mine 24/7/365 plugged without any problem.
Also looks like GPS Tracker and scare bad guys....
those who find problem in connecting to ecu after pairing can try to put fastboot of their head units to off. it will take time to start but it will surely connect evertime without fail. hopefully this will help. all the best
happy driving
i have a same problem for nearly a year now i tried everything to sort out the BT issue i found out that only problem with android stereo is it wont have an option for turn on and off Bluetooth like a mobile device , when you use any apps using BT , it shows apps try to turn on BT while BT already on ...
Also, I know my Bluetooth OBDII will only connect within the first 60 seconds or so after the car starts. Maybe that'll help
have same issue; any solution yet?
i had samekind of problem. It showed that the obd was connected but didn't work on Torque Pro app. i had to go to setting of Torque Pro and from obd adapter menu. I had to select the obd adapters mac. After that everything started working great.
Hiltune84 that's different. Mine was never able to connect.
thats why i wrote samekind. ☺ anyway i am glad i got it sorted
i only can paired my android with a wifi obd
with bluetooth obd i cant
Alexander Huzar,
Did you ever find a proper solution? Bought a HenHaoRo Unit G711HZA5 and I am having the same problem. I see you set the pin to the same and it still did not work, is a new adapter what we need?
Thanks,
I'm sorry, but my solution was to sell the car and get an Audi S3 and get a cell phone holder -a.co/860VyfB
I hadad the same problem same symptoms my solution was to go to the home screen from the home screen at the bottom I clicked the BT icon in the BT app on the bottom right was a setting icon click on that a menu list appears in this list is a POWER option I turned power to the off position and then went back to the BT device screen and my OBDII scanner now showed as paired.
Can u tell wich have you buy?
I have the same issue dude, this is really annoying me. Anyone got a fix?
i have the same problem. after reading in xda developers this is the solution i found. using a usb elm327 will solve the problem. this problem occurs because the android radio uses an external type bluetooth receiver. unlike our cellphone that uses an internal type. so there are some compatibility issues.
I bought an ELM327 reader. Still no joy. It connects to all cellphones no problem - iPhones, my Galaxy S7, etc., just no ELM327 readers, and I've tried at least 3 different ones. (All the OBD2 readers connect with Bluetooth to my phone 100% without any issues.)
Man, i have exactly the same issue ! it's make me crazy for monthes !!!!
In my case, the radio does not even see the OBD II adapter ...
Same very frustrating
how to fix it
Hello Alexander. I have exactly the same problem. Could you solve it?
I'm sorry, but I have up on this a long time ago. These made-in-China piece of s*** units are too much for me. I spent way too many hours trying to diagnose. I suspect that the only unit that will work is the one that they will sell to you. It worked for me once a few years ago for like 30 seconds, but I think the fact that it worked was a glitch because it never worked ever again. I sold my RS-X and currently drive an S3 and have a cell phone holder that does not move around: a.co/860VyfB - get the holder instead of the magnet one because metal plate you'll need will interfere with wireless charging - all that current will heat up the plate instead of charging your phone (danger!).
Alexander Huzar Ok, thank you for your answer. I also drive an Audi S3 !!! and I wanted to use the TorquePro in the OBD2 port.
Thanks and I will continue looking for the error.
Regards
Go to settings , find factory settings click fill the password , mostly its 126 but it can be a different one for your unit. On section app look for BT and choose a diferent type of module . It worked for me .Success :))
It works ! Thx !
Alexander, could you please tell me what is the ELM327 OBD2 reader that solved your problem? I have the exact same situation with a Lollipop 5.1.1 headunit from Autopumpkin. Best regards.
I never got this working. Nothing that anyone ever suggested has worked. My advice is to get an OBD2 reader from that Pumpkin seller on the condition that you can get a full refund if it does not work as advertized.
Thank you very much for replying. There is an other video where it connects in a snap, but doesn't show the dongle. Regards
It's because the stereo is set up as a client device. Not a host device, ie not a phone or tablet, as far as bluetooth is concerned.
Exactly the same pairing issue here between Android Card Head Unit (Chinese product) and Garmin HUD. Garmin HUD appears in Available Devices list but won't be paired when I tapping it from the list to connect with the unit.
I use LG Optimus VU II for my personal cell phone. The HUD pairs with the phone and the phone pairs with the unit successfully, but the HUD and the head unit does not. This makes me crazy. I mean, literally :( If there is anyone who can help me on this, PLEASE!
Did you try changing BT modes in factory settings? If you first type hctbtup to access Factory Settings menu, you will see pop-up that shows BT mode your device is trying to us. Else, try some of the MTC xposed modules that modify BT settings.
+mrniceguy1437 I already tried those alternative ways. Doesn't work at all :(
I contacted Garmin's engineer for assistance, but he could not solve the issue either so I got refund.
just download Bluetooth pair App from Google play on your stereo and use that to pair your OBD2 and stereo it worked for mine just remember to change you cars Bluetooth pin to be the same as the OBD2 PIN 0000 or 1234
just freezes when i try to turn on bluetooth with the pair app
This worked for me. Many thanks!!
@@Skateboss3 what the app?
thanks for this info. it works for me
I'm having the same issue with my Bluetooth GPS qstarz 818 xt 10k gps.
Same damn problem but with my GoPoint BT1A
Daniel Gregory Fixed by using an ELM327 OBD2 reader.
damm same problem what is the solution ?
Sorry bud, I sold my car as I was tired of a "project car" and all the made in China problems. Buy German - lasts forever and has zero issues. I now have an Audi S3 with a cell phone holder that does not move around. Why upgrade the deck when you can upgrade the phone? You can take the phone with you when you exit the car to prevent theft. Everything that's made in China is so rushed and so cheap and flimsy and low power and unreliable and not upgradeable. I'm not going to solder, go into factory settings, buy a compatible unit or visit XDA forums to find a solution for something. I got so fed up of wasting so many damn hours of my life that when converted into a minimum wage it would have paid for the unit many times over. Enough is enough. If it's not made by Samsung or LG or Sony or Philips then it's junk and don't waste your money on it. You're better off building a custom computer using an Arduino controller or other similar dedicated android in a small box thingy. It's cheaper to build once you factor in cost of shipping and way more reliable and upgradable.
Having the exact same issue with my "Pumpkin Quad Core 7 inch 2 Din Android 5.1 Lollipop" and ELM327 ODB2 Bluetooth adapter (blue and orange one with 6789 pin)
Same
Just put the bluetooth and vlink or obd device to be same pin
Same issue. No idea how to fix it.
rkiak969 Fixed by using an ELM327 OBD2 reader.
+Alexander Huzar I bought ELM327 it still don't work. It detect the OBDII as phone instead of OBDII device :(
hi sorry for not Uploading video will upload soon but as a solution pls don't try to connect to Bluetooth via car interface. Download a paid app called Bluetooth Auto pair available on playstore allow you to configure device manually. it will surely work for people facing this problem.
In my case the Obdlink MX adapter couldn't paired to the car-kit (Xtrons unit). I just changed the car-kit' s bluetooth default code from "0000" to "1234" and the adapter paired succesfully and now I can use Torque Pro!!
Hmm that's interesting...that would explain everything. It's unfortunate that for most OBD2 readers you can't change the default code...
Great fix, I changed my code to the 1234 and it connected.
Worked for me 2
gracias funciono para mi
After purchasing 4 different OBD2 readers, I finally found one that works with the Android car stereo and a 03 Dodge Ram (www.ebay.com/itm/351494706732?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) The one thing I found was that the reader has to be Bluetooth 2.1, the 3.0 ones I bought wouldn't pair with stereo. But two of the 2.1 readers did pair, but wouldn't connect with the Dodge ECU.
Kevin Lagarde yeah that looks like the unit the seller recommended, but it's too bulky and would hit my knees all the time. I gave up trying to make this work. I've read all the comments on here and none helped. I wish Samsung were to make a 2 Din unit like this!
No funcciona con dos dispozitivo a la ves
Ties que desconectar el bluetooh del puto telefono
THIS RADIO SUCKS WHATS THE CODE FOR IT? ANYONE?
Remove the Samsung from the EONON and restart eonon so is ok on my eonon G2110G..PRg is TORQOE PRO
the problem in this video is as follows:
start pairing, when it shows your module, press the magnify glass again. it will stop.
select module
select pair
it pairs, without a code. dont tell me why.
from that moment i have another problem. the module is paired, but all apps think it isnt. my radio is a new android 5.1.1. the seller offers a obd module, so i asked him to sell me that one since the normal elm327 connect and pair, but the apps do not agree. if it wont, this is my last option since it offers a android 5.1 car radio module:

the same problem android 6.0
at 5:46 select V-LINK and look at right side on display, there is two icons - connect device and dissconect device :) that's so simple :D
Change the PIN to 0000 again.
I found a simple fix so my Bluetooth OBD2 reader will connect to my Android Car stereo. I just changed the password code on the Android stereo from 0000 to 1234 and then it all connected with out an issue. The PBD2 reader must be pre-programmed with a reply password of 1234.
how to change the pswd code?
busquen la app bt force pair en playstore , ahi emperejen el obdll , despues cambien la contraseña del head unit por 1234 , borren todas las ventanas abiertas y vuelvan a entrar en la app que quieran emparejar por ejemplo OBD CAR WIZAR y traten de buscar el ELM327 esta vez si les aparecera y dejara usar sin problemas, ami funciono
you need to connect your headunit through a wifi connection. BT wnt work
check for apk to download free on google
try an disconnect the phone and try it again
Try this:
1. root
1) Settings -> Factory Settings
2) Instead of the well-known password 126, enter another password - *#hct#root# - and click OK
3) All - the root is received, as indirectly indicated by the "Superuser" item that appeared in the "Settings"
2. Install Xposed Installer from repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
3. Install XposedMTC from repo.xposed.info/module/com.dr8.xposedmtc
4. In XposedMTC setting change OBD to your V-LINK
I'm having the same issue except with Hondata S300. I just bought the new Pumpkin Android 8.0 head unit and it will connect to everything EXCEPT my Hondata S300. And I have no way around the chip because my car is OBD1 not OBD2, hell my OBD port doesn't even work. So I have no choice but to use Hondata. The radio sees it but when I click on it, nothing happens. This really makes me sad because it was one of the main reasons I bought the radio. :( I made a video of what its doing. Here is the link. ua-cam.com/video/LCXXIX4L2qE/v-deo.html
you can resolve this issue ???
