To connect the VEEPEAK OBDCheck BLE+ Car Diagnostic Code Reader Scan Tool to your phone or tablet, follow these steps:
1. Install a third-party app on your phone or tablet. Recommended apps for generic use are:
- For iOS: Car Scanner ELM OBD2 (free), OBD Fusion, DashCommand. (Note: Torque Pro on Apple App Store is not compatible!)
- For Android: Torque Lite (or paid Pro version), OBD Fusion, Car Scanner ELM OBD2.
2. Locate the OBD2 port in your vehicle and plug in the VEEPEAK device. Ensure that it fits well and the VEEPEAK device shows up on your phone's Bluetooth device list. If it doesn't, check the cigar fuse or try it on another vehicle.
3. Turn the ignition ON or start the vehicle. For vehicles with Push Button Start, press the button once or twice without putting your foot on the brake pedal (refer to your car manual for specific instructions).
4. Enable Bluetooth on your phone or tablet. If you are using iOS devices, do not connect with "VEEPEAK" in the Bluetooth settings as no regular Bluetooth pairing is needed. Proceed to the next step. If you are using Android, pair with the VEEPEAK device using the PIN 1234. It should become paired or connected.
5. Start the app on your phone or tablet and make sure the connection settings are correct. Choose Bluetooth LE for iOS and Classic Bluetooth for Android. For example:
- OBD Fusion (iOS): Settings > Preferences > Communications > Type: Bluetooth LE.
- Car Scanner ELM OBD2 (iOS): Setting > Connection > Connection type: Bluetooth LE (4.0); Device name: Veepeak.
- Torque Pro (Android): Setting > OBD2 Adapter Setting > Connection Type: Bluetooth; Choose Bluetooth Device: VEEPEAK. Quit and restart the app.
- OBD Fusion (Android): Settings > Communications > Connection Settings: Communication Type - Bluetooth; Bluetooth Device - VEEPEAK.
- Car Scanner ELM OBD2 (Android): Setting > Connection > Connection type: Bluetooth; Device name: VEEPEAK.
Note: The VEEPEAK OBDCheck BLE+ Car Diagnostic Code Reader Scan Tool is a Bluetooth OBD2 scanner and does not use WiFi. It requires a third-party app for functionality. It is recommended to unplug the device when not in use. Always focus on driving and obey local laws and regulations. Not all trouble codes can be read as OBD2 is primarily designed for emission-related engine diagnostics. Other systems like ABS, airbag, TPMS, etc. use proprietary protocols to communicate, and only some special apps can access them on specific vehicles.
