Hi,

The TONWON adapter is predefined now. Please invalidate the Custom settings so you do not run into issues from duplicate sensors.

Apologies for reviving this thread, however I am attempting to use my Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth 4.0 adapter on my 2011 BMW M3 and am having issues connecting. I am getting a "Green" reading on the TONWON BTLE OBD reading, however the OBD Update Rate is Red stating "The OBD sensor does not receive data at an expected rate."

When reading the UUID data from the device, I get the same info as posted here:

"IOS-Vlink",
service UUID: 18F0,
read Characteristic: 2AF0,
write Characteristic 2AF1.

...which is moot, as the dongle is now found automatically anyway. I've got to 7-8hz on an IOS, 09 Ford Galaxy Mk3, MultiRequests at 3 Adaptive (still have not checked adaptive timing options).
Here’s a screenshot: https://flic.kr/p/2haexEj

Am I doing something wrong, or is this OBD device not compatible?

Thanks in advance!

Does your iCar support the ELM327 protocol? The second version seems to, for the first gen I can’t see it. See http://www.gps-laptimer.de/compatibility/ios for compatible devices.

Yes. It states that it supports SAE J1850 PWM/VPW, ISO 9141-2, 14230-4 KWP, 15765-4 CAN, which are all supported by ELM327.

That’s a different topic - the bus protocol used by the car. ELM327 is a protocol used to communicate between app and adapter. For LapTimer’s Custom BTLE OBD Sensors it is mandatory. To add support for another protocol, a special integration is required. LapTimer offers a developer program for this - but this requires programming skills.

Understood. It is stated by the device page that it does in fact support ELM327 here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XG ... UTF8&psc=1

Then it should be possible to configure the CustomBTLE OBD sensor.

So I should input the following values into the Custom BTLE OBD Adapter Sections?

Peripheral Name: "IOS-Vlink",
service UUID: 18F0
read Characteristic: 2AF0
write Characteristic: 2AF1

Will it not run into issues from duplicate sensors since TONWON is already predefined?

I can’t comment on every sensor, I don’t know it. You can find instructions on how to setup custom sensors in section “Configuration of Custom BTLE Sensors” in http://downloads.gps-laptimer.de/LapTim ... rogram.pdf

Sensor recognition is done using the sensor name. I assume the iCar uses a different name than the TONWON.
