OBD sensor not available

Post by 2kebhfdzq369z »

Hello, I am a new user.

I am trying to connect the OBD sensor to the Laptimer without success. The phone is a Pixel 6a with Android 13.

I firstly tried with a Vgate iCar (ELM327 BTLE). I can pair it with the phone and select it as an OBD sensor in the Laptimer, but it is then reported as "not available". Since it is not officially supported I bought an OBDLink LX, but it does exactly the same. What can I do?

Thanks for the help.

Additional info: both devices are recognized and work fine using Torque

Additional info: the same OBDLink LX works fine with Laptimer and a Samsung Galaxy S8+ using Android 9

Hello,

There is a general issue with connecting to BT sensors for the current LapTimer version and Android 12 and 13. I work on a fix.
A new release should get available within a week.
