Ahh so I looked into this and it seems that it's unfortunately impossible to connect to the MX+ unless I get Electric Sidecar officially registered with the company that makes OBDLink. This is likely something I'll be able to do long-term once Electric Sidecar is launched and in the App Store...

Amazing! Do all of the monitors load for you now?

Not yet! I need to build in official Bluetooth device support for the MX, which is a bit more complicated than just supporting Bluetooth low energy devices.

Just uploaded v1.4.0-90 that should fix the initialization errors. I’ve implemented some fallback behavior for devices that don’t support wildcard responses. Let me know if this build still doesn’t work though!

Haaha so this pretty funny, I guess we're now seeing what people talk about when they mention the ELM327 interfaces being counterfeited. My OBDLink CX is reporting that it's v1.4b but it's responding to commands that were only officially introduced in ELM327 v2.0, so I suspect the OBDLink CX is...

v1.4b on mine too. Can you share the OBDLink CX identifier and version? The one I'm testing is: - Y82-DA14531M0D - v1.7 - Model CX101 Just tested with mine and was able to connect ok, so I'm wondering if maybe there's different OBDLink CX versions.

Oh, that's an odd one. When it's connecting do you by chance see the ELM327 version number momentarily? If you do can you share it here?

Can you try to connect again with build 89 and share the error you see? I didn't fix the error but this will help me diagnose what the underlying issue is.

v1.4.0-89 is out now! Several improvements in this release: - BTLE devices are now correctly removed from the scanner list when disconnected. - Added a kWh/100mi electric efficiency unit. - Updated the Live Activities onboarding UI to reflect the fact that it no longer requires a server but...

Resharing the link to join the OBD scanning beta group for those coming later to the thread: https://testflight.apple.com/join/qqA3wnAp

v1.4.0-89 uploading now, should be ready in ~10 minutes. It includes a better error description for the specific error you're seeing.

Hmm I'll try to get some more details surfaced in this error so that we can try to identify what's happening. To confirm, what vehicle make/model/year are you testing with? And which OBD scanning hardware are you using?

This is an intentional part of the upgrade path of v1.4.0-87/88 because of a data migration the app needed to do under the hood (I needed to do a destructive migration between data models and didn't want to risk the widget process trying to run the migration while the app was doing it or vice...

Submitting v1.1 of my CAN Decoder app which has been surprisingly successful in sales on the App Store so far ? I have no idea why or how people have found it, but it's increasingly a core part of my workflow so I'm happy it's also happening to be a tool others are finding to be valuable! New...

Added this! Will be available in the next beta release :)

Does anyone using Electric Sidecar have the official Porsche Dashcam installed btw? I've found the Porsche app to be completely unusable and I believe I've found a way to integrate it into Electric Sidecar in a more predictable manner. I'll likely add this feature for my own benefit regardless...

Holy cats that's really unfun :( I hope they figure out their parts logistics ASAP!

Oh no how many times is this for you?

Happy to confirm that Live Activities now work without a server in these recent builds :D This does require that Trip Logging be enabled though so I'll update the onboarding UI for Live Activities to indicate that.

For the "Checking capabilities..." bug this is still a known bug in the latest release and the one I'm working on addressing today. For now the fix is to kill the app and restart it.
