Can somebody confirm that it really works ?
What features are supported ?

Works on my end with the vLinker MC+ on an Android phone. Doesn't seem super useful so far.

 

[AmpedUp]

Anyone successful with an iOS setup yet? I bought the vLinker MC+, but the iOS app doesn’t pick it up.

I tried android + maclean 200 mce. Did not work.

@AmpedUp I am on iOS. You may want to check the ABRP for some help: https://forum.abetterrouteplanner.com/forum/6-community-support/

MCE 200 works fine with Car Scanner but I cannot get ABRP on iOS to see the device. you clearly have got it to work - any tips please?

The Vgate iCar Pro BLE 4.0 works with iOS. You get a warning about "High System Voltage" as outlined above. The key to getting the dongle to work seems to be going into the ABRP app via settings and making sure the Bluetooth slider is green.

For those interested in a dongle on iOS, I just got the ODBLink CX to work with iOS as well. As @Xsquid indicates, you need to make sure that in Settings > Security > Bluetooth the slider for ABRP is on.

I have not been successful connecting ABRP to the vLinker MC+, which would have been preferred given the physical security button on the device. I can get other apps such as nRF Connect to recognize the device, so it does seem to be a specific issue with ABRP, even though the device is listed as compatible on the ABRP website.

The Vgate iCar Pro BLE 4.0 works for me with car scanner (using bluetooth), but not with ABRP (using BLE)
So it must be a BLE or ABRP specific problem.

Does anybody know if ABRP can work with regular bluetooth ? Or any other solution to make this vget icar pro dongle work with ABRP ?

I own both the Vgate vLinker MC+ and the OBDLinkCX. I have never been able to get the Vgate to work with ABRP and Taycan, even though I can get other apps working with it. The OBDLinkCX (model CX101) works for me, so you might try that one. Perhaps the Vgate products won't work with the Taycan even though it seems to work with other car models supported by ABRP.
