Interested in an unofficial Apple Watch app?

I’m loosing connection with watch… already “re-paired” four or five times.
It’s paired for few seconds…than un-paired again….
And, SOC colour is now ok on the phone, but still wrong on watch.

Which watchOS version are you running? And which version of electric sidecar is installed on your watch?

Watch: 10.4(21T216)
Sidecar: 1.8.0. Build 115

but as i said, i fixed colours simply created them on watch.

edit: it looks that after i created four different colours on iwatch too, it started to sync with phone as well. When i changed % on phone, it changed on watch in a minute.

I've published an article on using scanners with Electric Sidecar, now available at https://electricsidecar.app/scanning/

Wouldn't recommend the Veepeak OBDCheck BLE.
I know Electric Sidecar has been updated, but Car Scanner could only connect to it maybe 5% of tries, so there's something about it that's less than the 100% OBDLink CX.

Car Scanner has an article on their site that strongly discourages using Wi-Fi OBD;

Ah did you experience issues with it? I’ve been using the BLE+ Veepeak daily and it’s worked consistently for me. I’ll try swapping out for the BLE variant though if it’s got worse connectivity.

I similarly discourage both Wi-Fi and classic Bluetooth because they require an explicit connection every time you want to use them. Wi-Fi notably won’t let you use wireless CarPlay either >.<

Yes, big problem with Veepeak OBDCheck BLE only able to connect maybe 1 of 20 tries.
Yeah, Wi-Fi OBD blocking CarPlay not good.

Aye that’s pretty bad. I’ll update the chart to reflect that it’s not a well supported scanner.
