ELM 327 won't connect

Postby mrvandango » Sat Mar 19, 2016 10:27 am

Hi guys. I'm having trouble trying to get one of these units to connect via bluetooth to my tablet. I have downloaded torquepro lite, and it connects to my transit no problem. Has anybody else experienced any such connectivity problems?

At first I thought that it might be a dodgy cheap unit, so I orderd one for a wee bit more but the issue persists. Any advice would be welcomed!

on my megane I need to have the engine running for the elm to connect and read if you get any codes turn off engine but keep dash light up to clear the codes
if at first you don't succeed get a bigger hammer

On mine you have to put the key in, then press and hold the start/stop button WITHOUT pressing the clutch/brake for about 5 seconds until the dash lights etc come on and then you can connect.
