Vgate iCar 3 BT Adapter - Live Data crash

Post by helloSunshine »

Anyone has experience with Vgate iCar 3 Bluetooth adapter, connected to Mazda CX-5, running Forscan for Android?

I'm able to connect the adapter with the car (no "turn ignition on" problem) but it fails after a couple of seconds when live data is pulled.

I did some more tests with the Vgate iCar 3 adapter BT and FORScan (on Mazda CX-5).

The adapter connects properly to the car; 15-20 ms. Error codes can be read without problems. Unfortunately issues start with the PID live data. Even if I add only 1 PID (i.e. DPF regeneration indicators) for monitoring and start the live data then FORScan starts to display the values but fails after a few seconds. The app crashs so no debug info could be traced and stored. Yes, I did a deinstallation, cleanup, fresh installation from the Play Market.

Any hints would be welcome - even that iCar 3 not suitable for FORScan :D

Some of our Android beta-testers complained on iCarv3 (it is quite fast but doesn't work with FORScan stable). However, they didn't complain on application crash. Google stores crash reports, we will analyse them and fix as soon as we can.
