Forscan lite demo issue on Android 5.1 car computer

Post by luvsforscan »

First I would like to thank the team for this wonderful product.

I am using my BAFX adapter with the PC version and my LG G3 Android M phone(demo). However, I have major issues with my new Android Car PC. It is a custom Android 5.1 I believe.

On the Car PC:
1) Torque Pro works fine with the adapter.
2) Forscan Lite Demo cannot connect. I noticed that the car computer shows the devices as null(xx:tt:ee:qq:we:ew) in forscan, where as the phone shows it as OBDII(address). I tried bluetooth 1-3 and still no issue. I have a feeling it is a very simple software fix.

I would be happy to help, or test I do some light android development, and have connected with OBDII (I develop on other platforms). Seems the app should work on these car computers, they are becoming popular.

I also have a small issue with a car I have, I'll post it in another thread.
