BlueDriver: No response from vehicle

[bradleydavidgood777]

Hi,

I am able to use my BlueDriver scan tool on my other car (CRV) no problem.

On the 2017 i-MiEV, I am able to connect via bluetooth to the sensor, but then within the BlueDriver app on the phone, I hit connect, and get "No response from vehicle".

This is with the car in the run position but not started, as directed.

I've contacted BlueDriver support and they sent reset/retry instructions, which included deleting the app, forgetting the bluetooth device, etc. I followed all that twice and got the same error each time.

Anyone here using BlueDriver successfully on your i-miev?

Thanks!

Try getting into READY mode first.

That’s no guarantee that it will also work on your car, unfortunately.

I don’t remember anyone using this app/sensor successfully on a triplet. You may have a better outcome ditching the BlueDriver app and trying one of the ‘know to work’ apps with the BT sensor

Using an Android device also seems to increase your chances..

I did, that didn't help, thanks

Thank you!

I ordered the

OBDLINK MX+​

Because I don't have Android anything.

Then I'm going to install Car Scanner pro.

Thanks!

Let us know how you get on with the OBDLink MX+ as iOS devices (iirc) usually require a WiFi OBD dongle to connect to a triplet?

Because there is no explanation here for what is happening and this topic could be mostly useless in sort of wide knowledge, lets add some additional information here.

Electric cars do not talk the protocol from old, inefficient vehicles using some outdated technology burning things and making useless noise while doing so.
That old protocol is named OBD. Like the name of the connector type that is been used in the imiev. Here two short texts written about that:
https://github.com/fr3ts0n/AndrOBD/...ndrobd-support-additional-non-obd-sensor-data
https://github.com/fr3ts0n/AndrOBD/issues/231

The imiev is using 3 different ways to communicate.
1. J2534 (not J2534-2) https://blog.obd2.ltd/j2534-explained-what-you-need-to-know/
2. CAN
3. K-Line

I cant find any source code of BlueDriver to be able to read what its doing.

I do not understand why you now spend that much money for a OBDLink MX+ and go again with some closed source third party tool named Car Scanner pro.

What is your goal you want to achieve?

If you just want to fix something on your car, then use original Mitsubishi MUT 3 SE software. That software is developed by Mitsubishi and you drive a Mitsubishi. I do not understand why people forcefully try to spend as much money as possible to get the lowest possible result out of that investment instead of getting at first the original Mitsubishi software and only if this is not enough, only then search for other tools.

He's an apple user... That's what they all do

I mean, don't get me wrong, Apple products are great, but they're also the best way to spend a lot of money when a quarter the price would most probably suffice elsewhere. Horses for courses.

Happy Christmas everyone (no. Matter which platform you use )
