Canion

[PV1]

Confirmed to be functional in Android 14 on a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. Connected and worked without issue, though the square-ish inner display clipped some of the text. Reducing text size in the app settings mostly resolved this.

@MickeyS70 and @PV1, thanks for your help, especially the link to the latest CaniOn source which I added to the CaniOn app overview.

I'm clueless in the Android world and will pick up something inexpensive plus the OBDLinkMX+ (I had bought the previous one at a super price on Black Friday) and will report back.

Hello from old Xavier
Canion should continue to work on new versions of android.
But there will be no additional developments...

My wife's car has been replaced by a VW E-Up.

For your information, I had adapted a specific version for the Hyundai Ioniq5. But I sold this car because of the total absence of customer service (2 months waiting for the ICCU to be replaced and not a word of apology).

And now, I'm adapting canion to my new lexus rz450e (almost finished).

Also, I now recommend the Vlinker MC+ interface instead of OBDLINK MX+ : it's much cheaper and works at least as well. I use both...

Bye-bye
Xavier

I also messaged the developers to see if they have any updates on the status of the project. They are both members here but haven't been active for a while.

Joe, sorry to hear about your collection going missing. Hopefully you find everything.

Android changed the way it handles permissions. Canion still works on my device though I can’t figure out where it stores the data. I couldn’t get OBDZero to record anymore after my phone auto updated to the new android. Got hold of developer and he said he’s going to fix it an update the app. Anyone know what folder Canion puts the data?

Using a file browser (Samsung My Files in this case), I tap on Internal Storage and in the main directory, there is a folder called BT_CAN with CaniOn's data.

Xavier (@priusfan), great to hear from you! Thank your for responding and thanks for the OBDII dongle suggestion. Don't suppose that your Ioniq5 version works with a Kona Electric?

Wish you all the best with your future CaniOn software adaptations.

I'm still looking for an appropriate Android tablet, as there are dozens on Amazon...

Anyone have any updates when the CanIon app will be back on the Google Play store? What's a good alternative app to use with my OBD link MX?

Have you tried OBDZero or HobDrive?

You can "side load" Canion from places other than Google play store. Sketchy? Why yes. I had to do that recently though when I couldn't get my 11 year old copy to work with the car I was working on. I deleted the app and was gonna reload from GPS but found it AWOL like you. As it turned out, t'was my old no name dongle that had died. I took a chance and bought a VLinker MC (not +) from the factory authorized eBay vendor and it works great again with higher frames than I ever got with my old dongle.

Thank you.
1/ Where can you download it, pls, 'sketchily' or no...?
2/ What was your previous ODB dongle?

I used Aptoide to sideload the Canion app and this dongle was the one that either went bad or there was some change to the app that rendered it nonfunctional.

View attachment 1372 OK, thanks, an 'STN1170 Bluetooth OBDII Reader', then (in case the image disappears at some point and for the benefit of others)...
