Thanks for all the helpful info on Canion. The tool and the data it can capture are very useful.
Unfortunately, I am having problems with my OBDLink LX connection to Canion on my Samsung S6. It is continuously connecting and disconnecting. When I reported the problem, Scantool.net very kindly sent me a replacement. Unfortunately, the problem is still happening with the new unit and customer support suggested I check in here to see if there is a fix.
It starts to work and says it is connected then shows dialogue box "Bluetooth pairing request. Confirm passkey is (number changes every time) to pair with OBDLinkLX" Then before I can enter any numbers text comes up at the bottom of the screen that says "Unable to pair with OBDLinkLX. Make sure OBDLink LX is ready to pair." This sequence of events happens repeatedly every 10 seconds or so from there.
Below is that data Scantool asked for when they were trying to find the problem:

What is the year, make, model, and country where the vehicle was purchased in, new? 2012 Mitsubishi 1-miev, USA, New

Any thoughts on a fix would be appreciated.
