Alex350z Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Does anyone have a cure for this? I have tried 2 scanners now. Both work in my moms fiesta but neither in the zed. It cant connect to the ecu. This is using the torque app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedy Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Yep and with you all too. Bought two types, both work on the Fords but not on my zed. Driving me nuts. !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiddenWomble Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 if you need to check a fault code then this plug in reader worked for my HR http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JA0LNQQ?keywords=obdII&qid=1441965275&ref_=sr_1_8&sr=8-8 no live data stream but i can check codes, freeze frame data and reset the error. which is just fine for my faulty front end sensor, means i can check a warning light is the known fault so it's doesn't hide any new problems. it's cheap and might get you guys going for trouble shooting, but it's no replacement for a bluetooth adaptor and app with live feed.

Jetpilot Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) I had bought 2 different ones (both cheap) and neither would connect to the ecu. Bought this and worked first time. http://www.ebay.co.u...mwAAOSw~OdVbcZl Follow the instructions though P.s cant confirm if it works on jdm though.

Jetpilot Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Yes, it worked on mine but cant guarantee anything obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherlockH Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) If someone else does get this dongle can you post up if it worked or not ? As I have the same problem and im using a elm327 v2.0 Bluetooth dongle Edited November 20, 2015 by SherlockH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Why dont you buy it and post up for others if it worked for you? Its £20 guys, whats the worst that can happen, you return it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherlockH Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Bought the Vgate dongle but it doesn't seem to want to connect to my android HU ? Will have a play around with settings over weekend see if I can get it sorted, was any lights lit up on yours jetpilot? None have lit up on mine ?

Jetpilot Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I cant remember but will have a check, that sounds like a bluetooth thing rather than not connecting to the ecu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginner Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 +1 for the vgate reader linked earlier in the thread. Ordered one based on this, and its arrived and working a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
