Is your Check Engine Light on? With an OBD app, you can quickly read the error codes so you can check what's wrong with your vehicle and possibly save you a trip and cost to the mechanic for minor issues. When you need to take the vehicle to a mechanic, it also give you a peace of mind.
There's tons of information available in your vehicle's computer systems, but most of it is not displayed on the vehicle dashboard. With this device and an OBD App, you can access a whole new world of information about your vehicle directly on your phone or tablet, such as Engine coolant & oil temperature, O2 Readings, Mass air flow, Speed, Fuel Trim, etc.
The VP01 creates its own WiFi for your phone or tablet to connect. It is recommended for iOS devices like iPhone and iPad. The VP01 also works with Android devices but you won't have internet connection for other apps. We recommend VP11 or OBDCheck BLE (Bluetooth versions) to use with Android if you want internet access during use.
1. Is there an App included with the item?
No. You have to get a compatible third-party App from the App Store or Google Play Store (some may require separate purchase). Also what features you can get mainly depends on your chosen App (refer to user instructions).
2. Does it work on hybrid or electric vehicles?
It can work on most hybrids or EVs, but it requires a proper App, for example Car Scanner (with the appropriate connection profiles), ABRP, EVNotify, LeafSpy, EV Watchdog, etc.
3. Can it reset ABS, airbag, and other non-Check Engine lights?
Most OBD2 Apps only provide basic emission-related check engine light diagnostics. You will need a capable App that can do enhanced diagnostic on your specific vehicle. Refer to user instructions for detailed information. Oil reset (or other service functions) is not supported.
4. Does it use WiFi or Bluetooth?
It uses WiFi to connect, and does not have Bluetooth connectivity. Please check if the App is set to WiFi with IP: 192. 68.0.10 & port 35000.
1. Device not power up? No power light on?
There is no visible power led light when it's plugged in. Please first check if you can find WiFi name "WiFi_OBDII" showing up on your phone or tablet. It will NOT send out a Bluetooth signal. If no WiFi signal shows up, check the cigar fuse of your vehicle. You can also try with another vehicle to verify.
2. App not connecting to the Veepeak Device.
Make sure the App is compatible, and you have made the right App connection setting (set to WiFi as connection type); remove and re-install the app (after OS update); try with a different App.
3. Cannot connect to vehicle (ECU connection fails).
Make sure your vehicle is OBD2 compliant, ignition is ON and the device fits well in the OBD2 port. Try to push it a little harder into the OBD2 port if the contact is loose; you may try it on another vehicle to verify.
