vGate/ '14 328i

Raypep · 10-25-2018, 03:56 PM

I'm new to coding, I just picked up a Bluetooth vGate and attempted to plug it into my car, there was not lights on the vGate. I tried turning car on/off removing the unit and installing it again to no avail.

I returned the product with the assumption that I just got a bad vGate, I just received the new one and the same thing is happening. No light when car is in accessory mode or on with the vGate. Also the unit is not showing up in my Bluetooth in my phone.

I'm starting to think my OBD sensor is bad? Or fuse is broken?

Any thoughts?

Dude.

First of all are you sure its Bluetooth and not WiFi.

My Vgate adapter is WiFi (as recommended by the developer of BimmerCode/BimmerLink).

100%: Vgate iCar Pro Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE)

Interesting with wifi. I might exchange it for that one instead.
