OBDLink CX / Re: WIll OBDLinkCX work with BMW 2023 PHEV (hybrid)?

« Last post by dalevine on Yesterday at 08:31:28 am »

That got it.

When I first opened the comm menu it showed that "Bluetooth LE" was selected, so it looked like it was active even though it wasn't. I changed the setting and then back again, saved it and then it started working.

Thanks

OBDwiz/TouchScan / Re: OBDwiz Fatal Error attempt to write a readonly database

This may be caused by a permissions setting.
You could right click on the the shortcut on your desktop and select:
Properties / Compatibility / and in the list check off "Run this program as administrator"

Let us know if that helps.
If that doesn't work, I suggest you put in a ticket for support at:

In the ObdLink app, did you set your communications to Bluetooth BLE?

If not, go to: Settings / Preferences / Communications / and change COMMUNICATION TYPE from"Bluetooth"  to "Bluetooth LE"

In ObdWiz  go to settings / connection and change communication type to Bluetooth LE.

Let us know if that helps or if you continue to get an error.

OBDLink CX / WIll OBDLinkCX work with BMW 2023 PHEV (hybrid)?

« Last post by dalevine on November 10, 2025, 08:46:21 am »

My car is a BMW 2023 X5 PHEV.

I cannot get OBDLink CX to connect to my phone and the OBDLink app.
The phone is a Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 running the latest android OS.

When I try to connect using the OBDLink app the blue light on the CX changes from slow flashing to solid blue. The app then says "Discovering Services". After a brief period it times out and displays and error and says it could not connect.

When I try to connect using BimmerCode it says "No Paired adapter found".

Will this work? If so, what can I do to get this working? If not, what are the alternatives?

TIA
Dave

OBDLink EX / Re: activation

« Last post by Shawnf350 on October 28, 2025, 03:59:05 am »

Follow the instructions below:
Too many activations error message
OBDwiz comes with three activations. You may run into problems if you attempt to install OBDwiz on more than three computers. If this happens, OBDwiz displays an error message: This code cannot be activated because there are too many activations for this code.

To resolve this error, submit a support ticket and include your activation code.
