ABRP does not connect to vGate iCar Pro Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) OBD2

Hello, the firmware of the dongle is 4.1.10. Even with the BT enabled on my iPhone XR, ABRP (version 4.3.8 (2110)) is not able to connect to my dongle in a VW ID.4. Any solution?

@Samuel_ABRP: As you pointed out, you were right that the problem was the bluetooth permission option in ABRP settings. Everything is fine now and I was surprised on how the scan function in ABRP find many BLE devices. At my first attempt, no ID looked like the vGate dongle. When I unplugged the dongle and then replug it, I was able to see the BT name with "vGate" and selct it.

I am sure it will be helpful for others. In conclusion, I suggest to adding a warning in the scan page of ABRP and on the OBD Connection website page ( www.iternio.com/abrp-obd ).

Thanks you so much!

Hi, please make sure no other app tries to connect to the dongle at the same time. Also in iOS there is a bluetooth permission option in app settings, make sure that one is turned on.
