Connecting Your Veepeak Scanner on Android Devices

Setting up your Veepeak Bluetooth scanner with a car scanner app on your Android device is a quick process. Follow these steps to ensure a stable connection:

1. Plug in the Veepeak Adapter: Locate the OBD port in your car. This is typically found in the driver’s side footwell area. With your car’s ignition turned on, firmly plug your Veepeak OBDCheck BLE or BLE+ scanner into this port.

2. Prepare Bluetooth Connections: To prevent interference, it’s crucial to disconnect any existing Bluetooth connections to your car’s infotainment system (like iDrive) or any other devices.

3. Activate Airplane Mode and Bluetooth: Enable Airplane mode on your Android phone to minimize potential connection conflicts. Then, specifically turn Bluetooth back on while Airplane mode is active.

4. Pair with VEEPEAK in Bluetooth Settings: Navigate to your Android phone’s Bluetooth settings menu. Search for available devices and select “VEEPEAK” to pair with your scanner.

5. Select Veepeak Adapter in Car Scanner App Settings: Open your chosen car scanner app (like BimmerCode, if applicable). Go to the app’s settings or adapter selection section and choose “Veepeak OBDCheck BLE/BLE+” as your adapter type.

6. Connect within the App: Return to the main screen or connection screen of your car scanner app and tap the “Connect” button. The app should now establish a connection with your Veepeak scanner, allowing you to begin diagnostics and vehicle analysis.

Connecting Your Veepeak Scanner on iOS Devices

Connecting your Veepeak Bluetooth scanner to an iPhone or iPad requires a slightly different approach, primarily due to iOS Bluetooth handling. Follow these steps for a successful connection:

1. Plug in the Veepeak Adapter: As with Android, start by plugging your Veepeak OBDCheck BLE or BLE+ adapter into the OBD port in your car’s driver-side footwell, ensuring the ignition is turned on.

2. Enable Airplane Mode and Bluetooth: Activate Airplane mode on your iOS device. Afterward, manually turn Bluetooth back on while keeping Airplane mode enabled.

3. Disable Wi-Fi: Temporarily turn off Wi-Fi on your iOS device. This step helps to streamline the Bluetooth connection process and avoid potential conflicts.

4. Disable CarPlay: CarPlay can sometimes interfere with OBD2 Bluetooth connections. Disable CarPlay by going to “Settings” > “General” > “CarPlay” > Select your car > and choose “Disable CarPlay”.

5. Disconnect from iDrive (if applicable): If your iOS device is connected to your car’s iDrive system via Bluetooth, disconnect it. You can do this within your car’s iDrive menu, typically under “COM” > “Mobile devices” > Select your device > “Disconnect device”.

6. Disconnect Other Bluetooth Devices: Ensure any other Bluetooth devices that might be connected to your iOS device are disconnected to prevent any interference with the scanner connection.

7. Maintain Close Proximity: Keep your iOS device as close as possible to the Veepeak adapter during the connection process. A short distance helps ensure a strong and stable Bluetooth signal.

8. Select OBDCHECK BLE/BLE+ in Car Scanner App: Open the settings menu within your car scanner app on your iOS device. Choose “OBDCHECK BLE” or “BLE+” as the designated adapter type.

9. Connect within the App: Navigate back to the main screen of your car scanner app and tap “Connect”. The app should now connect to your Veepeak scanner, and you’re ready to explore your vehicle’s data.

With these simple steps, you can quickly and easily connect your Veepeak Bluetooth scanner with your car scanner app on both Android and iOS devices. Start experiencing the convenience and power of on-demand vehicle diagnostics and customization today!
