Frequently Asked Questions:
General
- Q: I have purchased an OBD-II Bluetooth interface and it came with the Trial version of OBDScope. Do I get the OBDScope activation key for free because I already paid for the dongle?
A: No you don't. Some device manufacturers provide the Trial version of OBDScope app with their products, but there is no license for the full version of OBDScope with them. You need to purchase OBDScope separately. - Q: I have purchased and downloaded OBDScope from Opera Mobile Store. But when I try to install the software I get an error message. What can I do?
A: Probably it was only a networking problem while downlading the software package. Please try downloading the software again from Opera Mobile Store after a while. You should be able to download the software from Opera Mobile Store multiple times without paying more than once. - Q: I'm expecting a response for my email I sent to OBDScope support. I never got the response. Why is that?
A: We do respond email queries usually very shortly. Please check your email spam folder and your spam filter settings. - Q: Does OBDScope work on my phone?
A: Some of the compatible phones are listed on the Hardware page. There is a free trial version available on the Download page. You can actually try OBDScope for free. - Q: I have purchased OBDScope activation key and activated OBDScope before it became available at Opera Mobile Store. Can I still update to the latest version for free?
A: Yes you can. Updating instruction has been sent to your email. - Q: I have purchased OBDScope but I don't like it any more. Can I have my money back?
A: No. We don't apply refund. Please try the software for seven days and make up your mind. You can try it for free. - Q: Will I get more gauges if I purchase the full version?
A: No you won't. All gauges are available with the trial version. Some vehicles show more gauges, some vehicles show less.
Connection with an OBD Bluetooth interface
- Q: I bought the cheapest OBD Bluetooth interface found in the eBay. The connection is not stable. Sometimes and with some vehicles I cannot connect at all. What can I do?
A: You get what you pay for. By using one of the recommended interfaces with an OBDII/EOBD compliant vehicle there are no such issues. The recommended interfaces are listed in the User's Guide. - Q: The Bluetooth connection still disconnects occasionally. What can I do?
A:- Update to the latest version of OBDScope
- Set the Speed up connection setting Disabled in General settings.
- Set the VIN query setting Disabled in General settings.
- Make sure the OBD-II Bluetooth interface is firmly connected to the vehicle. The interface may get loosened while driving, which causes disconnection.
- Make sure you use one of the recommended OBD-II Bluetooth interfaces.
Usage and features
- Q: OBDScope shows there are DTCs. When I try to clear them they do not disappear. What can I do?
A: Clearing DTCs should be done with engine not running and only ignition on. Some vehicles just ignore the clear command if the engine is running. So stop the engine, switch ignition on, reconnect OBDScope and try again. In addition, only the current and pending DTCs can be cleared. Permanent DTCs cannot be cleared. You should also note that clearing codes should be done only after fixing the actual fault that has caused the DTC to appear. If the fault is not fixed, the DTC can appear again right after codes are cleared. OBDScope always reads DTCs again automatically right after clearing the DTCs, so if the fault is not fixed it may seem like the DTCs has never been cleared. - Q: OBDScope shows incorrect reading for the Fuel economy. What can I do?
A: The reading may be inacurate by default. Please calibrate the Fuel economy reading. The calibration process is described in the User's Guide. - Q: Diagnosing a vehicle by selecting "Diagnose" from the main menu takes too long. What can I do?
A: Set shorter "Lambda Test duration" and disable "Diagnosis location" from general settings. - Q: How can I see the turbo pressure?
A: Turbo pressure is listed as "Intake manifold pressure". All vehicles do not support displaying Intake manifold pressure value. If you cannot see it with OBDScope then it is not supported by your vehicle. By default the unit of the gauge is kPa and shows the absolute pressure. You can switch it to bar or psi with right and left arrow keys or swipe left touch screen action. With bar and psi the pressure is shown as relative a.k.a. gauge pressure. - Q: How can I have multiple gauges visible at the same time?
A: Open any gauge and then open a context menu by pressing the Enter key. Then select Layout from the context menu and set the number of gauges as you want. Then you may select the visible gauges with "Set gauge 1 to" -feature found in the context menu. - Q: My phone has a touch screen. How can I operate OBDScope gauges without a keypad?
A: All the features are available with a touch screen as well. Tap down and hold on the upper half of a gauge to open a menu. Please see the User's Guide for complete description of touch screen features. - Q: Where can I find the enhanced PIDs listing for my vehicle?
A: Enhanced parameters are usually vehicle manufacturer specific and the information required for defining new PIDs at Settings - User defined PIDs is not always publicly available. If you are lucky, you may find the required information from the web. Tmi OBDScope does not maintain lists of this information, and cannot provide any further details. - Q: Is it possible to transfer User defined PIDs from a phone to another?
A: Yes it is. Just copy the file userpids.dat found in the obdscope folder on the selected storage. - Q: I have selected my language during installation, but OBDScope is still in English. What can I do?
A: OBDScope language is set according to the phone language. Please select your language from phone settings and reinstall OBDScope. - Q: I want OBDScope in English, but I get it only in my own language. What can I do?
A: Uninstall OBDScope, select English from phone settings and reinstall OBDScope. After that you may set any language as the phone language and OBDScope remains in English. - Q: Will software updates be free of charge?
A: Yes, updating to versions 1.xx will be free of charge. - Q: How can I read the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
A: VIN is available in Options - Vehicle info -dialog. The menu item is available only when the connection is established. VIN is also displayed as part of the diagnosis on the "Diagnosis" interleaf. However, reading VIN is not suported by all vehicles. If the VIN is not available it is not shown as part of a diagnosis and Vehicle info dialog shows N/A. - Q: I cannot see the Fuel Economy. Where is it?
A: Fuel Economy reading is available with vehicles having MAF (Mass Air Flow) or MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) value available via OBD. If you don't see Fuel Economy in Gauges list, then it is not available. Average fuel economy feature can be set enabled or disabled at General settings. - Q: I cannot find any menu item for clearing DTCs. Where is it?
A: Clearing DTCs and malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) is available in the full version only. - Q: I think I found a bug in the software. How can I report it?
A: You may generate OBD trace files with following instructions and send them to email address below:- Set OBDScope - Settings - OBD trace - Enabled
- Run the software to get the error
- Restart OBDScope
- The trace file appears in \obdscope\obdtraces\ folder in the selected storage. See OBDScope - Settings - Memory selection for the selected storage.
- Set OBDScope - Settings - OBD trace - Disabled
- Q: I would like to have feature xyz included in OBDScope. Is that possible?
