Problem with Bluetooth Elm327

Post by ste »

Hello guys,

I got a Bluetooth Elm327 interface (one of the tested interfaces shown in the How to use page) to use with my Lancia Delta '08. I followed this procedure to set it up:
- Plugged the interface on the odb car socket. Switched ignition on. The BT interface led is now red (not blinking).
- Carried out pairing on my Win7 64bit laptop. Windows install automatically the drivers and two com port "Standard serial over bluetooth link" appeared on the device manager.
- Started Multiecuscan (demo version). Clicked on --> Settings --> Scan for interfaces. Nothing is found.
- Tried to test manually the COM port at all the speed available in the menu to no avail.

Can anyone help?

TIA, I am new to the ecu world, so please excuse me if my problem is trivial...

Hello

After the connection of Bluetooth ELMs again which COM port is used controlling.
And set manually in this Comport Multiecuscan / Settings / Interfaces

And best use this driver with the drivers that Windows is looking for, there were more problems
