Title: Scan My Opel Appy thing not working on Astra 4 (G)
Post by: zirk on 01 December 2016, 19:32:12

Full Paid for Version, Works fine on the Omega's, tried to use it today on an 2003 Astra G, wont connect to ECU / BT Device (its the cheapo Mini see through Blue Chinese type).

Had a quick Google and kinda got lost with people saying you need to pair pins up on the BT Dongle?, anyone shed light on this, or is the Astra G a different set up?

Ta.

Wont work at all? or will only talk to the engine ECU?

Dongle lights up, as per normal, then App say cant connect to ECU (no flashing LED Comms on the Dongle during all this), BT paired fine as normal.

Sorry Andy didn't read youre question properly, doesnt get past cant connect to ECU.

Think thats what it says now, let me go and get the Mobile.

I have used mine to trouble-shoot a faulty MAF in a colleagues 1.6 petrol Astra - thing is I can't remember the precise year so not sure if it was a G.  :-\

Also I have linked 3 pins together to try to talk to the SRS ECU in my Omega (without success) but I think I did it after plugging in to the Astra.

Tried another BT Dongle, same deal, seems strange that they work fine on Omegas but not 2003 Astra.  :-\
