Car scanner and obd2

[5teep]

Car scanner has the mgs5 profile and seems to show plenty of info including battery soh. Using a new Vgate iCar pro OBD2 dongle. Far easier setup than the MG5 was a few years ago.

I'm off out to pretend to be Bjorn Nyland now..

I tried this in September and it didn't work so hopefully the App has been updated!

Profile listed along with the MG4.

Not sure if this is related but my smart keys are not being detected an hour after I unplugged the adaptor.

Well that was weird. I tried all sorts to get the smart keys to work, even the app stopped working. With first one key in the car, then the other, BT on and off. No errors on car scanner but cleared faults anyway. Nothing worked so I decided to try the battery disconnect, took both keys out to the car got in and it just turned on (laughing at me), never got as far as the battery. Now the app works again though not all items on it, e.g. I cannot start the AC or heating but it will now let me use keyless start.

Strangely it would always lock and unlock via the keys and phone but wouldn't turn on even with a key on the backup position.
Maybe it needed to see both keys to reset whatever?
