I seem to have the same issue as a lot of people here whereby it will connect fine the first time it's paired but then never connect again. Sometimes if I wait 5-10 minutes it will connect again but then drop after 10 seconds or so. Really frustrating as I paid £50 extra for Bluetooth capabilities.
(Update)App appears to not work with android headunits,cannot be found whilst scanning for bluetooth devices, lastest update has slightly improved on connection with app on mobilephone, though switching off bluetooth on phone, app resets itself and can no longer connect, module has to be put back into pairing mode again to be able to reconnect. Very poor app, that it appears not to be compatible with android auto, personally not worth the extra money.
Power control Bluetooth pairing is not working well. Even if you place your smartphone right next to your device, you won't find it, and it won't pair. And often disconnected. It is too difficult to change modes in the car. I request a quick improvement.
They don't have compatibility with Android Car Head Units and disconnect frequently from phone when connected. App is easy to use and has a nice instrument display on your phone. Just wished they would make it compatible with Android Car Head Units.
Worked great on Android 9 but since my OnePlus 6T has updated to Android 10 my Bluetooth will not connect displaying a message, pin or passkey is incorrect. My phone and dte box had to be paired again pressing the buttons on the box to initiate pairing as the app describes 👍 app works really well.
App works well, however one needs to be aware that the box needs to be close to the cabin in order to have a stable BT connection. Too bad app does not have Android Auto version.
Once paired, the app works for a short while and then loses connection and won't reconnect unless paired again... Very disappointing.
Runs absolutely spot on, much easier to adjust settings on the go rather than stopping to open the bonnet! Cheers guys.
great app, works exactly how it should. need to put the box as close as possible to the bulk head to maintain good connection!
I have installed 2 years before one tuning box with bluetooth capability on my bmw f11 . It was running fine until I drive to Romania and then the problem started. The engine died at 20 mile in traffic several times, went to a professional mechanic and he performed a full check on the car and advised to remove the tuning box, immediately after was removed the car was running normal without problems. I speak with the British seller and he asked to make pictures with the harness instead return
Tuning Box and pedalbox transforms the car. Bluetooth app is a nice perk too.
Easy to install, smoother ride, bluetooth does not work I clicked the + as instructed
App update resolved all the connectivity issues. Now thats fixed I'm very happy with the app now!
App works fine and no BT connection issues using my Pixel 3a with the tuning box facing the bulkhead.
It will be great to support Android Auto to control from OEM screen in car 🙂
Connection isn't stable and I have re-pair it every now and then
Nice and easy to manage
Bt connection goes in and out.
Do you need or require any other part to use the app or just the chip itself for a bt connection?
Lose a star for no ability to fine tune.
Fantastic product with a fantastic app
Does not pair with my Samsung s20 what wast of money
I find that the transition from electric power to engine power on my BMW 330e is initially hesitant with reduced power for the first few seconds. My car being hybrid. I think the software on the tuning unit hasn't been optimised for the 330e. Its possibly the same software used for the B48 320i..
Haven't had a single issue with the app, works fine
Simple and good. Does what it promised.
it works great the first time I pair it with the DTE box, but never connects again unless I re-pair it. Defeats the purpose of Bluetooth needing to open the bonnet every time.
Agree with Kane, exactly the same problem after pairing. Has to be repaired once ignition off.
Unable to pair with S21 Ultra. I turn the car so power is on but no engine, then put the box into pair and open the app. I select the box but it says unable to pair.
