I installed AlphaOBD2 in my phone and purchased a cheap Veepeak bluetooth scanner from Amazon. I didn't buy a more expensive one because currently my only real plan is to enable the turnsignal DRL's. In reviews, some said they had no issues with the Veepeak. So I'm not sure if I am doing something wrong or this just won't communicate. I will return it for a better one if I have to, but if someone could steer me in the right direction as to how to connect, it would be greatly appreciated.
So far I have hit the bluetooth button on the Alpha app and it gives a list of 4 different Uconnect numbers plus AndroidAuto which I assume is my phone. I tried to connect with the Android Auto and the only Uconnect that ended with 4C since I upgraded from the 3C, both to no avail.
I also hit the little icon at the top of the Alpha app that looks like gears which took me to OBD Interface. There were a few options there but the only option that made sense was the one that said BLUE adapter with OBD/link. I tried with and without that checked and no go. If I cannot figure this out, I will just return the scanner and eat the $50 for the Alpha. Any advice is appreciated, but go easy on me, as I said I'm an old dude and tech dummy.
This is the scanner I have.... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B011NSX27A?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
