    Help! My BAFXPro OBD BT adaptor will show connected for about 15 secs. on my 920, then disconnect. I tap connect and it connects again for 15 secs, then disconnects. I never get the pairing code screen. Has anyone successfully paired this thing up?

    Thanks all!

    Do you have the latest firmware for the Bluetooth device?

    I wouldn't know. This device connects to the OBDII connector in most current cars to allow the reading of engine parameters. There are no specs in the packaging. What spec am I looking for? I guess I have to go to the adaptor manufacturer for specifications?

    I haven't tried that specific OBDII adaptor, but the generic one I bought off eBay refused to connect to my 920 until I disabled the Bluetooth in my car. Once the connection is established, I can safely turn the car's Bluetooth back on and both connections work normally until I turn off my car.

    who is your wireless provider? and does your 920 have the Amber update?

    I'm using an AT&T Lumia 920 with the Amber update and GDR3 preview. I bought an adapter like this one: Super Mini Bluetooth ELM327 V1 5 OBD2 OBD II Can Bus Auto Diagnostic Tool | eBay

    Little off topic but what app are you using to read OBD II codes?

    I bought the same elm 327 mini adapter. It will connect to Bluetooth on my Lumia 810 for three seconds then disconnects.
