EV Compatibility | Please see the document "EV compatibility guide" in Product guides and documents. |
When I try to connect “VEEPEAK” with my iPhone, it tells me it is not supported.
On iOS devices, you will see this error when trying to pair with Bluetooth LE devices from the Bluetooth menu. You do not need to connect here. Please restart your iOS device so “VEEPEAK” shows up again on Bluetooth. Then start the app to connect.
Could not pair with Android phone.
Turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on; restart your phone; clear Bluetooth cache/storage: Settings – Apps (show system) – Bluetooth – Storage & Cache, clear and restart the phone.
Pairs with Android, but does not show as connected.
After pairing, it may go to saved, paired, or previously connected device list on different phones, but you can just start the app to connect. No need to make it show as connected in Bluetooth Settings.
App does not connect to the Veepeak device.
Make sure the App is compatible and the correct connection settings is made. Remove and re-install the app; then try with another app.
Cannot connect to the vehicle (or ECU).
First check the vehicle compatibility with the App. Verify if your vehicle is OBD II compliant, the ignition is turned on and the device fits well in the OBD II port. Then try it on another vehicle if possible.
Is there an App included with the item?
Currently no. You have to get a compatible third-party App from the App Store or Google Play Store. Also what features you can get mainly depends on your chosen App.
What vehicles are supported when using it with BimmerCode or BimmerLink App?
Currently only 2008+ models are supported for the two apps. Additionally, G series is not fully supported in BimmerCode. Please refer to the app official page for detailed compatibility.
Does it work on electric vehicles?
It can work on most EVs, but it requires a proper App, for example Car Scanner ELM OBD2 (with the appropriate EV connection profiles), ABRP (iOS version), EVNotify, LeafSpy, EV Watchdog, etc.
Does it read transmission temperature?
The transmission (fluid) temperature is a manufacturer specific PID so it’s not read by most generic OBD2 Apps. Please contact support for App recommendation or search for the custom PID information & add it in the App.
Where can I find product usage instructions or videos?
Please visit the Amazon product page “Product guides & documents” to get the latest user instructions and other product functionalities & compatibility documents. You can also click “videos” below Amazon product images to view product usage videos.
Common Issue: Have trouble connecting with your phone?
1. For iPhone/iPad, be sure NOT to connect VEEPEAK through Bluetooth Settings. As it uses Bluetooth LE, pairing is not needed and instead it will lead to an error. You just start the app to connect and the Bluetooth connection will be made through the app.
- What if I have tried to connect through the Bluetooth Settings and "VEEPEAK" disappears?
Please restart your iOS device and "VEEPEAK" will show up again.
2. For Android devices, if it does not pair, try the following: (1) Disconnect other Bluetooth devices, turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on. Try pairing a few more times; (2) Restart your Android device; (3) Clear Bluetooth data cache to completely reset Bluetooth (Settings > Apps > More options > Show system apps > Bluetooth > Storage> Clear data); (4) For Car Scanner ELM OBD2 or Infocar App, you can initiate the Bluetooth pairing in App settings; (5) For Android head units, check the Bluetooth settings and see if PIN is enabled or the default pairing PIN is correct (should be 1234).
3. Pairs with Android phone but does not show "connected". On some Android phones it may not show as connected after pairing. It may show as saved, paired or previously connected, but you do not need to tap on it to connect. You just start the app and continue to connect.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Next, I was able to enable some cool lighting features. For example, I enabled a module in BimmerCode that keeps my fog lights on while the high beams are on or while they’re flashed. I was also able to turn off hot and cold bulb warnings for a couple of lights (I have a modded rear bumber with fog lights from the JCW so I needed this to prevent errors from showing).
Finally, I made a few changes for quality of life. I turned off the seatbelt chime for the driver seat since I always wear it and the constant reminder was just a little annoying. I enabled the option to automatically fold in the mirrors when locking the car, enabled the mirror to tilt downwards when putting the car in to reverse, adjusted the digital speedometer to show an accurate measurement instead of the slightly modified number BMW shows with the factory settings, and a few other relatively simple changes like that.
I never had any issues with connectivity or any other problems with the Veepeak device. It worked flawlessly through all of this re-coding. From what I understand this device will also work with apps like “Torque” where you can connect to a tablet and show gauges like coolant temp, oil pressure, etc., right through the tablet. I believe you can also read codes through it as well with the right app as BimmerCode is able to clear any codes with every re-code. So there’s a wide range of what’s available to you with this device as long as you get the right apps. From what I’ve seen in my personal experience, there’s no reason to buy the more expensive options when the majority of your costs are going to come from the app purchases you’ll need to make anyway. Also, some people have complained that the Bluetooth devices or Bluetooth low energy devices like this have a problem with data transfer speed. I personally didn’t see a problem there. Re-coding was quite fast and I doubt the WiFi versions are any faster as I believe the bandwidth bottleneck is with the ECU/ECM and not with the transfer protocol itself (Bluetooth/BLE/WiFi).

See video attached:
The only thing it needs is more memory buffering. The RPMs and coolant temp get stuck on a previous readout. And sometimes I have to load the Dashboard again to get current readouts. Speedometer is accurate when driving. I mainly wanted it for shifting with RPMs as my stock F150 did not have a tachometer.

Reviewed in Canada on February 16, 2024
Die Kompatibilität mit beiden Betriebssystemen, iOS und Android, ist für mich ein entscheidender Pluspunkt. Egal, ob ich mein iPhone oder mein Android-Tablet verwende, der Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ funktioniert einwandfrei und bietet eine nahtlose Verbindung. Die Einrichtung war sehr einfach und innerhalb weniger Minuten war das Gerät betriebsbereit.
Die Diagnosefunktionen dieses Adapters sind umfangreich und genau. Mit der zugehörigen App konnten wir problemlos auf eine Vielzahl von Daten meines Fahrzeugs zugreifen, darunter Motordrehzahl etc. Die Angeben in der Beschreibung was alles gemessen werden kann stimmen mit den tatsächlichen funktionen überein.
Der Fehlercode der Hybridbatterie wurde schnell ausgelesen, die defekten Module identifiziert und in der Grafik anschaulich dargestellt.
Die kompakte Bauweise des Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ macht ihn äußerst benutzerfreundlich. Der Adapter lässt sich leicht an den OBD-II-Port meines Fahrzeugs anschließen, ohne dabei im Weg zu sein oder unnötigen Platz einzunehmen. Die Bluetooth-Verbindung ist stabil und wir hatten keine Verbindungsprobleme.
Zusammenfassend kann ich sagen, dass der Veepeak OBDCheck BLE unsere meine Erwartungen super erfüllt hat. und möchte die Kompatibilität, die präzisen Diagnosefunktionen und die benutzerfreundlichen Bedienung hervorheben. Ich kann dieses Produkt definitiv empfehlen.
