@smartroad I've never tried, but it could work. I have a beta version with wifi and BLE enabled would like to try it? |

Sorry only just seen this, GitHub didn't notify me of your response, only just got your response to OffGrid below 😞 |

@smartroad you can try the new firmware and see how that works for you |

@smartroad I'm using an OBD splitter cable without issues. The WiCAN Pro and iCar Pro Bluetooth adapter work in parallel. The WiCAN Pro was sticking out too far into the footwell and could get kicked when getting in and out of the vehicle. With the splitter cable, I managed to move both adapters into the fuse box of the vehicle. @meatpiHQ I would be interested in trying out this beta firmware, if possible. |

OK, thanks for the info, @meatpiHQ . I wasn't aware that BLE will only work when the car is moving. Thanks again for your help! |

@Off-Grid-Garage keep us updated on your BLE+Station testing. Btw you can change the BLE power to help disconnect BLE when you move away from the vehicle so it would switch to wifi mode. |

Hey @Off-Grid-Garage how is the BLE+Station mode working for you? |

Hi @meatpiHQ, the device runs stable with this combination so far. I have tried the Smartconnect and it bricked my WiCAN Pro twice (with 4.30p Beta3). That's why I'm now on BLE+Station. What I was trying to achieve was to be able to login via BLE as well as Wifi when the vehicle is charging. There are certain parameters I can see though the iCar BLE adapter which the WiCAN Pro does not see (at least it does not capture this PIDs in its current state). As I said, I wasn't aware that the vehicle needs to move to switch on BLE in this mode. It's my wife's vehicle so I'm not using it myself. I need to do more testing and will let you know once I have done that and better understand how it works and what it does. |

Thanks for the update. I'll probably disable the smart connect mode for now, I need to do a lot more testing. For the extra parameters, we'll need to add them to the profile. |

Just moved the vehicle a bit to enable BLE. Funny thing, the car itself shows the WiCan BLE as an available device but my phone (s24) does not see the BLE device. |

I enabled BLE on the Wican and my iphone and macbook pro coudln't ever find the bluetooth device to connect to it. Not sure what's up with that. |

Hi All,
I was wondering, I have seen OBD splitter cables and as (currently) WiCAN Pro can't do wifi+BLE and I would like to use the adaptor with ABRP, would it work using a splitter to have my current OBD dongle and the WiCAN Pro attached at the same time?
