Yes , one forgotten thing not mentioned here is that you must always have a battery charger connected when using VIDA ...

On top of these I got a msg that my immobiliser has an issue so I had to take the key out, lock the car and unlock it. And only after about a minute I was able to start the car. Until then, it did not start, did not even turned.
The OBD scanner itself was EXTREMELY HARD to push it on the port. Did not even force it. I was worried I might break that thing off.



Can anyone help me with this?
Maybe I purchased a wrong scanner? Or my car does not have odb2?

That’s exactly what happened to me when I plugged in the cheap and nasty five bucks or less on eBay blue Chinese knock off clone elm327 or whatever the number was that BluePower sent to go with my BLP990A... followed by a strong smell of burning electronics...

One of the chips on the adapter boiled - luckily after removing it the car returned to normal

It’s a brand new battery in the car so this was not an issue.
Since I’ve sent it back to seller. I could NOT plug it in properly.
So for me not much damage on the car rather than my feelings...

The guy at the garage btw cleared everything and confirmed lots of stuff about the car I wanted to know.
Still saving £££ for a VIDA-DICE.
