OBD Link No Longer Working
Is there an issue with OBD Link and Mobile Manager? I can no longer save reports to the order. It always says it can't find the VIN when the VIN is clearly there.

The is an issue in Mobile Manager that will be fixed on the next update. Then it will work normally again.

Any update on either of these? I used the OBD Link quite a bit and really liked it, we have really been missing it lately.

Re: OBD Link No Longer Working
Is this broken again? I seem to remember it getting fixed, now it won't save to orders again.

Re: OBD Link No Longer Working
When I click on Mobile Manager to save, I get a window that says 'Loading' but it hangs there. Not the same behavior prior where it used to not find the VIN.

Re: OBD Link No Longer Working
Yes. I got out of the habit since the linking got broke. I used it again today for giggles only to find it was still broke. They still work as stand-alone scanners, though.Pauls Automotive wrote:Ditto.....I am really annoyed I bought those dongles and now can't use them!
