    Good morning, I'm trying to run DrPrius tests on a new to me '15 Prius. My problem is neither the panlong nor my old OBDLink LX will stay connected to my pixel 3a xl. They both pair perfectly, but 2 seconds after pairing they drop down to the previously connected devices list. Trying the connect button does nothing. I can forget and re-pair, but the same thing happens. My phone connects to the car and my earbuds perfectly. I've restarted my phone and tried updating relevant apps. I could update to Android 11, but I doubt that's the problem.

    Has anyone else run into something like this, or have suggestions? $5 says it's operator error.

    Thanks!

    All I needed to do was tap the obd2 scanner in the Dr Prius app and it connected just fine.

    No errors and 70% life left - yay!

    Looks like I won another bet
