8. Nominal Idle current: 45mA
9.Communication range: 500m open field
10.SSID: VGATE (discontinued) or BUYOBD (current)
11.Encryption: Open (VGATE) and WEP shared/WEP128 (BUYOBD)
Usage:
1. Keep car key at off position
2. Plug the Vgate scantool into Car OBDII female socket.
OBD2 socket is usually below the driving wheel.
The Vgate should blink all 3 LEDs and off again.
Only red power LED remains on.
3. Insert car key.
4. Switch car key to Accessory ON position,
5. Turn on WiFi of PCtebook/smart phone.
Check Windows control panel>wireless network>Setting>Advanced>Wireless mode>IEEE 802.11b/g/n.
Check android wifi setting, turn off existing link.
Check iPhone Wi-Fi networks, turn off existing link.
6. Scan the Vgate wifi device from your Desktop/Notebook PC/PDA/phone.
Find SSID "VGATE" or "BUYOBD".
The Vgate blue LED should be on now. Otherwise, the device doesn't respond to the scanning.
7. For Windows/Android,
If SSID is "VGATE", it is DHCP mode, not need to set up.
If SSID is "BUYOBD", enter 13 digits password shown on the label of the white plastic case.
IP: select "Fixed", and enter "192.168.0.10"
Subnet mask: enter "255.255.255.0"
DNS: keep blank
For iPhone/iPad:
If SSID is "VGATE", it is DHCP mode, not need to set up.
If SSID is "BUYOBD", enter 13 digits password shown on the label of the white plastic case.
IP: change from "DHCP" to "Fixed"!
IP: enter "192.168.0.11" or later
Subnet mask: enter "255.255.255.0"
HTTP local port: enter "35000"
8. App setup: select Vgate device as KiWi wifi or ELM327.
Click link, app will build a link to Vgate.
App may take time for scaning vehicle protocol less than a minute or so.
App starts to show static data once recognize the protocol and has correct table of associated sensor.
The Vgate green LED should be blinking now.
The faster data rate the protocol is, the the faster the green LED blinks.
Turn off the app, not minimize", if app fails to link and doesn't show data. Start another app and try again.
Some vehicles may have to turn car key to "ON/Start" position to activate car ECU.
Turn car key to "ON/Start" position to read real-time data.
