red devil blue tooth problem

[Stokes1114]

Have you not heard back from Red Devil? I have heard their cust service is very lacking. I got my bluetooth device from John at 1320 electronics. Excellent customer service and he is on this forum as well.

Nothing from red devil. Wasted $80

Not giving up, Samsung Phone S8 and Samsung tablet E could also be the prob. just grasping at this point.

been away for a few days.

This seems to be where I was at one stage. The red devil is not seeing the data stream. My problem was I reversed the 160 and 8192 terminals when I wired up the ALDL socket my ECM an 808 160 baud. But this should not be your problem. The other thing I have just read is that the RED Devil does not like a pin on both E (160) and M (8192) of the socket. I'm not familiar with your ecm I take it is 8192.

On my system I know the data stream is running because the CEL light flashes, this seems to be what you get with the 10K resistor. The 10K resistor will start the data and can be removed. With 8192 it would appear to be full on.

I'm looking for some information I have on the red devil showing the led status, I have missed placed it.

I'm at the stage where I am receiving data but its not going where it should, I'm playing with the adx file.

Are you able to check if the data stream is getting to the right pin?

The other thing I'm using a Samsung S8 also and it seems to be working.

The pin that is sending data is M at 8192, if I use a wire adapter every thing works good , I would rather not have wires. No pin E.
Timm Becker got back to me asking for tuck info, and he said that there is already a 10k resistor built into it.
I looked at the info on the disk that came with it and 8192 would be a blue light with some other color blinking every few seconds, I get that just no data.
ALDLdroid after pressing the connect button i get a red bar on the bottom of the screen with no response from ecm.

I started mine up last night.

First you are right about the 10k resistor it will start with the built in one, I don't have to kick start it. When it connects the led is blue. Then it flashes green and red when the data starts.
At this point it should start for you. One other thing you could check is if you have an XDF file in the XDF directory. ALDL Droid checks this at start up. I know this seems strange as you only want to see it connect at the moment. But I just remembered that I had to put an XDF file into that directory. When mine starts I get a comment that the XDF file it could not be parsed properly. This could be why I'm still getting wrong data.

Next you could try this.
Try ALDL Scan app. Its easily obtained from play store.
It connects to the RED devil ok. From the menu select Vehicle protocol (ALDL file) pick one of the pre installed ones that suits you. Then select Adapter. Then press view data.
It should start when you touch the arrows icon.
This programme uses less baggage but at least you can see if the red devil is working.

What ever my problem is it is the same with both programs. Next step is to check my wiring again.

Another thing to try is check if the RS232 box is checked. When connecting with a cable this is checked, you may not need it with the box.
Look in the ADX file at the Header for <flags>0x10001</flags> or <flags>0x01</flags>. If its like this then the RS232 box is checked. When unchecked it will look like this <flags>0x10000</flags>.

Its probably better to edit this in tuner pro, when you uncheck it you can save the file with a different name.

Thanks , RS232 Echo box was checked, I unchecked it, I will give that a try and let you know.

Still nothing from red devil.

Edit
I tried with the Echo box unchecked and still the same, I might just have to cut my loss and buy the other one and hope I don't have the same problem, that would bite
