tablet not connecting, fine on laptop

Post by GmoLargey »

Does anyone know of a reason why a connection to a tablet won't work (connects and disconnects in an endless loop) but stays connected to a laptop with the same cables just fine?

I'm using my exact tablet setup and cables working fine on my car on my friends car, but the tablet or phone or anything other than laptop won't stay connected.
Only difference between our cars is my ECU is an MS2 enhanced, and his is a standard ms2 built by the same person.

As said, doesn't matter what wires or app combo used, everything works on my car just not his for some strange reason, loaded up the ini files, shadowdash recognises it and loads ms2 stuff, as soon as it connects it disconnects and does this over and over, I can only really put it down to something in the ECU?

Often if shadow dash gets caught in that loop it is because it does not have the proper ini file.
It will get it from the server if available and you have internet on the 1st connect.

What Firmware are you using?

I'm not sure on his firmware, I will be seeing him the weekend and will try again, I was connected to the Internet on our most recent attempt.

I will try drag some filea off the tunerstudio project files to put on the tablet, I never had an ini file to load with his car just autodetected through tunerstudio
