Review on 🔧 PLX Devices Kiwi 3 Bluetooth OBD2 Diagnostic Scan Tool: Compatible with Android, Apple, & Windows Mobile by Michael Finnegan

Bought two days before I found out there was a newer version, Kiwi4, which I also bought. It connects easily with Bluetooth, but rarely with Kiwi software. Only "Connect" is displayed. I was sometimes able to get it to work, but only by unplugging and plugging it back in and restarting my Android (6.01) tablet over and over again. I've used ScanTool devices (MX, MX+) for years, had to stick with them, they never fail. UPDATE I've tested this with other phones/tablets running different Android OS versions and it's always the same issue. Initially the device works but once disconnected it will never reconnect to the software. The Bluetooth connection is fine, but one of two things happens when you connect to the app. It hangs on connecting or says it's connected and when I go to the toolbar nothing works and when I go back to the main page it no longer shows as connected. This was done on 7 different phones and 3 tablets running Android 6, 7, 8 and 9. I had the same issue with Kiwi 4. Two main issues when using this device1. It is connected upside down so no light can be seen. I have half a dozen different devices and this is the only one that is upside down.2. It's short, even when the device is flipped properly, it doesn't protrude enough to see the light. It's about half the size of the others I have.
