### 1/5 — No support for Plx WiFi

*2025-04-07*

Is my WiFi device worthless now?

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2019-08-22*

App crashes each and every time I scan for ODBII codes. Other 3rd party apps work fine so it’s not my BT device. Claims to support Freeze Frame data but does not. Paid for logging feature but that doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Worked Great

*2018-06-30*

This update worked great on my iOS iPad. No instructions on how to do it, but pretty intuitive. PLX3 must be plugged in to car’s OBD port for power and Bluetooth conx established on your iPad, iPhone, whatever. When connected, the name of the Plx unit shows. Select it and run the update. It will probably be helpful to be in range of your/a WiFi conx.
After the update, I had to turn off the Bluetooth conx and back on to see the new firmware version.
Since I had a check engIne light, I tried the Kiwi App with the skimpy 1 hr trial. Running the engine and performing a scan returned a couple of codes and took me to a website which explained them. Since they were minor, I wanted to clear them which required buying the Basic license for $10. Cheaper than going to a shop for sure! All in all, I’m very satisfied and highly recommend the software.

### 1/5 — Destroyed my kiwi

*2018-04-01*

I downloaded and updated firmware and now cannot connect to my kiwi.  Do not use!

### 1/5 — Dose not work

*2017-12-21*

I bought a Kiwi3 OBD2 dongle and then found out about this app so thought I would give it a go.. 
all the app dose it say searching and then scan so I hit scan again and searching searching searching then back to scan.. 
I have tried accessories on, car started, dongle out, dongle plugged in, nothing changes..

### 5/5 — Update works great

*2017-11-06*

Connected to my kiwi 3 and updated the firmware without a hitch. Thank you PLX

### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK

*2016-10-08*

I tried updating my kiwi3 and it keeps telling me it has timed out. The reason I tried updating is because my kiwi3 stopped connecting and it does not show up on Bluetooth list of connected devices.
