Bricked my linker

I don’t know why but the app failed to update and now the linker is bricked and will not connect to car. Use at your own peril

Device not discoverable in BT Settings

This app talks to the vLinker MC+ device when you select to update the firmware. Unfortunately it remains undiscoverable for pairing in the Bluetooth settings. The “Voltage” app requires it to be paired, so it won’t work with it. The mode change part of this app in the lower half doesn’t appear to talk to the device and doesn’t seem to help. So if you also trusted the Reddit post that said they work together: no they don’t.
PS: To get this app to restart the connection to the device, it seems that you have to shut down your iPhone.

Dose not work, worthless

I tried several times but it will not up date

Working

to get it working I made sure “auto connect” was pressed 1st then press “Download” for upgrade

Waste of time

No instruction what so ever. After some fumbling around I was able to connect and download the upgrade to the app. After that nothing seemed to happen other than a small piece of the progress bar turning red
