TOAF Mobile/Android Communication Issue

[rga1983]

Hi

Has anyone had issues using TOAF Mobile and been able to resolve them? I'm getting read errors when trying to view error codes or coding. The only exception to that is the ABS module which it will talk to intermittently.

The PC version of TOAF communicates with all the modules so I don't think the car is at fault. I'm using the same cable as I use with the PC version and the app recognises there's a cable connection so I don't think there's an issue with the cable.

I've been emailing the creator who sent me some basic troubleshooting but ended the conversation with, "and what should I do now?" when that didn't work, so I'm now at a bit of a loss.

Any ideas or pointers would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

Rob

I have this issue when using TOAF with a Samsung with a combined USB 'C' / charging port. When I connect the USB C OTG adaptor to the Samsung TOAF will connect and then the connection fails and then re-connects, apparently this a 'quirk' of the Samsung connection. Using another make of phone / tablet and the connection is OK, the connection is more stable on my old Samsung Galaxy Tab A from 2016, but still not 100% reliable

Thanks Steve, I've been using a Dell USB-C to USB-A adapter connected to my Google Pixel 7 Pro. I guess it could be any combination of things causing the connection to fail. I'll have to see if I can borrow a different device and see if I get any better results.

Personally Rob, I'm not too keen on using the Android app, it loses the connection too often for me to have faith in its reliability, I use the Windows version on a laptop and don't have any issues with it, I restrict it's use to fault code reading or changing dealer options like the speed locking feature

Im thinking about downloading toaf but looking at the site it seems I’ve lost my chance as it’s just blank. I was hoping it could be downloaded to my laptop which used windows 11 with a suitable lead just for checking and clearing any future fault codes.

Anyone able to advise me further ?

Thank you . I’ll have look after I’ve finished my housework as the wife’s due home after 1300 !

If rebuilding the car isn’t enough she’ll probably want the house moving a little bit to the right! Lol !😜

You are very welcome:

Just remember when installing to modify the target directory and resulting desktop icon to match the version you are installing:

Version 5.0.51 (Program Files/TOAF Tools 51) will be your default version...

Version 5.0.43 (Program Files/TOAF Tools 43) use just for adding second-hand key PCBs to the BCU for free (just press "continue" when prompted for a password)...

PS Anyone else on here is welcome to use the link to obtain TOAF installation files

Downloaded both files . Thank you. I’ll obtain a lead when payday arrives as I’ve already spent a fortune replacing my front suspension

My Toaf modified lead arrived today from Ebay. I plugged it in and opened the file on my desktop and it worked straight out of the box. Thank you so much
