Veepeak OBD2 Bluetooth Password: Simple Steps to Connect with BimmerCode

Connecting your Veepeak OBD2 Bluetooth adapter to the BimmerCode app is generally a straightforward process, and you likely won’t need a specific “password” in the traditional sense. This guide will walk you through connecting your Veepeak OBDCheck BLE or BLE+ adapter to BimmerCode on both Android and iOS devices, ensuring a smooth experience for coding your BMW or Mini.

Connecting Your Veepeak OBD2 Adapter on Android

Here’s how to establish a stable Bluetooth connection between your Veepeak OBD2 adapter and your Android device for use with BimmerCode:

1. Plug-in and Ignition: First, locate the OBD port in your car. It’s usually found in the driver’s side footwell. Plug your Veepeak device into this port and turn on your car’s ignition. You don’t need to start the engine, just turn the ignition to the “ON” position.
2. Bluetooth Management: To avoid conflicts, disconnect any existing Bluetooth connections to your car’s iDrive system or other devices.
3. Airplane Mode & Bluetooth Activation: Enable Airplane mode on your Android phone. Then, specifically turn Bluetooth back on while Airplane mode is still active. This helps isolate the Bluetooth connection for the OBD adapter.
4. Pairing with “VEEPEAK”: Navigate to your Android phone’s Bluetooth settings. Look for available devices and you should see “VEEPEAK” listed. Tap to pair with it. Note: You typically won’t be prompted for a password during this pairing process with Veepeak OBD2 adapters. The connection is usually password-free for OBD2 Bluetooth devices.
5. Adapter Selection in BimmerCode: Open the BimmerCode app and go to the “Settings” menu within the app. Find the adapter type setting and select “Veepeak OBDCheck BLE/BLE+” from the list of options.
6. Final Connection: Return to the BimmerCode app’s start screen and tap the “Connect” button. The app should now communicate with your Veepeak adapter and your car.

Connecting Your Veepeak OBD2 Adapter on iOS

Connecting on iOS follows a similar process with a few key adjustments for Apple devices:

1. Plug-in and Ignition: As with Android, plug the Veepeak adapter into your car’s OBD port and turn the ignition to the “ON” position.
2. Airplane Mode, Bluetooth & Wi-Fi: Enable Airplane mode on your iOS device. Then, turn Bluetooth back on, but ensure Wi-Fi is turned off. Wi-Fi can sometimes interfere with the Bluetooth connection process for OBD2 adapters on iOS.
3. CarPlay and iDrive Disconnection: Disable CarPlay in your iOS settings by going to “Settings” > “General” > “CarPlay”, selecting your car, and disabling “CarPlay”. Additionally, disconnect your iOS device in your car’s iDrive settings under “COM” > “Mobile devices” > Select your device > “Disconnect device”.
4. Additional Bluetooth Disconnections: Disconnect any other Bluetooth devices that might be connected to your iOS device to minimize interference.
5. Proximity: Keep your iOS device as close as possible to the Veepeak adapter during the connection process.
6. Adapter Selection in BimmerCode: Open the BimmerCode app settings and choose either “OBDCHECK BLE” or “BLE+” as the adapter type, depending on your specific Veepeak model.
7. Connect in BimmerCode: Tap “Connect” on the BimmerCode start screen. The app will now attempt to establish a connection.

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

If you encounter problems connecting your Veepeak OBD2 adapter, consider these troubleshooting steps:

• Adapter Compatibility: Double-check that your Veepeak adapter is compatible with your BMW or Mini model and the BimmerCode app. Refer to the BimmerCode app’s website or documentation for compatibility lists.
• Bluetooth Interference: Ensure no other Bluetooth devices are interfering with the connection. Try disconnecting other Bluetooth devices in the vicinity.
• Adapter Reset: In rare cases, the adapter might need a reset. Unplug it from the OBD port, wait a few moments, and plug it back in.
• App and Device Restart: Restart both the BimmerCode app and your Android or iOS device.
• Firmware Updates: Check if there are any firmware updates available for your Veepeak adapter. While less common, outdated firmware can sometimes cause connection problems.

By following these steps and troubleshooting tips, you should be able to successfully connect your Veepeak OBD2 Bluetooth adapter to the BimmerCode app and start coding your BMW or Mini. Remember, a specific “Bluetooth password” is generally not required for Veepeak OBD2 adapters; the pairing process is usually automatic and password-free. If you continue to experience issues, consult the Veepeak and BimmerCode support resources for further assistance.
