If you are having issues connecting the First-Generation device (white for Android) here is what you can check:
Are you able to see the red led active on the device when you connect it to the car? Once you connect the device to your vehicle, the RED light of the device should light up which means that the device is getting voltage from the vehicle. If it does not light up, you can try to test it with another vehicle. If it still does not light up, the device might be faulty. Contact Customer Support.
Does your phone find the device via phone Bluetooth settings? You can check if you can find the device via your phone's Bluetooth. If you can not find it, you can test it with another phone/tablet. If you still can't find it, the device might be faulty and you should contact Customer Support.
Are you able to pair the device with pairing code 1234? If you are able to find the device via Bluetooth, try to pair it by using the 1234 code. (Make sure that your phone/tablet is unpaired from another device)
What error message did you get when you are trying to connect via OBDeleven app? Check what exactly happens when you press the connect button. If you are receiving a message "Device not responding" the device is most likely faulty and you should contact Customer Support.
