    This method also works with sideloaded ABRP. I don't have the premium subscription and it still works with the live data. You can also have multiple apps (such as CarScanner) connected to the OBD2 port dongle at the same time - all provide live data. I like this as the screen controls are always visible and you can quickly jump between the different apps.

    Hey Tom, I have been using ABRP for a year now it’s accuracy is very very good, the more you use it the better it gets, its always with in 1-2 % margin of error, its live data is handy I monitor my battery temps with it, it gives me the ability to choose battery preconditioning or not, overall well worth it if you road trip a-lot.

    • @LudicrousFeed

      Nice! Can you precondition the battery with ABRP? Which car are you driving?

    • @allanmorgan4976
      @allanmorgan4976 7 месяцев назад +2

      @@LudicrousFeed I use it in my Genesis GV60, ABRP live data is so useful, if the battery is cold I use the car navigation to navigate to the charger, it will precondition the battery if the battery temperature is under 26deg, the only caveat to that is I only do that if its a 350KLW charger I can navigate to, most chargers are 50 to 150KLW so battery temp is not as critical with with the lower rated DC chargers it’s usually a flat charging curve in my car in any case, nonetheless I wouldn’t know this without ABRP telemetry.

    I use ABRP here in the UK with E208 and it certianly takes away any range worries once you have used it a few times and trust that it will get you home. I did a road trip and it go tme home with 12 miles left as I had configured my home charge int it. Another good feature is the fact it update you on the available chargers at the charger location, red and green circle, so you know if there is a bay free so you can adjust your speed for arrival when one is available. Nice reveiw. I have got the same dongle, just got to get hold of one of those leads.
    I have an andriod phone and when I paired the dongle to my phone I had to use device labelled for apple phones, but it works.

    Have used the Premium ABRP on the ATTO 3 for a couple of months. Great tool. Usually arrive at destination +/-1% of prediction given at the start of the trip by ABRP. Using on Android Auto. Using the VEEPEAK OBDCheck BLE dongle. P.s. works with the google voice commands for navigation on the road. A great feature is that you can set arrival charge for each stop in a plan independent of the other or default arrival charge setting.

    Another way to do it if ppl don't want to mess with the obd2 port (me for example, I use the obd port to provide power to Dashcam... so it's always plugged in), you could get a live data app like tronity to connect with ABRP. This will give you option to do planning using actual historical data when you are not in the car as well.

    I've been struggling to get the option to link the Bluetooth OBD adapter for live data and it turns out you need to "save this car" first before the option shows on the car type selected. You can use ABRP without saving the car at all, except for a few options like this. Wow, I spent way too much time on that to figure it out. Your video helped me find the clue; I saw you had more options in the saved car menu - thanks!

    Airport works. Also, I've used Evie chargers, which are everywhere, so when you choose them, they get plotted in the Google maps, providing you're already using gm to get somewhere. It asks you if you'd like to add a stop, once you've selected Evei charging station in their app.

    If you want to see the available chargers along your route the native app will show you. Just press on the bowser icon on the right side of the map. You can then select a charger and it will add it to your trip. It's still not useful as Tesla because it doesn't calculate your SOC or recommend stops, but it's not too bad. It will also show the availability and cost of most non Tesla chargers.

    • @LudicrousFeed

    I note Tesla is in the midst of upgrading a bunch of chargers to V4 so BYD should pull their finger out and get their cars working with V3 up. Not being able to use the Tesla chargers is a pain. And AFAIK there is no way to only rule out V3 and V4 superchargers in the ABRP app. You have to know which sites are incompatible and rule them out one by one or rule out the whole Tesla network.

      Its not difficult to downgrade, put in place the required "switches" then upgrade, which allows this. You do need to be able to follow instructions to the letter mind you, and be into the detail of capitalisation of files etc. *****Completely understand that it is not for everyone*****
      A much better solution would be for BYD to make WAZE/GMAPS/ABRP available in their store.
      I believe much of Teslas early success was the integrated route planning charging software and charger network, not necessarily the cars. They developed an EV market with textbook change management. Made it VERY simple for new EV owners.
      Or better still, companies like BYD, could just licence ABRP and develop CANBUS integration, then their users (particularly first time EV drivers) would be in a far better place than they are now. This would be a trivial exercise on BYDs part, with massive benefits to their customers.
