Search for Bluetooth devices in your settings app and if requested, pair using Bluetooth code 1234. This isn’t essential but it makes the connection much faster each time you use OBDeleven.

There are other OBD dongle devices which have built-in on/off switches, but the OBDeleven does not have this feature.

You should see a red light glowing inside the dongle. Switch on the car ignition (no need to start the engine) and plug in the OBDeleven dongle. The purple OBD port is located underneath the steering wheel near the rear-most edge of the lower dash panel, close to the side kick panel above the footrest.
