How do you pair this reader with phone of tablet? I have tried it with both my Android cell phone and tablet, and it's simply not recognized.

I use a freeware code reader app that automatically pairs with it its called TORQUE(free)

Your android devise should recognize it just like when you pair any other Bluetooth device. This perticular reader does not connect to my devices worth a darn either. May connect but drops within a minute or two and does not reconnect... cheap crap reader.

Hi LIVIA this is a great little tool. I paired it with my android tablet without much trouble. Make sure your tablet is in the discovery mode. The code is either 1234 or 0000. It should be one of those codes. I also use Torque like one of the other responses so that may be why this tool has been so useful and trouble free for me. Sometimes I have to re-pair it but that is a minor issue. I carry it with me in case I have a problem on the road or if I see someone that needs help.

http://www.androidcentral.com/android-101-how-pair-bluetooth-headset-0Check out that link. Follow those instructions. The name of the device will be "OBD2" and you need to have it into your car with the car turned on. Then go to your Bluetooth settings click on it and try simple pins (0000,1234,4321,1111, etc)

Not compatible with my Android Samsung tablet, nor my Android phone. That was frustrating... hopefully, they'll make new drivers..

I have a Pandigital and it is not compatible. For any tablet or reader that has a USB port, per the company it should work. I did connect via USB to a regular laptop as well as a desktop just to see if it is functional-- yes. I hope this helps

This model and mine run the same Droid OS. First, you must have an ACTIVE Netflix account to use it. Once the app is installed you still have to LOG IN with your information. I sideloaded (downloaded and installed the app through another app) the Netflix app onto mine. I think I got mine through GetJar which should already be on your tablet. Or try the Google e-reader app which has other apps in it. Once it has 'successfully' downloaded and installed it should work, IF you have an active Netflix account. Mine works perfectly on both my Kyros and Kindle Fire HD.

I have paired with my tablet and phoneBut it took a couple of tmes because I was not doing it correctly. Make sure it is on and set to pair (blue) light flashing. Then have your device scan. It is time sensitive. Just make sure you do the steps correctly and your device is not blocking it.Hope this helps

that is how you "pair" your devices to the unit. Ie: cell phone, ipad, kindle, etc.

Well, did dual-linking for fun(dont really need it) on my Android phone and Android Tablet. It worked. Also you have to specify in bluetooth settings which mode each device is using( in my case, phone was phone, and tablet was media ). Basically while I was watching some show, and when I got a call on my phone, Abco allowed me to receive the call, talk, and then go back to listening to the stuff on the tablet. Don't really know HOW exactly to switch between the devices, so, for example, if you want to place a call on the phone while still being connected to the tablet, you have read the manual if that's possible.

Not sure why it didn't work, on Bluetooth setting and in discoverable mode for my phone. Then with the speaker on I pressed the Bluetooth button and it paired easily. I have my iPhone and iPad connected with it. I have others connected to it at work, iPhone and android based phones. Try holding the Bluetooth button down a few seconds while your device is in discoverable mode. Other than that I don't have any other suggestions. Maybe another buyer could help?

I used the Torque paid version. you need to pair the BT device to your phone first then open the app. I also used the free version too and it worked with my Galaxy tab and S3.

I have no problem when I pair it with my ipod and samsung galaxy s5. I doesn't work on my asus tablet. So it chooses devices to pair with. Make sure you scan and pair them and see the devices paired on the screen. Otherwise, I dont know what else to say.Good luck.

This is a USB device - neither of those has a USB port. If you had some sort of adaptor, then, you'd need a driver for the reader that would run on your device. Unlikely you'd find that since neither has a USB port so not many people will be running this reader. There is a real lack of card reader support for mobile devices.

Hi leonard,Go into the menu on ur phone. There should be an option to turn bluetooth on. Turn it on. Then turn on ur bluetoth device..after it is charged. The phone may automatically recognize it. If not, go back to the phone menu. Open bluetooth and link to the Find Device option and it shoul recognize ur device...if not, write again!

Kristen, I had quite abut if difficulty as well, with my nook. I repeated the steps over and over until it was finally "recognized" but it didn't work! I returned it and got another, and the same thing happened. I'm sorry but I was fed up and gave up :(

I haven't been able to get it to do that with my phone. I tried, but it doesn't seem to be an option. It might just be my phone, or it might be that the device is incompatible for this. I'm not sure which.

I just followed the instructions, and recall that it was fairly easy - but as far as I can remember, it can only be paired with one device at a time, so it will be either your tablet or your computer. If you want to use it with both, you will have to re-pair it every time you switch.
