XBB Dongle® & XBB PowerUnit®
Our support team is very busy, we would really appreciate it if you first double check that you followed the installation guide from start to finish before contacting your reseller or us.
A tip: contact your local car workshop and ask if they use the XBB Dongle. If you're lucky, you might be able to borrow an XBB Dongle® to try it on your car before purchasing it.
1. Does the XBB Dongle work with my car?
The most common question we receive, which is why it’s at the top.
Read the following 3 questions below; they should answer your query.
If you're still unsure, take advantage of the distance selling law and order a kit to try in your car. As long as you don't damage the packaging or the product in any way, returning it within 14 days shouldn't be a problem.
To test the functionality in your car, you need to create an account in the XBB Configurator app and connect the XBB Dongle to the diagnostic port. Follow the installation guide to ensure you don’t miss anything!
Another option is to contact your local car workshop. If you're lucky, they use the XBB Dongle, and you may be able to visit them to test it in your car.
2. My car is not on the recipe list, does it still work?
If your car model is not in the list, you must test with an XBB Dongle® and the XBB Configurator app to see if the signals are displayed in the app. It may be that one perticular recipe works for several car models that aren't included in the list, if the car is based on the same model platform and has the same type of headlights as another recipe. But to be sure you have to try on your car with a XBB Dongle®.
3. I have tried a lot of different recipes but non of them seems to work?
Vi skapar & lägger kontinuerligt upp nya recept, vi prioriterar i första hand populära bilar men lägger även till alla bilar vi kommer åt i mån av tid. Du kan alltid skicka en önskan med vilken modell du saknar till vår support så vi vet att det finns en efterfrågan på just din modell.
4. My car isn't listed as compatible, can you make a recipe for it too?
Det går att göra recept till de alla flesta bilmodeller. Dock så behöver vi fysisk tillgång till den bilmodellen med just din typ av utrustning så som strålkastartyp, växellåda, facelift etc. När vi har din bil eller en motsvarande modell hos oss så tar det ca 2 timmar för oss att läsa ut den informationen vi behöver för att skapa ett nytt recept.
Har du en väldigt vanlig bilmodeller kan det gå snabbt att får tag i en likvärdig men är det en äldre och ovanligare bil kan det ta lång tid innan vi får chansen att göra ett recept. Vi finns i Sala för er som är intresserade av att kommer förbi med er bilmodell. Kontakta supporten och planera in besöket där.
I suspect that the XBB Dongle® drains the car battery?
Det kan hända om det valda receptet inte är kompatibelt med din bil. Därför är det viktigt att man följer den sista punkten i våran installationsguide, read below
Important! Finish the installation by switching of and lock your car. Then check in the app if the signal SYSTEM_ACTIVE listed. If so it's important that SYSTEM_ACTIVE gets highlighted with red color (0/AV/OFF) 2 minutes after exiting and locking your car. If that doesn't happen the selected recipe isn't compatible with your car and there's a risk of draining the battery. Please try a different recipe.
It may also be the case that the battery is drained if your car is equipped with a current sensor (BMS sensor) on the battery and you have connected directly to the battery terminals. In that case, the car does not detect that you have installed more power consumers and therefore cannot charge the battery correctly, causing the battery to discharge over time. This has nothing to do with XBB products, but rather with connecting additional power consumers to the car, such as lighting, car stereo, amplifiers, etc. To fix this, the connection points must be after the BMS sensor, with the positive cable ideally connected at the car's fuses and the negative cable at a good grounding point on the car's chassis.
I do not find my XBB PowerUnit® in the app?
Reason 1
Check the wiring to XBB PowerUnit®. On some relay harnesses on the market, the negative (-) connection is in the wrong place in relation to your XBB PowerUnit®. Double check that the negative cable goes to pin 6 (GND) on the XBB PowerUnit®.
When holding the XBB PowerUnit® in your hand with the text/logo facing you, the left pin should be GND. Follow this cable from the relay kit and double-check that it is grounded. Some relay sockets can easily be re-pinned with a pin removal tool to ensure that GND is in the correct place. It should be noted that we do not manufacture or sell any relay kits, so if it is wired incorrectly, please take it up with your reseller.
Video showing how to fix the problem.
Another option is that you simply haven't read the Installation guide and forgot to add a XBB PowerUnit in the app.
Reason 2.
If XBB PowerUnit® has previously worked, but is no longer in the app, it is usually due to one of the following.
- The user has updated the firmware/software in the XBB Dongle®, in connection with this, the XBB PowerUnit® and the selected recipe are removed from the system and must be added again in the app.
- If XBB PowerUnit® is not found in the app despite following point 1, you may have to update the software manually in XBB PowerUnit® (described in the FAQ)
- If it still does not work, the PowerUnit has probably not been mounted in an upright position and thus become water damaged over time and must be replaced. Another option is that you simply did not read the Installation Guide and missed adding an XBB PowerUnit® to the app.
My PowerUnit is overloaded / Blocked
Är det så att din LED-ramp eller din extraljus slocknar efter ca 10 sekunder trots att helljuset är aktiv så beror det på att du har kopplat in belysning som drar mer än det som XBB PowerUnit är avsedd för. Har du appen igång står det även under inställningarna för XBB PowerUnit att utgången/utgångarna är blockerade pga av överbelastning om man aktiverar utgångarna medans telefonen är uppkopplad mot XBB Dongle.
På själva XBB PowerUnit står det 15 Ampere på Utgång 1 (Pin 8) samt 5 Ampere för Utgång 2 (Pin 5). Detta finns också angett på själva förpackningen såväl som ett flertal gånger i manualen. Det står även i manualen hur man ska göra för att undvika överbelastning. Vi har även ett kopplingsexempel som visar du kan kan koppla beroende på vilket behov man har.
Amperen (A) eller strömstyrkan beror på vilken effekt (W) din belysning drar samt vilken spänning (V) du har i bilen. Amperen kan med andra ord variera på samma lampa beroende på vilken spänningen det är i bilbatteriet samt om bilens generatorn laddar eller inte. Är det kallt kan även det göra att lampan drar mer än angivet.
Hur vet man hur mycket ström det drar då?
Jo, med hjälp av Ohms lag som säger följande: Effekt / Spänning = Ampere
Som exempel: Säg att din nya LED-ramp drar 250 W enligt tillverkaren och ditt bilbatteri ligger på 12.7 V, då kommer alltså din LED-ramp dra ca 19,7 A.
19,7 A är ju som bekant mer än 15 A vilket innebär att du kommer överbelasta utgången på din XBB PowerUnit om du kopplar in den direkt på en utgång. I detta fall behöver du koppla din belysning på ett kraftrelä som i sin tur aktiveras av din XBB powerUnit.
I do not find my XBB Dongle® in the app?
If you have been connected to the XBB Dongle ® with the phone before but more than 10 minutes have passed since you closed the app, the XBB Dongle ® stops being visible to the phone. In order to then be able to connect to the XBB Dongle ® again , you must pull it out of the OBD2 port and put it back in again. If you want it to always be visible to the phone, you must click on the main menu in the top left corner and then select Pair with the phone.
Du have to have Location settings enabled in your phone. If it still does not work, try removing the XBB Dongle® from the diagnostic socket and reconnecting it.
My Led-bar / auxiliary lights turns off after 10 seconds?
Detta sker för att du har överbelastat utgången/utgångarna på din XBB PowerUnit. För att den inte ska gå sönder stänger den automatiskt av utgångarna efter ca 10 sekunder.
Utgång 1 klarar av ca 15 Ampere dvs ca 180 W. En del webbutiker saknar dock kunskapen att beräkna effekten/strömmen vilket leder till att dom säljer XBB PowerUnit tillsammans med färdiga belysningspaket som aldrig kommer fungera om man inte använder sig av ett extra kraftrelä. Hur du kopplar med ett extra relä ser du i vårat XBB PowerUnit® wiring guide but also in this video clip..
Tips, kontakta företaget du köpt ljuspaketet av och påpeka detta så kanske dom skärper till sig.
There is a delay when turning on and off the highbeam?
På ett fåtal bilmodeller kan det förekomma en viss fördröjning av både tillslag och frånslag. Fördröjningen brukar i så fall ligga mellan 30 – 80 ms och beror på en kombination av att XBB PowerUnit inte aktiverar utgångarna förens bilens helljus är 100% aktiverat/avaktiverat samt att datasignalerna från bilen – XBB Dongle – XBB PowerUnit tar ca 10-30 ms.
En del LED belysningar har också en “inbyggd” fördröjning på ca 100 – 150 ms från det att lampan/LED-rampen får ström tills det att den faktiskt lyser och det är oavsett hur lampan kopplas in.
I have to restart the XBB Dongle every time for it to work?
Det är inte något fel på din XBB Dongle, den har bara gått ner i standby-läge för att förhindra att bilens batteri påverkas när bilen är avstängd.
Inuti XBB Dongle sitter det en accelerometer som registrerar rörelser som exempelvis vibrationer och skakningar. Denna lilla komponent behövs beroende på bilmodell/recept för att lista ut om bilen är startad och rör sig, uppfattar den rörelser vaknar den till och börjar den lyssna/fråga bilen efter diverse information som behövs för att fungera som den ska.
Men ibland kan rörelsen från att man exempelvis stänger bildörren eller startar motorn vara för svag för att accelerometern/mjukvaran ska uppfatta den och då vaknar inte XBB Dongle ur sitt standby-läge och det kan uppfattas som att den inte fungerar. Det brukar lösa sig om man bara börjar köra med bilen då det per automatik blir massa rörelser och vibrationer, du kan även testa att knacka lite på XBB Dongle med handen för att se om den vaknar till och fungerar som den ska.
För vissa bilmodeller krävs det att receptet använder denna funktion medans vissa bilmodeller inte behöver använda datan från accelerometern utan XBB Dongle får reda på via CAN-bus datan om bilen är startad.

My auxiliary lights draws more current than the 15 A that XBB PowerUnit® can handle, can I not use your system then?
Yes, it is possible to take advantage of the XBB Dongle® & XBB PowerUnit®, but you need to use an extra relay to handle the higher current. Wiring guide is found on our website www.xbb.se, then click XBB Dongle to proceed. There is also a video clip that shows how to do it.
Delay when activated?
Many believe that the delay, which sometimes occurs between activating the high beam lever or automatic high beam activation and when your lights or LED bar start to illuminate, is caused by the Bluetooth communication between the XBB Dongle and the XBB PowerUnit.
It's not that simple; the main culprit in this scenario is primarily your car's headlights and, in some cases, your LED bar or LED lights.
Below is a more detailed explanation for those interested.
Let’s go through it again! We’ll start with Volvo. Drive the car up to a wall and turn on your high beams (not the flash-to-pass, but with the lever pushed forward) without the auxiliary lights connected.
The car's high beams will activate immediately, and after approximately 100ms, the brightness will increase further.
Volvo refers to this as "enhanced high beams," designed to help the eyes adjust to the higher light output. XBB receives the high beam signal once this enhanced high beam is fully activated.
This is the reason for the delay, specifically with Volvo and their Full LED Active High Beam System on the SPA platform.
From the moment the Dongle receives the high beam signal, it takes a maximum of 7.5 milliseconds for the PowerUnit to receive the signal via BLE.
The CAN data in the dongle is read every 10 milliseconds, so the theoretical maximum time to read the signal and activate the output wirelessly is 17.5 milliseconds.
Most car models respond to a CAN message with the high beam value within 20-30 milliseconds. Adding this to the calculation, the total maximum delay is 47.5 milliseconds.
However, note that all of this is interwoven between different systems and clocks, so a more realistic delay is around half of this—approximately 25 milliseconds.
Specifically for Volvo, both the left and right headlights are read, which adds additional time. This is done to check if either of the lights has dimmed when the adaptive lighting is activated, ensuring that the light bar can be turned off accordingly.
In most recipes, we detect the activation of the high beams from the central module, which the car's headlights also read from. In certain configurations, such as with VAG cars, the light bar may sometimes turn on before the original high beams, as the signal in question is sent out and picked up by the dongle before the car's headlights activate.
The issue with delays is most noticeable when using light bars or auxiliary lights with built-in delays designed to protect the electronics in the lighting. For example, Lazer has included this feature in some of their light bars.
To clarify, the delay is **NOT** caused by the BLE communication between the dongle and the PowerUnit.
In earlier recipes, we had a 100ms timeout if a specific signal was not present. For example, on a manually shifted car, we read gear information from the automatic transmission. When this signal did not respond, the dongle would wait 100ms before proceeding to read the high beam signal again. This introduced a delay that most users were "satisfied" with but, in reality, was an incorrect configuration from my perspective.
We have gradually rebuilt most recipes so that if this delay exceeds 500ms, it feels "unacceptable." This encourages users to either find a different configuration for their specific car model or contact us to either update the configuration so that signals are read in parallel (eliminating the delay) or create a new configuration without "unnecessary" signals.
Generally, there should be no noticeable delay with the XBB system. If there is a slight delay (<100ms), it is due to the reading technique and the car's response time.
In later Volvo recipes, we have also included the reading of the high beam lever and combined those signals with the HIGHBEAM signal to reduce delay. However, in the specific case of Volvo, there is unfortunately still a delay due to the enhanced high beam system. For instance, in our V60 test platform, which we used for many years, I could observe 2-3 CAN messages where the high beam indicated "off," even though the high beam was actually activated.
During normal driving, We didn't find the delay particularly bothersome; it was more noticeable when flashing the high beams at someone or when standing in front of a wall and blinking the auxiliary lights, similar to what you see in the video.
My lights do not work after the car service/workshop visit?
De flesta biltillverkare jobbar ständigt med att förbättra mjukvaran i sina bilar. En del bilmodeller uppdateras automatisk via nätet men det är också vanligt att din auktoriserade bilverkstad passar på och uppdaterar mjukvara i din bil när den är inne för service utan att du kanske vet om det.
I ett fåtal fall kan denna uppdatering leda till att vår XBB Dongle inte längre fungerar som önskat. Detta pga att ex. Volvo har ändrat nåt i sin mjukvara och då stämmer inte datainformationen med vad vår XBB Dongle förväntar sig. Detta kan i bästa fall lösa sig genom att du provar att uppdatera ditt recept till senaste versionen via appen men om felet kvarstår måste du kontakta vår support så vi blir medvetna om problemet och kan jobba på en lösning. Använd då vårt supportformulär här på hemsidan.
How do I update the firmware?
För att uppdatera Firmwaren i XBB Dongle så klickar man på Huvudmeny (De 3 strecken i övre vänstra hörnet) och väljer Uppdatera firmware. Därefter kommer den hämta den nuvarande programversionen och föreslå en uppgradering om det finns.
XBB PowerUnit
För att uppdatera firmware i PowerUniten behöver du först dra ur XBB Dongle från diagnosuttaget. Efter att du tagit bort XBB Dongle från uttaget så klickar man på Huvudmeny (De 3 strecken i övre vänstra hörnet) och väljer Uppdatera firmware, klicka på den PowerUnit du vill uppdatera. Därefter kommer den hämta den nuvarande programversionen och föreslå en uppgradering om det finns.
I updated the Firmware and now nothing works anymore?
When you update the firmware version in the XBB Dongle, you must select the recipe again and add the XBB PowerUnit as all settings are reset to zero during the update.
Does the XBB Dongle® work on cars with LED Matrix and Auto Dimming?
Yes, it works. However, the recipe in question must have been developed for adaptive high beam, this is stated in the recipe description if/how this is available.
However, if you have very powerful auxiliary lights or a powerful LED bar, the road signs may reflect back so much light that the car wants to turn off the high beam or redirect it, and then the XBB PowerUnit® output will also be turned off.
It's worth considering that the risk of dazzling other road users increases when you install more lighting on your car than what the automation is adapted for, i.e. your auxiliary lights/LED bar shine much further than what the car's camera system can see.
The car has received error codes/messages during the installation.
Den vanligaste orsaken brukar vara att man kopplat ut bilens batteri i samband med installationen och det kan generera alla möjliga olika felmeddelanden i bilen. Dessa felmeddelanden brukar försvinna efter att man kört bilen några kilometer.
En annan orsak kan vara att man kopplat in XBB PowerUnit/belysningen direkt på bilbatteriets minuspol. Detta gör att bilens BMS-sensor inte känner av den nya belastningen och därmed kommer inte heller generatorn att ladda batteriet tillräckligt vilket i sin tur får till följd att batterispänningen sakta sjunker och man kan få olika felmeddelanden. Detta löses genom att jorda belysningen, XBB PowerUnit eller annan eftermonterad utrustning i en riktigt jordpunkt i chassit och INTE direkt på bilbatteriet.
My LED-bar/ auxiliary lights is always on?
You have most likely connected the cables to the XBB PowerUnit incorrectly and confused the cable from the battery and the cable to the lighting. The positive (+) must be connected to pin 2.
Which XBB Dongle® should I get for my Tesla?
I och med att Tesla är en ren elbil behöver dom inte följa samma standard som fossildrivna bilar. Det innebär bl.a att på vissa av modellerna så finns det ett diagnosuttag (OBD2) vid förarplatsen, men datan som är tillgänglig där räcker inte till för att kunna styra din belysning via XBB Dongle. I dessa fall måste man använda ett specialkablage för att kunna koppla in XBB Dongle på en annan plats i bilen. Mer om det längre ner i svaret.
På några modeller (S & X) har man under en viss tidsperiod (2012 – 2019) rätt data i diagnosuttaget men då har Tesla istället placerat stiften för datakommunikationen (CAN-H & CAN-L) på andra stift jämfört med alla andra bilmodeller, detta innebär att man behöver en speciellt XBB Dongle som helt enkelt är anpassad för dessa modeller. Den ser ut som en vanlig XBB Dongle men är märkt med en etikett på sidan och kommer levererad i en röd/svart förpackning istället för standard XBB Dongle som levereras i en blå/svart förpackning.
I have a Tesla Model 3 / Y, according the the recipe I need a special cable? Can I buy it from you?
Yes, it is true that a special cable is needed, but it is not something we sell. The cable is for "creating" a new OBD2 connector as the one sitting by the driver's legroom does not contain the CAN-bus information needed for the XBB Dongle® to function. You can find more information about the type of cable on various Tesla forums . Some retailers also have ready kits complete with XBB Dongle & cable so take a look there.
I have a Tesla model S / X what should I consider?
Har du en Tesla model S eller X så behöver du ha en speciell Tesla Dongle, denna levereras i en röd förpackning istället för den blåa som är standard varianten. Observera att övriga Teslamodeller ska ha standardvarianten. Detta gäller modeller mellan 2012-2021.
Does my phone have to be in the car for the system to work?
No, a phone is only needed during installation and if you want to change recipes, settings or update the software.
Does the XBB Dongle® have to be in the diagnostic socket at all times?
Yes it must sit there all the time due to that it reads the car status on headlights etc. continuously and controls XBB PowerUnit®
My car has been to the workshop and after that my LED bar no longer works?
Your XBB Dongle® has been removed from the diagnostic socket by the inspector/mechanic and they forgot to put it back. They use the same socket to read out error codes etc. from the car when they inspect it, so just put the XBB Dongle® back in the socket and it works as it should again after a few seconds.
When I measure the outputs on the XBB PowerUnit®, the measuring instrument shows approx. 12 V even though the outputs are not activated?
It's supposed to be like that, it enables the XBB PowerUnit® to detect short circuit on the outputs.
I'm about to connect an XBB PowerUnit® to my car but where do I get the current / voltage from? How do I connect XBB PowerUnit® to my car?
Om det går kan man koppla direkt på bilbatteriet men på många moderna bilar har batteriet en strömbevakning, då är det viktigt att man kopplar in sig efter den och inte emellan strömbevakningen och batteripolen. Har man ett batteri med strömbevakning och kopplar in sig direkt på batteripolen kan det resultera i att batteriet dras ur när man kör med extraljuset/LED-rampen aktiverad, då bilen inte räknar med att man kopplat på mera belysning.
Vad är en BMS sensor?
I detta klipp går Kalle igenom och förklarar vad det är. Go to Youtube!
I don't know what type of headlight I have on my car?
Contact your brand workshop, they should be able to find out what type of headlight you have.
You can also try visiting https://www.car.info/ and see what kind of lighting is listed there.
I want to be able to turn off the LED bar when it is snowing or in the summer?
1. There is a wireless push button (XBB Smart Button) that can be added to the system, which can be used to switch on or off the outputs.
Remove the XBB Dongle® from the diagnostic socket, then the XBB PowerUnit is switched off. If you put the XBB Dongle® back in the socket again, everything works as it should after a few seconds, turn off the ignition before disconnecting & plugging in the XBB Dongle®.
I already have another module / gadget / thing mounted in the diagnostic socket so I can not get an XBB Dongle® there?
There is a wiring (Y-splitter) that you can put in the socket, this way you can have two modules connected at the same time. There is also an extension cable if you only need to move the XBB Dongle® a bit.
Note! We can not guarantee function together with other types of devices that are in the OBD2 socket, but this must be tested, both so that the XBB Dongle works correctly and also the other device.
After I installed XBB Dongle® several error messages appeared in my cars display.
You have probably disconnected the battery during the installation and on many modern cars that can result in many different error messages. They often disappear after a drivning for a while. If they don't disappear contact a workshop or use some kind off OBD2 device that can delete error codes.
It may also be that you have chosen a recipe that does not suit your car. Try another recipe, it is important that you follow the manual and check the status of the signal SYSTEM_ACTIVE via the app.
What does the different signals mean in the app?
Each recipe is unique to its respective car model and can therefore vary! In some recipes, there are only a few signals to choose from, while other recipes may contain significantly more signals. Below are some examples of signals that might be included in a recipe:
– HIGHBEAM: Shows a steady green light (ON) when the XBB Dongle® detects that the car's high beam is active.
– LOWBEAM: Shows a steady green light (ON) when the XBB Dongle® detects that the car's low beam is active.
– REVERSELIGHT: Shows a steady green light (ON) when the XBB Dongle® detects that the car's reverse light is active.
– IGNITION:Shows a steady green light (ON) when the XBB Dongle® detects that the car's ignition is activated.
– SYSTEM_ACTIVE: Steady green = XBB Dongle® is activated (Ignition on or equivalent signal). This signal must turn red (OFF/Sleep mode) approximately 2 minutes after the car is locked and possibly armed. If it switches between OFF/ON, it indicates that it is transitioning into Sleep mode.
– LOW_BATT:Low battery voltage detected: If it shows a steady green light (ON) or alternates between red and green, the outputs on the XBB PowerUnit® will not activate. Charge the battery or start the car to resolve the issue.
– VOLTAGE:Here, you can check the battery voltage by adjusting the slider (display output value). For example, if the value is 127, it means the battery voltage is approximately 12.7 volts.
– SYSTEM_ON: Check SYSTEM_ACTIVE to verify the system's status.
– HIGHBEAM: Shows a steady green light (ON) when the XBB Dongle® detects that the car's high beam is active.
– LOWBEAM: Shows a steady green light (ON) when the XBB Dongle® detects that the car's low beam is active.
– REVERSELIGHT: Shows a steady green light (ON) when the XBB Dongle® detects that the car's reverse light is active.
– IGNITION:Shows a steady green light (ON) when the XBB Dongle® detects that the car's ignition is activated.
– SYSTEM_ACTIVE: Steady green = XBB Dongle® is activated (Ignition on or equivalent signal). This signal must turn red (OFF/Sleep mode) approximately 2 minutes after the car is locked and possibly armed. If it switches between OFF/ON, it indicates that it is transitioning into Sleep mode.
– LOW_BATT:Low battery voltage detected: If it shows a steady green light (ON) or alternates between red and green, the outputs on the XBB PowerUnit® will not activate. Charge the battery or start the car to resolve the issue.
– VOLTAGE:Here, you can check the battery voltage by adjusting the slider (display output value). For example, if the value is 127, it means the battery voltage is approximately 12.7 volts.
– SYSTEM_ON: Check SYSTEM_ACTIVE to verify the system's status.
I have a Volvo but I'm having a hard time to insert the XBB Dongle® into the ODB2 socket?
Volvos diagnosuttag skiljer sig från övriga bilmärken vilket gör att XBB Dongle® går väldigt trögt att få i men det går. Den passar bra på alla andra bilmodeller.
Vi har under våren 2022 bytt till en annan kontakt som passar bättre i Volvos diagnosuttag så detta bekymmer är löst med XBB Dongle producerade efter 2022-05-01.
My auxiliary lights stopped working?
Try unplugging the XBB Dongle® from the diagnostic socket and plugging it back in. Also take the opportunity to update the software (Firmware) and the recipe as we are constantly working on improving it and working out bugs in the system.
How do I add an XBB Smart Button?
First you must an XBB PowerUnit® to the system after that the procedure is almost the same. In the app under the PowerUnit tab, click
button and select Add XBB Button and follow the on-screen instructions. When it is added, you go into its settings and choose what will happen when you click once or when you doubleclick.My lighting works but flashes sometimes?
Our way of designing recipes is constantly evolving and getting better and better. Try deleting your existing recipe and reinstalling it, you can also check if there is a new variant of recipe for your car.
I have heard that I need to have a CAN bus interface for my car or does it work with XBB Dongle®?
XBB Dongle® reads the CAN-bus system just like our competitors in the market. However, we have chosen to do it in a way that makes your job much easier while you do not have to make any interventions on the car's wiring and risk incorrect connections, error codes etc.

Good luck!
