PLX Kiwi Wifi II doesn't power on

Anyone else have issues w/ this piece of **** device? When I can get the device powered on, I have to wait 2-3 mins for it to broadcast it's SSID.

I got it for reading and clearing codes and now, it doesn't even power on. I've tried holding down the standby button and unplugging and replugging 1,000,000 times.

Default PLX Kiwi Wifi never worked for me

Hi - I bought the PLX Kiwi Wifi a few years ago - it finds a connection (using DashCommand) but I've never been able to get a reading of anything.

What device are you trying to connect to the PLX ?

Isn't that just called "a phone" ?

But i know some devices are Apple / Android specific. I'd check the manufacturer webpage for specs.

I have the BT version and use torque on android. No issues at all. Syncs right up within ~10 seconds of opening torque.

Iphone ftw

How long did it take you to replug it 1,000,000 times?
