I recently bought a 2019 Leaf SL Plus. It had ~16K miles on it and, after reading some in this forum and other places, I was concerned about the health of the battery so, before the money back warranty on the transaction expired, I bought a LELink^2 Bluetooth OBD dongle and LeafSpy Pro.
My SOH was 91.55% which I think was good enough but I'm fighting with the way LeafSpy Pro interfaces with my dongle as I'd like to collect data over time .
I have a Pixel 6 Pro and when I try to pair with the dongle, they never pair -- Bluetooth config "sees" device but no pair challenge or option to pair. As long as I it's visible to Android (attempting to pair), LeafSpy seems to be able to get readings. When I leave and get back in the car, I have to go through the same lame process (attempt to pair, restart LeafSpy app) to be able to get LeafSpy connected to the OBD dongle.
I presume this is a problem with the dongle (has same problem with apps other than LeafSpy).
So my questions:

So my questions:
- Does anyone else either have this problem with this dongle using Android or have this dongle that will reliably pair?
- Is there a different OBD dongle that works better (e.g. pairs so it's remembered) with Android and LeafSpy Pro?
