Troubleshooting

1) I cannot pair the vsNEW Bluetooth device with my iOS device – what’s going on?

Our device does not require pairing or any other configuration process. Just plug the device into your vehicle and click connect on the vehicle selection screen. The app handles all pairing / handshaking / connecting automatically.

2) I don't see the Connect button even with the device plugged in.

First, confirm the permissions - Location, Bluetooth, Camera, and Cellular Data should be allowed. Click on Settings, scroll down to vsNew and select it. Here is what you should see -

iPhone Settings vsNEW

Once you have checked your permissions, Please reset the app by closing it, turning Bluetooth off then on, and restarting the app and logging in again. Hint - if you aren't logging into the app once again, that means you are just minimizing the app and not actually closing it.

3) I ran a report but it says "Alert - Incomplete Report"

Alert - Incomplete Report

For some vehicles, we require a minimum 50% State of Charge to run a complete test. In our analysis on the risk of premature failure due to cell imbalance, we evaluate the individual cell voltage values. At lower charge levels, the difference between cell voltages is muted, so it becomes more difficult to differentiate between a normal fluctuation and a persistent issue.
