Step 3
Optionally pair your Adapter.
The App is designed to automatically detect the Adapter and connect to it but if you are having
difficulties connecting the Adapter you can try manually pairing it first.
Note that for Apple devices there is no pairing and you will not see the Adapter under Bluetooth
settings until after the App connects to it.
Pairing the Adapter is different between the two types of Adapters - Bluetooth Classic and
Bluetooth Low Energy. You can tell them apart by looking at the circuit board through the opaque
cap on the Adapter. Bluetooth Classic will have a rectangular chip on the circuit board and
Bluetooth Low Energy will have a square chip.
For Bluetooth Classic Adapters, pairing can be accomplished on Android and Windows 10
platforms. To pair a Bluetooth Classic Adapter follow these steps:
1. Go to your device's Bluetooth Settings
2. Ensure Bluetooth is turned on.
3. Refresh, Search, or Add Devices. Note, on Windows 10 it will take a significant amount of
time to find the Adapter.
4. Select 'BlueFire' under Paired Devices.
5. Wait for pairing to finish.
For Bluetooth Low Energy Adapter, only Windows 10 offers manually pairing. Follow the same
steps as above. The only difference is that adding the device is faster and the Adapter name is
'BlueFire LE'.
Note, for Android devices you may see 'BlueFire LE' in the available devices list but pairing will
either generate an error or will do nothing.
Step 4
Connect the App to the Adapter.
Turn your ignition off (you'll turn it on later).
Open the App and tap the Connect icon on the Home page. The App will initiate a connection to
the adapter and if successful, the adapter's LEDs will start blinking green.
If the App does not connect to the adapter, try the following:
Ensure the adapter is blinking blue.
Ensure you have Bluetooth turned on in your mobile device.
