ini failed

That's the correct adapter. It should work with your car.
Have you tried the latest version 1.4 app? Or the PC software?

It works for me. Thank you!

Is anyone using the BuyOBD.com Nisbie Bluetooth adaptor?

With ignition on only or with the car running, I get this "Ini failed" failed connection.

The units are air paired so I'm not 100% if it's the bluetooth unit or software...

My adaptor is the same as listed on BuyOBD, I had the same problem with "ini failed".

I just purchased Consult 14 Pin DDL Interface + OTG Micro USB Adapter for Nissan DataScan I Android from the following link.

http://www.obdinnovations.com/consult-1 ... uctReviews

I tried to hook up the cable to my 1998 Maxima (Fed Spec) vehicle. When I hook up the cable and device I get a message that says:

Connected to FT232B - then the Status indicates Ini failed.

I've been a NDS1 user for many years in the past on my Windows NT computer with my good old ECUTalk cable.

Is the NDS1 Android software not capable of communicating with a 1998 Maxima. I also have a 1999 Maxima that I can try. However, with the 99 model and NDS1, I have to change the connection string option and check a 96 zcar box -- it takes some changes to usually work on a 99 model.

What should I do when I get the Ini failed message.

I'm using a new Android Moto G4 with the Marshmallow Android OS.

There is a red lignt on the connector and a green light that flashes from time to time when the unit is not plugged into the vehicle.

UPDATE: NDS1 (Lite) for Android actually works on my 1991 Q45 using my ECUTalk cable. I cannot get the 14 pin ddl interface adapter that I purchased from OBD Innovations to fit into the tight space where the 14 pin consult port is located on the Q45.

CONCLUSION: NDS1 for Andriod works on a 1991 Q45 but NOT on a 1998 or 1999 Maxima. The ECUTalk cable fits better and mates up with the 14 pin consult port than the adapter from OBD Innovations on all cars. I cannot use the OBD Innovation adapter on the Q45.

What do you mean by "I have to change the connection string option"? What changes do you usually make?

[OwnerCS]

To get NDS1 (PC version) to work with my 99 A32s (I have two) I had to override ECU connection ID to ED from EF then selected the 96 Z car option. This is actually documented in a PDF about NDS1 and the 99 model A32 -- somewhere. Once I found that document and made the change, then I was able to use NDS1 PC version with the 99 model. That was a few years ago. There may be some underlying difference there that the Android version needs allow an override or if it can detect that it is connecting to a 99 model and make the switch internally.

Also, I have a 98 model. Yep, I actually have three A32s. The Android version produces the Ini Failed message, just like the 99 model. So it looks like the A32 just isn't recognized by the Android version. I do not expect to make any connection ID overrides for the 98 model if I attempt to use NDS1 PC for that year model.

I have connected NDS1 (PC) version to a 97 model A32 without issue as I recall. The regular connection ID worked and I didn't need to override anything for the 97 model.

Are the Z-car (96 model) people having any issues with the Android version?

Do you need me to send you a debug or trace log file from the Android so you can see what is being returned by the ECU on an A32 connection request? Since I have both 98 and 99 models, I think we can resolve any differences and provide a product that works for all A32 years 95-99.

UPDATE: Another forum member confirmed the Connection ID needs to be changed from ED to EF and the 96 Z-car option needs to be checked for NDS1 to work on either a 98 or 99 model A32.

The Android software needs a preference option to make the Connection ID chance along with the 96 z-car option for the product to work on a Nissan Maxima, Infiniti I30, Nissan Cefiro (a.k.a A32).

How is anybody with a Z32 able to use this product?

OK.Thanks for the info. We will look into implementing ECU Id option in NDSI Android app.

Hey Tom - Any progress on providing the ECU ID option for Android?
