Yeah between you sending ATSP7 and sending the VIN command it's about 10 seconds, which might be enough time for the scanner to settle into the new protocol.

[sidbmw]

Gotcha. Is there another build on the way? I can test it out in a few mins

[jeff]

Build inbound.

[jeff]

I've implemented a protocol check loop that gives the scanner 1 second to settle into a chosen protocol before attempting to send the vin. Might need to increase the timeout but we'll see.

[sidbmw]

Sounds good

[sidbmw]

Do you plan on adding a manual override for the protocol? Something user selectable so it’s not a trial and error loop

[jeff]

The fundamental design principal of Sidecar is to create a net reduction of "actions taken" when it comes to using the product and interacting with the car, so my primary goal is to make the app work without requiring configuration. I will consider adding an override at some point but only once it's become clear that there isn't a reasonable alternative heuristic that can get the same thing accomplished automatically. E.g. some cars just straight up don't report their VINs, which is why I had to build in the fallback VIN behavior for the scanner.

Sidecar/v1.16.3-181 is out — hopefully a step in the right direction!

Going to take the kiddo go kart racing in about 10 minutes, will be back online later today

Hmm still not seeing a difference. Gave it a good 30s wait. Tried reopening app and whatnot
