Got a Veepeak BLE+ and plugged it into my 2023 Tacoma. (TRD-Off Road, and Canada, if it makes a difference).

OBD pairs with Sidecar. It can read the VIN, but nothing else is readable.

Created a post as per instructions - thanks for your help!

Whoo! Let's get this onboarding started Now that you've connected, can you send me an export of your OBD logs and I'll try to see why no parameters are loading: https://sidecar.clutch.engineering/help ... -scan-logs

Logs seem to indicate the car should be talking back to us but we're getting back NO DATA responses. This can be for a few reasons, so we'll need to do a few terminal session tests to see what's up.

First up: make sure your engine is running when you try to scan your car.

Then connect Sidecar to your scanner and, in a new Terminal session (Settings > Your scanners > tap your scanner > Terminal), please run the following and share the resulting output either here as screenshots or as an OBD log export via email. Each of the following command sequences should be ran in a clean terminal session (leave the terminal and go back to restart a new session).

Do we need to try different ECUs?

ATSH7E0
010D
ATSH7E1
010D

Maybe the vehicle doesn't want to talk in protocol 6?

ATZ
ATSP0
ATDPN

And then keep running ATDPN until it returns a number.

While you're running the above I'll look around the internet to see if others have figured out how to talk to the Tacoma.

A few parameters we can try out. Run the following in another terminal session and let's see what we get back:

ATSH701
221627
221628

Sent you the logs via email! Thanks!

Looks like the car's still not responding with anything meaningful, so let's try talking in a more general way. Please run the following in a new terminal session and then send the OBD logs over again:

010D
ATSH7DF
010D
ATSH701
221627
221628

Perfect! That confirms my theory and gives us a couple other PIDs to play with. Documenting the results in https://github.com/OBDb/Toyota-Tacoma/issues/6

I've merged in two extended parameters in SHA: b01a185, though they're both related to the transmission and don't surface new Connectables.

@jasonmc99 please update to the latest parameters (https://sidecar.clutch.engineering/help ... parameters) and then check Engine parameters to see if these values populate as expected.
