I should have specified that it’s an R90 (my car is a Zoé ZE40 Intens 2017). Regards Steve

I ordered the one you suggested in your link above – it’s orange and not green but i’m not sure if that makes any difference 🙂 ! It worked straight out of the box. There are a few strange values but I’ll check all that over the coming few days. It was a lot cheaper to buy from Amazon.de which when including about €5 of postage, it was still only €22, a long way from the bandit on Amazon.fr Marketplace (I live in France) who wanted €38 for it! Also the Konnwei dongle he proposed (orange) didn’t have the same reference n° and they insisted that it was V2 and not N1.5 as you all recommend. My car is a Zoé ZE40 Intens 2017. Regards Steve

This one comes cheaper… the link above links to a Dongle costing 320 Euros!!

You find the same in green at 17 Euros here:

In reply to ZoeDoktor. This is great news, can you share a link to the Dongle you bought please? The one I purchased over a year ago never worked. Thanks in advance - Jim

VERY GOOD NEWS: Dongle Problems SOLVED!
It were not the Dongles…
After 6 months of testing, including an Arduino Due, the culprit was found: Android hardware. My smartphone was to weak:
The HUAWEI Ascend Y330 is the reason. Avoid it at all costs for running CanZE.

Both Konweii dongles I ordered worked today with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A6.

any solution to the still persistent Konweii Dongle malfunction?
Since then opened mine, and additionally measured resistance.

All OK, still the old-built-system, but does not function (see my comment above)

In reply to Jim.

If it were a resistor problem, the car would make an unhappy bling-bling and display some errors on the dashboard. So that’s not the case.

Is the dongle WiFi or Bluetooth. If Bluetooth, you won’t get something on your iPhone, cause this one needs a WiFi dongle.

Hi Guys I’ve plucked up the courage to try my Konnwei dongle today (it’s green) and I’ve had it for several months now.

I can’t get my phone to find it on wifi or blue tooth. The power light is on and the ODB and Host lights flash at power up, but I guess that is just part of power on self test.

Could this be related to the resistor problem?

Any help much appreciated. My Zoe (is now) 3rd hand. Judging by the many dinks and dents she hasn’t been loved. Best indicated range we get is around 77 miles. She is a 2013 model.

I was hoping to use CanZE to help me learn a bit more.

Thanks in advance

I just tested today the second Konnwei I ordered, this time a “Green” version. Same results.
Adapter works, connects with Android and even Windows via Bluetooth fine.
But .. same results.
Most specific Error message is : “Cannot connect to the ECU of the car”, according torque software.
No data and negative ELM test in CanZE.

However at the same time my Icarsoft i907 works fine, reads a load of data out of my ZOE Can bus.
What is going on? … Spent around 7 hours trying all protocolls in the Torque software.
Same result as with my already sent-back first Konnwei 902.

Any idea?
