    Hi there, randomly bleeping nothing wrong? Well I would unplug the sensor it self, clean it with alcohol, plugs and everything, still randomly bleeping just replace it, about 25 euros on eBay. Hope this helps. BMW probably tested it out, it was working that moment and said everything is fine with out further investigation, it happens all the time.

    Lets say the engine light appeared in the dashboard..so once you cleared it in the app,the engine light will also disappear from the dash board?

  • @GianniHow
    @GianniHow4 ай бұрын

    Yes sir, the light will disappear, keep in mind if the problem persist, the light will pop up again after car auto-check, some time just needs clearing the codes, some time car need actual fix. So if the light pop up again, consider to give some attention, reading codes it can help to isolate the problem, just run the code on google it will tell you where the problem is. Hope this helps

    Hello, I can understand how this can be upsetting, so I would personally try to understand where the problem began, it can be the phone or the veepeak device, so try, with the phone, to connect to other devices and make sure it works, devices like Bluetooth speaker, headset or anything else u have available, make sure u can control it with Bluetooth, second thing I would try to use the same app on a different device/phone, at this point if it still doesn’t work U know it’s the veepeak device and this is unlikely to happen, ar this point if the problem persist I would still try to download a free to use app such as carscanner and try to connect to the veepeak device, if the problem still there u can definitely ask for a repair or replacement as the device won’t connect to anything. I genuinely believe the phone is the problem, unfortunately on android the app may not work properly. I hope this helps, if you can let me know if you sort it out it would be great. Thanks a lot and keep on watching XD
