OBDII Impossible to connect with VW Polo

Post by AndrewvdM »

Can anyone tell me why it is so damn impossible to find an Android app that will connect with a 2010 Polo?!
I have a VGate iCar Pro OBDII Bluetooth adapter that claims to support all OBDII protocols and it connects fine with the RAV4 and also managed to connect with the Zafira, and I have tested it on some other cars. I have tried just about every OBD app in the play store but had no success with the Polo. The apps connect with the VGate but fail to connect with the Polo's computer.

The other frustrating thing about the Polo is that I can't get an engine trouble code off it. Other cars I've had would produce a trouble code if I gave it the right secret handshake with the pedals and the key or odometer buttons but this one just gives me a blunt Inspect engine warning. It's like someone phones you up at work and says they have a complaint but won't say what it is! Does anyone know how to do this on an old Polo? 🙏
