Have any of you used ABRP with a physical BT OBD dongle? How much better does ABRP work with a direct connection to the vehicle data? Very interested to hear about your experiences.

I have the OBDlink CX, and ABRP premium. It does a decent job of predicting my arrival battery percentage. The times it’s been off is when the day is warming substantially. Most other times it starts off a few percents pessimistic, and updates as I drive. It is more accurate than before I had the OBD dongle.

Over the holidays, when it was very cold, and very windy, it was still very accurate to help me plan my charging stops.

Be careful not to use the version of ABRP that links to your truck using your FordPass credentials. It could lock you out as it authorizes SmartCar to tap into and monitor your truck. There's a thread on that.

I tried ABRP with an OBDII BT dongle and found it wasn't very useful.

Thanks

Thanks, I needed to hear that.
