Have the same issue. Scanning for codes seems to fix it. If you find a solution, please let us know!

@ OP: Thanks for the DIY guide. Installed mine just like you did and it works great!

I just flashed a map revision yesterday (reduced my cold start idle speed) with my wifi agent and the new firmware is very quick in flashing a new map. bm3 just gets better and better.

Anybody else having issues with the 'Download now and flash later' option? My agent works fine; it connects, logs, diagnose/reads codes and is fine with a regular flash but just doesn't like it when I try to download, it just gets stuck and crashes the app on my iphone. Mind you, if I do the regular flash, it would download fine and then under My Maps, it shows downloaded in green. Works perfectly otherwise.

iphone 6 plus, kinda old but gets the job done and with the current selections/new features, I'm not urged to upgrade.

You think it's the phone? Maybe I'll try another.

Yep, didn't know if they were going to make an announcement. I didn't want to steal their thunder. Mine still pauses for a fraction of a second, but Dzenan said it does not affect logs. My data logs looked clean.

Their customer service has been spectacular! Very quick responses.

Thanks for the post! I only found out from a youtube video that you need to connect your phone via a cable to the RPi device as well. The OP never specifically says that.

Because you don't have to. You can, but hotspot works too.

Looks like I just got version 10.35, can you confirm?

It's certainly the way to go for flashing.

Thanks for the write-up Jared. Got my OBD agent up and running today with no issues at all. Definitely worth it as I don't need to lug my laptop around anymore

As your documentation points out a properly functioning 12v socket can actually range from 9v to 16v and be called a 12v socket. Thus a 12v categorized device matches up with a 12v categorized supply socket. This is not to say if the voltages are above or below exactly 12v they brick. This is just a standard for us to know what it is safe and intended to match up with. And a 12v adapter that is made to USB standard is designed to take the range of 12v from the socket and supply it's USB outlets with the nominal 5v. That being said, current is the more important factor in damaging electronics than voltage is. Its luring to think voltage damages a device, and it kind of does, but in the end voltage only encourages the current flow which is always what actually causes the damage. Current is the electron flow, and only that flow does the work whether its functioning or damaging work. So simply speaking, all damage in a circuit is caused by current.

In the end we should be safe to assume a 12v rated device, plugged into a 12v rated supply are made to work together, therefore should not be able to overload or overdraw and cause damage. Does it happen yes, by why worry so much especially since these Pi boards are under $30. We're not talking about a $3,000 electronics board. Our car also circuit fuses designed to fail if an improper current is flowing through the line. So IMO it's safest to a cheap 12v device into a protected 12v source. That way if the cheaply made device is out of spec or standard and over or under draws it will simply blow a fuse or fry itself. At least that's my take on the Pi and plugging it in. When I get around to it, I'm tapping a 12v socket into the 12v socket line under the dash center. I'll report back if sparks fly
Precisely. That's my fault for assuming I would be understood.

My current setup is a 12v cigarette socket adapter (the one under the dashboard) that outputs 5v to two (2) USB Micro B cables that run immediately under the radio/A/C controls. One comes out on the opposite side of the trim to charge the tablet while the other stays within the trim and goes to panel below the steering wheel. There I have my Pi plugged into power and also the OBD2 port.

There are boards to convert 12v to 5v that you could slap on top of the Pi as well.
Can you show pics of your set up and where you're running everything?
