Vgate iCar Pro Wi-Fi

The adapter Obdaryn is developed with. ELM327-compatible (v2.3), it makes its own Wi-Fi network, “V-LINK”, and speaks every OBD-II protocol, CAN included. Obdaryn's connection settings are its defaults, so it connects without changing anything.

Opening it the first time

Obdaryn isn't notarized by Apple yet, so macOS asks you to confirm once.

  1. Open the downloaded file and drag Obdaryn to Applications.
  2. Open Obdaryn. macOS says it can't check the app for malicious software. Click Done.
  3. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security. Under Security, next to “Obdaryn was blocked”, click Open Anyway, then confirm with your password.
  4. When you connect for the first time, allow Obdaryn to find devices on your local network. That's how it reaches the adapter.

Why the warning?

Apple only notarizes apps from members of its paid developer programme. Obdaryn isn't notarized yet. Its source code is public: you can read it, or build the app yourself. Build it from source
