Everything is working much better now. I would love to know more details about how the Cargenta Brain works. Is it supposed online all of the time the car is running or does it go online at regular intervals?

Ability to use other apps with the Cargenta Brain. I would love to be able to use OBD Fusion again.

I don’t see a way to see mileage for my trips (MPG or KPL). This was one item that I loved about my Automatic.

Today’s experience better. The Cargenta got on the Internet at 1:01pm and showed all activity for the day. It is still on the Internet but aside from Status I can’t pull up any info. The app states that the Brain is active, as opposed to off-line or asleep.

I would like to know more technical details at this point. Does the Brain talk directly to the app or does it store the data on a server and the app pulls it down from there?

Today’s update fixed the car entry problem. After the update my car showed up in Cargenta with no action from my part. Hooray. The app is getting data from the device, though the device lost contact with the Internet after 30 minutes of driving and never restored contact. But that is a device issue.

Per Cargenta, once a unit has been entered into a Cargenta app it cannot be entered again. We have to contact Cargenta to have them reset the device. Makes sense to prevent someone from being able to use your Cargenta on their phone. But not explained anywhere and a bother to reset.

Yup, I found it confusing but eventually worked through it.
