We believe the latest release broke the ethernet adapter connectivity on iPhones only, since iPads don't have this issue.

We have found a few adapters that work with the latest iOS release. Please see the links attached.

In the meantime, you can use a laptop for flashing purposes.
Will you purchase or wait?

Yes it fixed the issue. For ios15, you need to use an Apple approved adapter. That's why things started breaking.

iOS ran the update for me and now I'm totally unable to connect for flashing or logging across 3 attempted devices and different OS versions. Everything worked fine for me until the update - anyone else having problems?

Was able to flash via my dusty old windows laptop I keep around for vehicle diagnostics but the browser-based dashboard no longer works for me.

I guess i'll file a ticket with BM3 but super tired of the issues with flashing/logging at this point. Just updated to a new map but can't get anything working to log.

You'll need to get an Apple MFI certified adapter for it to work properly on iOS 15. See some posts above for what works

I'm having the same issue, still on iOS 14.8. It's pretty frustrating. ��

Edit: Tried it again this morning and it worked after trying for 30 mins last night. ��

Second Edit: iPhone X running iOS 14.8 didn't work last night, worked this morning....

Received one of the adapters supposed to work on iOS15 and yes it does on my iPhone 13, kind of works, I can get a connection if I turn the ignition on, never had to do that in the past... and it seems to drop out after a while...

however now my iPhone X running iOS 14.8 that I've been using for flashing and datalogging won't connect at all....

I'm really reluctant to flash anything at the moment and really wishing I didn't update the app last night, anyone know how to install the previous version of BM3?

Anyone else having similar issues?

So which lighting cable to Ethernet do you guys recommend ?

Would it be better to get a Bluetooth adapter ? Does that solve the issue

Yes, BT adapter is best. Works wireless for most phone-flash needs, and you can still plug in an Ethernet cord to use your laptop

I JUST got my 'approved' adapter in the mail today and it all works for me fine now. Thanks hellokitty because it totally worked for me.

I'm on iOS15 on a 12 mini. Charging up my 14.8 device now that I use for logging and hopefully this works too.

Yes works great for me too. Looks like bm3 pushed out a new update too for some additional connectivity updates which is great!

I use this $20 Lightning to Ethernet generic adaptor and it works perfectly on my iOS 15 iPhone 13:

https://www.centralcomputer.com/ligh...a-adapter.html

I made the OBD-to-Ethernet cable part myself (just needs an old OBD2 plug, a 510 ohm resistor, an old Ethernet patch cable, and a soldering iron).

Thanks!

I was doing my pre-track checklist which includes checking my codes. Spent a good 30 minutes pulling my hair last night trying to understand why my enet adapter wasnt working.

Kinda shit and normal for apple to do this... Might wait out a few apple patches and see if it is resolved.

I have had bad luck with the other ways of connecting. Enet adapter always worked 100% of time. Thought my cables or car were acting up.

For reference, this is the adapter i have. Does NOT currently work due the apple patch.

Quick followup. I just updated my phone to 15.2.
My enet adapter is now working as intended. Seems it was fixed.
