ALDL Droid '91 ZR-1 with BFXBG chip - CHECKSUM MISMATCH

[MuRCieLaGo]

Hello guys,

Just received my ALDL module from 1320 Electronics. I can't read data because I get the "CHECKSUM MISMATCH" error. Is it something to do with Marc Haibeck's chip?

I'm using the provided LT5 adx file.

I had a similar issue when I unboxed mine last year. I contacted John Wales from 1320electronics and he was able to get me new software versions for the tool and get me up and running. Very helpful.

Sounds like you are using the wrong .adx

I do also seem to remember needing an updated .adx as well.

Not to be picky, but the .adx doesn't get updated. Its a matter of using the correct one for the aldl datastream in ur car. The OEMs don't change that once the programming is done for that powertrain. Not trying to be a smarta**, just want to clarify the difference.

I also had the issue you described with my Samsung S4 phone. Problem occurred every few seconds intermittently and I would get a bogus set of data in the middle of a log. After checking all my settings including talking with John at 1320 and Sebastien at ALDLdroid I never did find a solution.

Then for the heck of it I tried it on my Dell Android Tablet and it worked perfectly first time with no other changes.

I have issues with my Nexus 6p phone, but it works great with my first gen Nexus 7 tablet.

Pretty much the same problem here!

Jeff from the forum here was nice enough to send me his "updated" adx file via email. However, I've got the same issue than before.

Works almost perfectly the first 4 seconds, then I get a bunch of checksum mismatches and the app becomes kind of crazy.

Using Samsung Galaxy S7...

I already contacted John Wales last year about the issue, I really feel like he did his best (what an awesome service). He sent me a couple of adx files, without success.

Sébastien Giroux (creator of ALDLdroid) couldn't really help me he said.

I use a $70 ASUS tablet and it works great. Sometimes I will need to restart the app but then it works rather flawlessly. I recently worked w Ccmano on tuning his LT5 remotely and Hans used ALDLdroid very consistently.

I’m running it on a $49 Amazon Fire7 tablet. Works great. I do find sometimes I have turn the Bluetooth adapter on and off a few times or reboot the APP to get rid of the checksum errors.
