2. I cannot see the NAME of the TEP Plug on the screen devices

2.1 Solution 1 - Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled

2.2 Solution 2 - Make sure that there are no errors in the app

If some error is detected in the app, the error stripe is displayed at the top of the screen. If the error stripe is displayed, click it to see the error details. Clicking the detail will redirect you to the Settings related to the error.

 

2.3. Solution 3 - Make sure that the TEP120 plug is online

The smartphone can connect only to a TEP120 plug which is online (connected to the 12V socket). When TEP plug is online, the LED light is blinking. Once the Stardriver app is connected to the TEP120 plug, the LED light will be steady.

You may need to start the engine of your car to turn your TEP120 plug online.

 

2.4 Solution 4 - Make sure that the smartphone can see the TEP120 plug

Check whether the smartphone can see the TEP120 plug:

If the name of the TEP plug is not displayed:

  1. Disable and re-enable Bluetooth.
  2. Unplug the TEP and plug it back into the car 12V socket.

The Sony smartphones with Android 8 cannot connect to the TEP120 plug. This is a hardware issue of both devices.

3. Smartphone is not automatically reconnected to the TEP120

There might be several reasons why the TEP120 is not automatically reconnected to the TEP120:

The main requirement to establish a connection to the TEP120 is having enabled Bluetooth on your smartphone.
3.2 Solution 2 - Make sure that the smartphone is able to see the TEP120
Smartphone Bluetooth issue may cause that the app is not able to reconnect to the TEP120. If the smartphone is not able to see the TEP120, it is not able to connect to it. In order to fix this issue, you can:
  1. Disable and re-enable Bluetooth on your smartphone
