Hi,
Just plugged in Bluetooth ELM Obd device to my Croma, downloaded android app to read ECU data, tried to connect app with device and start the engine, cannot turn the key in ignition and info on dashboard said Check your vehicle protection system, now ignition is dead, cannot even use remote controller to lock/unlock doors.
Anyone came across anything like that before, is there simple solution?
Thanks
Update :
Just tried emergency key release hole right under the ignition, now I can turn key, but car is unresponsive.
After reading related threads In have decided to have a look at the battery, found out it's only 60Ah, that could be the reason for my alarm problems, I change battery for more powerful to handle the load of alarm system etc.
After unplugging Bluetooth obd reader from Croma, car starts as normal.
Now, could obd reader drain battery power this much to operate that I can't start the engine?
