🔧 Troubleshooting Connectivity for the DIMO AutoPi 

If your data isn’t being updated, try these steps to troubleshoot your AutoPi device’s connectivity: 

Step 1: Check your app 

After logging in, tap the Rewards button on the bottom menu, and check if the vehicle is labeled “Qualified.” 

Step 2: Check your cable 

Make sure the device is firmly connected. If you're using an extension cable, check both the connection to the device and to the OBD2 port. 

Step 3: Power cycle your device 

Unplug your device and plug it back in. This quick reset is often enough to fix the issue. 

Step 4: Check your device’s lights 

When starting your car, look for the blue and green lights—they may take 1–2 minutes to light up after the car starts. 

Step 5: Go for a drive 

After your next drive, check the vehicle qualification status again in the app.


🔧 Troubleshooting Connectivity for the DIMO Macaron 

We know connectivity issues can be frustrating—here’s how to get your DIMO Macaron back on track. 

The DIMO Macaron uses Helium network coverage to send data. If it can’t reach a Helium hotspot, it won’t be able to update your vehicle’s data. 

Step 1: Check Helium coverage 

Visit https://world.helium.com/en/iot/hotspots. Green hexagons indicate coverage. Make sure you’re regularly driving within one of those zones. 

Step 2: Power and placement 

Ensure the device lights are on when the vehicle is powered. If your car battery is low, it can put the device into sleep mode

Step 3: Reset the device 

Unplug the Macaron for a full minute, then plug it back in while the vehicle is on and within Helium coverage. 

Step 4: Go for a drive 

After your next drive, in the DIMO app, tap the Rewards tab. If your car shows “Qualified”, you're connected, minted, and on track for rewards the following Monday.
