Clarify this if you would.

Your phone can/cannot connect to the OBD BT connector?

In either case, it seems clear that your radio cannot connect.

I connected my cheap a$$ OBD connector (not that yours is cheap, but mine was) to my phone a few years ago. But I was worried if the new android radio would see it. Here's my experience:

I used an OBD extension cable on the 1st couple of attempts. They failed, but I am not sure it was the OBD connector. I needed to eliminate the extension cable as a problem, so I removed it and started anew. Since most folks here probably wont have an extension, maybe this'll help:

The most important observation I made was early- and seemingly insignificant until this post.

The cheapo OBD unit takes a minute to fire up. Now, I dunno if that's my BT OBD connector or just the OBD stuff booting up (or whatever).
This is important if you're like most of us who are in the world of 'right the hell now,' we forgot about modem negotiations, protocols and the like. We wanty and we wanty NOW!

I especially expect thing to be WAY better in Windows 10 than 3, Vista, 7,or 8.
So my experience was that I had to plug, unplug, fiddle, faddle, for a few times.. and the cheap BT OBD2 connector I have doesn't link to the radio (or anything) for a 1/2 minute or so at boot.

After the OBD connector got a minute to find its footing, I could connect. The lights on my BT OBD connector came alive and danced like a 90's car show. You may have done all of this, but it was new to me this weekend.
