Can anyone recommend a Bluetooth dongle to monitor what's going on with the DPF? Not bothered about any other fancy functions or a subscription. Going to run the VAG DPF app constantly so I know when the van is doing a regen so I don’t interrupt it. Hopefully can also connect to Head unit with android auto so don't have to have the phone app open. Anyone any advice? Keep things simple im not the best with technology!!

Nice one thanks I'll try this , but would still like the option of monitoring the DPF to see what's going on
I agree, it is a pain in the neck having to keep refreshing, wonder if there is a better option?

DPF Regen, Yellow light & AdBlue - Whats it all about? -
The DFP light is becoming a more apparent issue with modern diesel vans, unfortunately, it’s a fact of modern diesel life.
what is a DPF?
Diesel particulate filters (DPF) are very effective in cutting emissions, trapping even the finest soot particles produced as the engine burns diesel fuel.
Their lifespan is dependent on factors such as fuel quality, driving style, use and oil consumption. The filter uses a catalytic coating containing precious metals. Passive regeneration converts the particulate matter...

Refreshing - really???? Android or iPhone app? Which dongle? Which engine? Which engine group in the app?
The MS Control unit is stand alone, no phone or app. Just stays plugged into the OBD port.
Can have optional LED on a cable, position where you want.
Beeps and LED flash at start of regen a different signal at end of regen.
Push button at anytime for how many grams of soot accumulated, indicated by number of beeps.

Using a Carista. With the VAGDPF app (on android as there isn't an iPhone version of the app). When connected to the Carista using the VAG DPF app the soot level doesn't change unless you tap 'refresh' its a bit of a pain as the phone also doesn't stay awake.
Edit: I think I have just found a iPhone app:

Perhaps mine is a different Android app then?
Have you ticked something like "Automatic data connection..." in the Settings?
