Starting with iOS 11.4.1, if you use USB accessories with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or if you connect your device to a Mac or PC, you might need to unlock your device for it to recognize and use the accessory. Your accessory then remains connected, even if your device is subsequently locked.
If you don’t first unlock your password-protected iOS device—or you haven’t unlocked and connected it to a USB accessory within the past hour—your iOS device won’t communicate with the accessory or computer, and in some cases, it might not charge. You might also see an alert asking you to unlock your device to use accessories.
With OBD capable S2USB485 devices (devices purchased after July 1, 2008), N2 Bus voltages are measured and displayed. Voltages that are out of range are indicated and possible faults are given. Ver 1.1.9 Adds S2USB485 Driver Testing; Ver 1.4.3 and.4 (current version) adds reporting capability for documentation purposes. S Squared Innovations Inc. 6807-104 Street Edmonton, AB, T6H 2L5. Ph: 1-780-944-1415.
If the USB accessory is still not recognized after you unlock your device, disconnect your device from the accessory, unlock your device, and then reconnect the accessory.
Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch charges as usual when it’s connected to a USB power adapter.

Allow access to USB accessories
You can allow your iOS device to always access USB accessories, for example, if you use a USB assistive device to enter your passcode on your locked iPhone. Many assistive devices will automatically turn on the setting to allow USB devices the first time they’re connected.
