I ask if it is possible and how to change the bluetooth password because the default password "1234" is too weak.

The device is equipped with automatic sleep mode after 30 minutes from the vehicle shutdown, but during those 30 minutes an attacker could easily connect from outside the car to the vgate. This is a serious security risk.

Sorry, the Bluetooth module can't modify the pairing code, the device sleep time is 15 minutes, you can modify the Bluetooth sleep time to 5 minutes, if you need, please contact support@vgate.com.cn

Changing the PIN would be ideal, but without Vgate stepping up, you’re left with workarounds. Unplugging’s your safest bet—don’t give that 30-minute window to anyone with a phone and "1234" up their sleeve. If you crack the firmware tweak, share it—that’d be a game-changer!
that's not my neighbor

Not only a sleep issue, but the car owner next door may also accidentally connect to Bluetooth during daily driving. Because the password is too simple.Have you solved it now?

please share with me how to modify Bluetooth sleep time! Sprunki Retake

Yes, it is possible to change the default Bluetooth password from "1234" for better security, but it depends on the specific model of your Vgate device. Some versions of Vgate adapters do not support password changes directly, while others allow it via AT commands or dedicated apps.

If your device supports AT commands, you can try connecting it via a terminal app (like Serial Bluetooth Terminal) and send this command:

AT+PSWD=XXXX

Replace XXXX with your new desired password. Always make sure to consult the manual or support documentation for your specific adapter model before making changes.
