K+Dcan cables not working

I bought a cable from bimmergeeks a month ago and when i tried using it, the red light flashes for a second when i inserted in, goes off and mhd app is saying no cable connected. No biggie, bad cable, right? I emailed them, pretty quickly i got a second cable, then a third, then a forth, all of them with the same problem. Bimmergeeks assured me the 4th cable works, but nope i still get the same problem. Now my question, do i really have the worst luck possible and got 4 faulty cables in a row, or there is another problem with my car/phone. Other scanners work no problem and the car used to have a jb4 untill a couple of months ago, everything worked. I'm using a galaxy s8+ and a usb-c adapter.

Then K+D CAN cables run off the OBDII power. make sure you have power on pins +12V on pin 16 and Ground on pins 4 and 5. They are 2 separate grounds so check both.

Nick, did you ever find out how to fix this? I am currently having the EXACT same issue with tuning my M235i. On the second cable currently and it's bimmergeeks.
