As I have said in my last few xDrip+ posts, the best way to use the G6 with xDrip+ is to use the connection wizard. This is what the xDrip+ developer has said on Gitter

> Hi, does anyone know if I can use g6 transmitter/sensors directly with xdrip+ without the official dexcom app or receiver? I've seen that the the transmitter won't start without the official app or receiver.

Ideally long press the xDrip drop icon on the app home screen and enable the source wizard and select G6. That will ensure you have all the standard settings
