OBDeleven OBD2 Diagnostic Code Reader scan Tool, Bluetooth Scanner for Audi Seat Cupra Skoda Volkswagen (Android & iOS, Next Gen Pro Pack)

I had an intermittent check engine light, and a residual airbag light after changing the clock spring last year. I was quickly able to identify the CEL is likely a bad gas cap, and get that ordered. I was able to then clear both the CEL and the airbag light. I'm not sure that I needed the 'pro' version, but I know I still saved money over taking it to a shop.

This device is absolutely necessary if you want to save yourself money in diagnosing and fixing problems. For example, I wanted to upgrade my car's battery from a regular one to an AGM battery which requires clearing out codes and adapting the new battery to the electrical system. If you do this at a VW dealer, it will cost you nearly $500 (with battery). I bought the battery for $175 and did all the electrical stuff with this OBDeleven product.Here's what I like about it:1. The app (you have to download it for iOS or Android) is easy to use and very modern. Whoever is behind it keeps it up-to-date.2. The scanner syncs with the app quickly and easily. If you have ever connected AirPods to your iPhone, it's about that easy.3. It reads all of the codes and gives you a description of what they are. And they provide links to get more information if you need it.4. It's easy to clear all of the outstanding codes (and there's a lot of them when you switch batteries).5. The scanner is small and compact, and you can hide it in your glovebox.6. It's just fun to use.Remember this device only works with Volkswagen Auto Group cars, which I believe includes VW, Audi, Porsche, and a few other brands in the USA.

I ordered the OBDELEVEN for one simple task - to turn off the seatbelt warning in my new Audi car. While I was able to connect and view my settings, when I tried to change one I would get an error that "something went wrong - try again later". After attempting to change the setting several times without success I gave up. When driving the car later that day a lot of warnings started to appear about various systems not working. I tried to use OBDEleven to clear these warnings but it would not clear them. I contacted OBDEleven support and sent them a picture of my dashboard and their response was they couldn't find anything on the internet related to my problem. My car is telling me not to drive it and to take it to a dealer to have it diagnosed. I believe something happened with the device that caused these errors in my car. OBDEleven support was useless and the device caused a major inconvenience for me. I would stay away from this product.

This is a very powerful, capable tool in the hands of someone who knows how to code modules. This is still a very useful tool for those less familiar with coding, and the credits make that easy too.For starters, you do need an account. When you first connect the dongle to your phone, the pro account automatically unlocks, no need to look for a code to redeem or anything else.You do NOT need to use the in-app "one click apps" (read: spend more money for convenience) to code things; if you feel comfortable enough coding the modules on your own, all you need is the pro account or higher. There are tons of guides for VW/Audi online that walk you through how to code various features, and I'm sure guides exist for other makes of vehicle.I did experience a few occasions where the dongle seemed to time out and didn't respond for several minutes, or modules did not accept certain long coding. All I did was shut the car off, let it completely power down (open and close driver door, lock doors) and then try again which fixed it every time. Do note that some coding requires the hood to be open, so pay close attention to directions.Hope this helps eliminate some confusion!

Cool little tool for live data, maintenance, code diagnostics, and customization, but the credit price and membership stuff is a bit much. Doesn't do anything for ecu or dsg tuning so if thats what your after an accessport or the like might be a better a choice. The 1 click descriptions could be better as you will likely waste credits on some things. There are now two different apps and could be a little confusing at times. This will drain car battery if left in obd port overnight. Over all pretty handy little gadget to have.

2006 Audi A4 B7 FWD CVT Premium.I needed to turn off the STUPID SEAT BELT CHIME. Buying the Ross-Tech for $300 just for that is not a good idea. I heard this can turn it off. It WORKED! I also made a couple of mods too.It's pricey since you can get monitoring bluetooth readers for $15. I like the capabilities and I think it's a good investment since it can be updated.Also, some of the channels have instructions built in meaning there's no need to scour the internet.The app is OK but it does need you to log in, but then again what doesn't nowadays.Recommended only if you plan to mod your Audi.

The OBDeleven NextGen PRO Pack works really well — the Bluetooth connection is solid, and the diagnostics on my VW are thorough and fast. I love being able to read and clear fault codes, check freeze frame data, and do advanced coding right from my phone. The device itself feels high quality and the app interface is intuitive, even if you’re not a car expert.However, the downside for me is the app’s microtransaction model. Turning features on and off often requires extra payments on top of buying the PRO plan, which feels ridiculous. If I’m paying for an app or a feature, I expect to be able to toggle it freely without being nickel-and-dimed every time I want to disable something.So, while the tool is powerful and definitely saves time and money by avoiding unnecessary trips to the shop, the way the app charges for basic controls takes away from the overall experience. Hopefully, they’ll fix this and offer a more user-friendly pricing model in the future.If you don’t mind the microtransactions, it’s a solid buy. Just be aware the costs can add up if you want to experiment with multiple features.
