The BEST OBDEleven Mods And Tweaks For The MK7 GTI | Golf R!

[@CatsDontBark]

Hard brake triple flash Fogs flash with turn indicators Are some I run along with the ones you’ve shown.

[@DArias]

Very nice! I actually did the triple flash but removed it as it seemed a little tiny bit obnoxious when pressing the brake

[@TheSeanwilliamson]

Very well explained I just purchased an OBDeleven For my 2017 MK7. It has been fun exploring all of its options. Definitely a must have if you own a Volkswagen or Audi. I remember quit a few years back when I owned a 2007 B6 and we didn't have options like OBDeleven instead you had to have a 600 dollar VAG cable and a laptop to even open up the rear breaks 😂

[@robertwalker7837]

Just got an OBDEleven for my MK7 GTi. Perfect video dude and great recommendations on first mods! I’m excited about this thing now!

[@tylerbryant5425]

That was awesome! Thank you so much! Just bought my GTI yesterday! Can’t wait to get this for my birthday. Lol.

[@trevoraustin1967]

Golf r too? Love that you have this and the s3 now

[@DArias]

Thanks! And yes should be similar for the R

[@allanortiz4901]

Please keep pumping out the content bro

[@DArias]

Will try! Lol

[@tomdarnell7105]

Amazing video Diego. Great stuff with obd11

[@DArias]

Thank you! Many great things can be done via obdeleven

[@jasonerber9539]

Another great video Diego. Good job

[@DArias]

Thanks!

[@dwayneparks4437]

Didn’t know the red dot display wasn’t available in older years. It’s the best looking 1

[@DArias]

Yes I believe from 2017 and up it’s an option to use but 15 and 16 do not have the ability. If there’s a way I’d like to know! I wanna use it lol

[@petedawn8446]

The Tailight’s! No idea something like that could be done on the stock lights

[@DArias]

Arguably my favorite thing I’ve done so far lol I think I’m gonna to led tails though but I think it’s the same procedure

[@42cuba]

@@DArias I have a Mk 7 R, can you change the turn signal also?

[@davezapata1034]

Awesome video bro. The tail light feature is amazing

[@DArias]

Thank you! Yes it’s arguably my favorite features I’ve changed

[@Anoymus985]

@@DArias can u make a vid on how to unlock car apple play using this obd11..i no u may have apple play but 4 the ppl who dnt an want to unlock using this device..would be apresihated 👍🏼

[@HandsomeTroll]

Can you make a video on what we need to check when we buy a used mk7 gti?

[@DArias]

Absolutely could in the future!

[@Timbo1969]

You can long code Sound Aktor by going to Structure borne sound without having to use credits

[@Johnkult]

Thanks mate. How do you change the Video on motion setting?

[@eriksony6398]

I have seen you using the OBDeleven in many diagnostic videos, Would you like to do a comparison with Launch Elite VW version scan tool?

[@coreyzeynep9224]

Does the AC thing really work? Having a terrible heat wave down here in Virginia

[@DArias]

So I can’t lie maybe call it placebo but when I turn the ac on almost immediately it will start to blow out cool and after a minute it’s super cold again maybe it’s a mind trick but I feel it’s worked here in jersey during the heat wave

[@roarky9461]

I’m sure it works the thing is, is how much stress is it putting in your AC compressor. VW won’t warranty it if it breaks bc you tweaked it

[@KevinLavorgna]

I don't think you have to code the window up and down in.. older Vw's you could do it with insetting the key in the door and holding, mk7 you can just hold the buttons, also shuts the sun roof

[@DArias]

You’re correct the mk7 with the key and holding it will roll the windows up and with the unlock will roll them down. The lock button however from factory will not roll the windows back up that can only be activated via coding

[@robbylebotha]

​@@DArias dunno bruv, maybe it's region dependent but the windows up AND down via remote/fob is standard. On south African models many of these unlockable features are standard here

[@BertFlandreau]

@@robbylebothanot in North America

[@roguednation]

Can confirm you need to code it in NA

[@henryhall2963]

Not in Uk

[@rileyhallett2743]

Can you make your brake lights flash when braking even when pressing lightly not the hard braking?

[@Dino2408_]

Should you leave the obd eleven plugged in at all times, even after coding or can I unplugged it and still Have the ability to have all the codes which I'd like to purchase?

[@DArias]

Once the car is coded you can unplug the obdeleven it saves everything in the ecu and tcu when you make changes so no worries!

[@Dino2408_]

Thank you!

[@Dee-lt9ub]

Can you scan and reset tire pressure light on? 2021 Volkswagen Jetta I used to be able to reset it from the factory radio in settings but I can’t do it anymore I have a aftermarket car stereo?

[@ryangeorge7062]

Using a OBD11 doesn't void your warranty correct?

[@ADPeguero]

Is it better to run these with the car running or not running?

[@cheeseballs8u]

Every video I’ve seen they have it running but they are downloading / making changes so not sure about normally . After you’ve made changes do you have to keep it in?

[@robbylebotha]

I just got my OBD this week, I've done better mods that I don't even see all the youtube vids talk about. On my Mk7 Gti. 1. Flashing brake lights when you do emergency stop. 2. Can now switch off DRL on/off in the menu 3. Smooth linear throttle response 4. Smoothed the pulling off so car is less jerky(I have DSG) And best mod I coded: 5. Automatic closing of windows and sunroof when car is parked and it detects rain. Added this in the menu so can toggle on/off You will need the Pro Version to do the adaptations needed. Doing it via apps/credits is just way too expensive in my country. All the mods I did above would cost 2x what the actual OBDEleven device costs. And I did them in less than an hour. I think that these are the best mods to do as they make the car more enjoyable unlike that cheesy joker indicator mod which just for looks. Being able to switch the DRL off is useful for when I'm chilling at night playing music on the street or if I'm waiting for someone at night, I can park and keep the car idling without attracting attention to myself. Also beside mods, I encourage yall to learn how to use this to detect issues, not just scanning for errors but to check if your timing chain is off or if you have a boost leak ect

[@joelpearson8623]

OBD11 absolutely saved my 2.0t in my q5. Wish I had screenshot the 11.2% out of phase because nobody would believe me. It did make me immediately park it and order parts and tools. Successfully did the timing chain and balance shaft chain install on my own.

[@xalamander5502]

DRL’s turn off when u lift e-brake. No coding needed

[@robbylebotha]

@@xalamander5502 not in my country, they only switch off when you take the key out of the ignition. I'm referring to specifically VW makes. Are you in south africa, that's where I am. Our models come standard with heated seat memory, other countries they need to code this in. So there are differences bud. But hey, I'd be glad to do a short video to show you they don't turn off.

[@robbylebotha]

@@joelpearson8623 that's what I love to hear, actual functionality. I'm sure you were glad you spent the money on the device and it saved you thousands, basically paid for itself. I don't like that it's just marketed for stupid aesthetic mods when it's could literally save your engine or save you from begging ripped off. They don't even do tutorials on the useful stuff. If I had the time, wish to do a video on the basics of how to use OBD11 to scan a used car before you buy it, so you can negotiate price or not buy a lemon.

[@xalamander5502]

@@robbylebotha i drive a mk7 gti. Ive owner a mk4 jetta , mk5 gti as well. All of which DRL’s turn off when ebrake is engaged.

Need to get a tune to get rid of it

[@justJamezinAround]

@@DArias thanks for responding. I have a GTI Sport I deleted the clutch spring, muffler, and added a cold air intake and Highflow Inlet pipe. Would that be ready for a stage 1 tune or do I need to do more modifications?

[@alexpineda6585]

has anyone been able to change their maximum speed limiter?

[@Roberto-954]

U have obd?

[@robbylebotha]

Urban Joker is one of the dumbest mods I see on the streets especially if you have the LED package which comes standard on GTIs in south africa. Also alot of these mods you have to pay for on OBD are standard features on south african models like the opening and closing of windows using the FOB and DRL with foglights. USA get some really crappy version of the GTI tbh lol shame

[@alexandertebo4011]

Has absolutely nothing to do with getting a crappy ‘version’. It has to do with lighting regulations and other road regulations that the US has. You’re acting like it’s a flex to be living in South Africa 😂

[@nine-inch-nail]

Is there any way to long code the hid headlights so they are brighter…..that would definitely be beneficial

[@DArias]

That’s a good question, unfortunately since I have a base I have the crappy halogen headlights but I’m sure it’s covered somewhere online if it’s possible or not

[@robbylebotha]

Brighter, I don't know but you can code them to increase the distance at lower speeds, from factory it increases distance only on highway speed

[@nine-inch-nail]

@@robbylebotha thank you

[@azzaahhYT]

Personally, I like the soundaktor, at least until i get an aftermarket exhaust

[@Matt_10203]

It makes it easier to sense when to shift, with an aftermarket that problem is pretty much solved by the louder exhaust but Soundaktor does a decent job when stock.
