Getting Started with OBDEleven!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it! Paul

[@hmac368]

Holy crap just get to the point

[@thecrittergitter7576]

I agree!!

[@drivelinetime]

Code to have the rear view camera come on when you are driving along! It's magic

[@petergolden8614]

what is the code?

[@MrJm142]

Does your car have to be connected to the internet itself? Or do i only need internet from my phone?

[@ed1998]

What are the credits for? Why do I need them?

[@patrickagcaoili2669]

Would this void the warranty?

[@linu4592]

no

[@kenya8096]

I have a Audi A6 Quattro 07 I need to replace my climate control. How do I do this with the obdeleven. I was told I need to program it to accept the donor part please explain

[@lorentmemaj3512]

I get the message „device not responding“ What can i do?

[@brandonfriesen5389]

After using Vag Com and OBD11, I still see VCDS as superior. So much more customizability and more detailed information. I sold OBD11 after the first week I had it. Albeit, VCDS is much more expensive, but I think it's worth it.

[@zed4me]

For the majority of people, the capability of the OBDEleven is more than they could ever need, combined with the ease of use I definitely like it more than Vag Com. I have seen Vag Com being used and it's pretty cumbersome.. I'll stick with using my phone over bringing a laptop into my car anyday unless there's something I couldn't do with OBDEleven (e.g. flashing my car)

[@brandonfriesen5389]

zed4me I have a 2017 Golf R and it couldn't do some tweaks I wanted it to. I had to use vag com. And vcds can seem a bit overwhelming at first but honestly, it's so easy once you get used to it. Long coding and bytes are easy to understand and I love how I can see every parameter of the car. I can even tell if my washer fluid pump is putting out the correct pressure. I'll definitely say obd is easier to use and has a nicer UI but vag com is a more professional system. I literally have dealer level diagnostics at my fingertips. And on my 2013 Jetta TDI, I have to prime the fuel system for a fuel filter replacement. Apparently obd 11 couldn't run both fuel pumps so I again had to pull out vag com.

[@zed4me]

Brandon Friesen Yes, I'm not denying that Vagcom is superior in features. But OBDEleven also allows long coding. Interesting that you can't see what the bit is though, whereas on vagcom for example it'll say "exhaust flap", on obdeleven you just pray you're clicking the right bit haha

[@JayTac1]

Just curious, what tweaks did you make in vag that obd doesn't support?

[@brandonfriesen5389]

JayTac1 This was a few weeks ago so I don't freshly remember but I tried activating auto high beams with obd and it didn't support it. I used vag com to activate it. Also I wanted to activate it so that my DRL's stay on with the handbrake and OBD was unable to do that too

[@masterv2118]

all I get is a warning that my battery is low. new car, with battery tender... not able to long code or apply apps.. the app seems buggy ...(still better than the Carly one that reads your next service mileage data as mileage tampering lol

[@binhomedicina]

Hello. I would like to know the name of the application used? I'd like to let the power steering lighter.

[@shamibal8081]

Also convience windows

[@williamchang78]

you shouldve turned on your brightness on ur phone more

[@Sipu4Life]

i just want to know what those 10 fields mean Channel 000 and any other group that displays 10 fields instead of 4 is an exception. No scaling is possible because the Control Module provides no "Data Type" information with the data for these.

[@Gregoryg184]

I just want to know why Google Play Store says the app is incompatible with all my devices.

[@TRICKYBYRD]

Bc you have a fucxxxx iPhone

[@brodysstuff]

hello and thanks for such a great video i have only one question will this work in a volkswagen scirocco r thanks again

[@VroomsWithAView]

Great vid Zed, thinking about getting myself one of these badboys. But first, I'd like to know if this is possible: I have an MK7 GTI with Light package, and I have the "coming/leaving home" feature, which turns out my headlights when I unlock the car, and turns them off about 15 seconds after locking the car. I have a Euroswitch, but I would like to have the DRL (the outer "U" ring" around the main headlight) come on when I unlock the car, as opposed to the main headlight bulbs. My 2014 GLI with light package did this with JUST the Euroswitch, but that vehicle did NOT have the "coming/leaving home" feature. Any ideas ?

[@zed4me]

You can adjust coming home features with the obdeleven

[@TRICKYBYRD]

Yeah, it's a VW correct? Sell it.. sell it and run and don't you dare let a should see you getting out of that thing.. RUNNNN

[@shamibal8081]

I have unlocked urban joke, light assist, mirror dip, with this fine gadget

[@zed4me]

ah, mirror dip good one for sure!

[@biglilsteve]

shami bal how did you get light assist??

[@WitcherDAD]

so it means this device is useless without pro version . No access to the app with standard version = won`t connect with device = error message "device not authorized" even if your sign up link is confirmed and activated.

[@hllboi817]

Only thing I need obd11 to do is show me my ECU ID so ik if i can go unitronic stage 1+ or not

[@Deutscheautoparts]

Im going to put out something on this shortly

[@shamibal8081]

Can you go over how to long cofe

[@zed4me]

Will do

[@NSXTypeRGTRLM]

Any suggestions or recommendations on generic OBDII scan modules?

[@zed4me]

My cheapest one was the ELM327.. works wonders as a generic module. and less than $10.

[@czanel4899]

first 4 minutes yapping and yapping. I am out of here

[@HanLi1984]

when you test the soundakor the KZbin autocap translates it into "why" "why" lol super funny. "Why turn me off?" ? Hahha

[@farouksheikmadar2464]

hi does the app ask for a vin number.mine does?

[@glenwenzel6940]

Yes, I had to enter my VIN number.

[@TheAlapalooza]

What about disabling the stop/start feature.. I hate that so much.

[@zed4me]

What start stop feature? Auto hold?

[@zed4me]

Just saw it in obdeleven.. what does it do though

[@TheAlapalooza]

zed4me dont you have the feature, that turns off the engine when you stop the car? It Is on automatically on most new cars in the EU. So you have to push a button everytime you start the car, to turn it off.

[@kwanthoon2546]

why I can't to download Credit? I am OBDEleven Pro. I try to downlaod many time but can not? how to get Credit..pls

[@TRICKYBYRD]

You need money first. If your driving a VW...well.....I assume your taking donation s?

[@frumperdink8864]

Does the OBDeleven need to stay in the car permanently, or after coding can you take it back out of the car?

[@zed4me]

Doesn't need to stay in the car

[@joewontwice]

for 60 bucks worth it

[@DocRobotKey]

OBD II = OBD 2

[@c0Ld]

This is different from OBDII, OBDII (OBD2) doesn't allow you to change the coding in your car like this does

[@perrondenais684]

Floormats. I need them, but red GTI style. Where'd you get those?

[@zed4me]

There's a video on them on my channel

[@dlroto]

Is there a way to get the blind spot monitoring system to give you an audible alert?

[@zed4me]

No I don't think so

[@Caymanec]

dlroto to get blind spot in your car you have to install specific mirrors and sensors

[@dlroto]

SunLoverMan I have the blind spot system but it doesn't give audible beeps, warning of cars in the blind spot.

[@Caymanec]

dlroto then I dont think that the system designed to make audible signals.

[@shamibal8081]

Code

[@AR-fw5bn]

She’s knows about the sound aktor ?

[@jhkim00]

Can you activate 'Performance monitor' using OBDEleven?

[@zed4me]

No that's built into the the new MIB

[@Caymanec]

zed4me I have MIB2 but I dont have PM. Do you know how to activate it?

[@zed4me]

SunLoverMan There should be a forum post on it.. I personally know I don't have MIB2 so I never looked into it

[@jmsma6234]

Zed. You're probably wishing you had this for the deactivation of the soundaktor. It was great to deactivate, but I must confess, I preferred the sound. I know it's not real, but I prefer to take the blue pill, and stay in the matrix!

[@zed4me]

I've achieved the same intoxicating sound that the soundaktor seems to replicate except its now natural. Two things I needed to do, one was the resonator delete, and two was to keep the exhaust flaps open permanently. It really does sound like the soundaktor is still on which is pretty nice because I know now that it's natural and not emulated. I wonder how loud the car would be now with the soundaktor back on haha, either way, video to come soon!

[@akozaro8]

How does leaving the exhaust flaps permanently open affect gas mileage?

[@zed4me]

akozaro8 I don't see how it could affect it. If it does I'm sure it's too minimal to calculate

[@matthewmiller8105]

+zed4me Glad you like the sound. I have the same setup and like it as well. Toying with trying 50% soundaktor to get a little more rumble though...

[@_Mario_PL_]

can you code to have the mirrors fold like the Euro Golf R after locking the car?

[@madarauchiha1218]

If its US you need to buy the power folding mirrors

[@_Mario_PL_]

Mr. from what I have read was that they already are power folding and just need coding to work. That is not coming from me, just something that I have read on a KZbin video in the comments.

[@zed4me]

The mirrors in the US aren't power folding ones, they're physically different. If you can find any links saying otherwise I'm all ears.

[@_Mario_PL_]

zed4me I'm sure you know better than someone who wrote that in a comments section on a video. Now I'm a little sad that they are not, I was hoping that all had to be done to have them fold was some coding.

[@zed4me]

***** same. Wouldve been so easy

[@akozaro8]

I've been trying to figure out auto rain window close on my 2016 MK7 GTI Autobahn with no luck (GTI should be the same as for the Golf R). If you can get it to work on yours and make a walkthrough video, that would be awesome! The steps I tried were here: sites.google.com/a/naturalnetworks.ca/vw-golf-mk7-vcds-how-to/comfort/auto-rain-closing Other mods you can try from that link that I've been successful with using the OBDEleven: Enable fan display on Climatronic audio Passenger Mirror Dip (I used the credits for this one) Key fob window/sunroof open/close Change instruments to carbon fiber look DRL option in MIB (nice for when you need to drive around in an area where lights are prohibited, such as a drive-in movie or cemetery) Keep DRLs on with turn signal (it really bothers me when they dim with the turn signal) Hill hold assist adjustment (not sure if this applies to you since you have DSG, but for manual the default was 2%, I made it more sensitive at 1%)

[@zed4me]

Hey I just did the rain window close. At least it shows up on the screen. I haven't tested it though. Once I test it I'll get back to you.

[@akozaro8]

Thanks! I got the option to show up in my car's menu as well, but when I poured some water over my sensor, nothing happened. Some forums were saying it only starts working after the car has been off for a few minutes, and others say you need to do a factory reset of the mirror/window settings before it'll start working, but I have not tried that yet.

[@1965oscarsanchez]

Obd 11 is great for the weekend warrior type of work . Any engine /trans coding will VOID any factory warrant , also other modules like abs ,central electric will also will voided . While obd eleven is great AlWAYS be cautious u might fry a module 😱

[@jjnolms1967]

You should also do ESC off permanently and remove torque limiter, here is the link www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21888

[@zed4me]

Don't want to turn off ESC permanently and torque limiter isn't an issue with the Golf R as far as I know.. just with the GTI.

[@jjnolms1967]

You should do the urban joke.

[@zed4me]

Urban joke looks weird on the stock taillights..

[@GTI_CHHA]

Agreed. You need the LED rears to make it look nice, like a true F1 pace car ;-)

[@jmsma6234]

+zed4me Don't knock until you try it. I switched to the urban yoke to give car approach my rear enhanced warning. The stock setup is not as impactful. I'm not interested in a rear end collision!

[@zed4me]

jm sma I'll try it later.. when I switch the tail lights to LED (not the euro LEDs, just converting the bulbs to LED)

[@charlesbaird8305]

If you really cared for the interior of your car you wouldnt use that Armour All I see there in your passengers door!!! EEEEK

[@Screamingseagull_]

i was going to say the same thing

[@joecharron3984]

It amazes me how observative people are

[@MrFreeze79]

you get what you pay for..

[@TRICKYBYRD]

Huh? I have the pro and paid 112 on Cyber Monday and have been able to save sooooooo much money with diagnostics alone. It's 85$ anywhere just for a shop to tell you what the issue is. Use it 1 time and it's paid for. Let alone all the apps that allow you to tweak your car and turn things on that weren't from factory. Even the secret green screen for MMI turns on VIA OBD Eleven. Your right you do get what you pay for and I bet youve never paid for one of these
