Unlock VW and AUDI features easily! OBDeleven Pro Review; VCDS alternative - Netcruzer TECH

[@netcruzer]

*IMPORTANT - I received a media test unit that included PRO code and 200 credits. Pro code and credits are not included with the devices right now on their store. I've also learned that the keyring version does not include PRO. The Pro Pack is sold separately. I apologize for the misleading errors, and have asked OBDeleven to update their website or to offer devices bundled with Pro and with Credits. I forgot to show if the ELM327 device worked with OBDeleven app. It did not work. OBDeleven app needs the genuine OBDeleven device. Also I do wish the OBDeleven device would work with other apps, like torque. Forum says that is unlikely to ever happen. I guess they are concerned some other 3rd party app could replicate their long coding solution for free. So I'd like OBDeleven to add a gauge page like Torque has. Something to show boost pressure, 0-60 times, HP numbers in a dashboard, etc would be a great value add on top of what OBDeleven can already do.

Hi do you have to buy credits or earn credits in order to do long coding on this yourself, can someone please tell me thanks

[@elukok]

Buying credits for it to do stuff - so basically micro transactions for my car? Are you sure Electronic Arts haven't produced this dongle? That would be quite fitting. Future feature - you will get a crate box that unlocks a random thing in your car every day.

[@citronovykolac]

You can do all actions for free via longconding. No credits or stuff. The "App" functionality is abstraction of this which takes away all the risks of tinkering with longcoding - just click and go without any risk. That's why I think it's justified for them to charge for it. It's something unique for their device and if you don't want to shell out, you can go completely without it. Also you can get free credits by watching ads

Excellent video. No BS. No long introduction. No crappy music. Straight to the point. Thanks!

[@klavier285]

I have an obdeleven and it's great. Looking at the comments there seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the credit and app system. You don't need to buy credits to change anything, you can just do it manually by doing your research first. Also, you can get 5 free credits a day, one for just opening the app, and 4 more for watching short ads. Most of the instant app changes only cost like 10 credits so you can easily build up enough free points to use those. I've used at least a half dozen of the instant coding apps and haven't payed for credits once and I never will. And to be honest there aren't even that many instant coding apps anyway, for a lot of changes you'll need to manually do it yourself, which is why I also suggest that you get the pro version from the start since you can only do long coding with that one.

[@derfstang480]

I’ve owned this device for about a year now. Works for everything I needed and it’s less than the Ross vcds for MY needs. Once you buy the app subsection on the main app, you own it. You do not need to repurchase it for that vehicle. I don’t know how it works for multiple vehicles. I used it to disable hill assist and reduce the brake assist as you come to a stop. The brake assist is that annoying feature where if you maintain the same brake pedal pressure as you slow down, the car decides at the last few mph to apply additional pressure to basically stop short. Other than that, I use it for code reading which I haven’t had to do much of. Hmmm $80 or $200-$300? $80 does all I need.

[@FiliusFidelis]

This device would have been interesting at twice the price, trice the price even... as long as it had not included this damn micro-transaction bullcrap.

[@virusboy07]

Talamon San it’s bullshit not just bull crap. The developer of this thing is a greedy pig.

[@bsautospa2957]

System Shock 🤘🤘🤘

[@davidwheeler4304]

Another thing to consider is if you take your vehicle to the dealership for any ECU updates it may wipeout any or all changes. This means you would have to pay twice for the same change(s). Plus, if you want to change something back prior to visiting the dealership for any reason and change back after, you would pay for a single item 3 times. And some changes are 100 credits and I think you can purchase 500 credits for around $50? The cost of this item can climb pretty quick

[@Nomar070]

Yeah they should make it so once bought you can add it back and remove it whenever you want. Otherwise make the hardware more pricey sow that is possible.

[@TraceyAllen]

That is not how it works. The Ecu specifically controls the engine. If you code the tail lights to do something, an ecu reflash will not affect the lighting. Most dealerships will keep long coding in place if changing something like the central locking module, example like convenience windows or unlocking all doors.

[@Dstructeur1]

⁠@@TraceyAllenThat’s not how it works. When they change most of the car modules, they take the long coding that goes with the vin number in their utility, thus denabling those specifics. Also one of the first thing you try as a qualified mechanic for common strange electronics issues is to align all modules coding because sometimes unpredictable data corruption can lead to fairly untrackable issues that gets resolved by rewriting. You guessed it, we don’t do that manually, thankfully for time spent, a computer does all that in a few minutes and find those coding values by VIN number.

[@GoodDeal123]

[@netcruzer]

Apps are a convenience. You can do it all manually in long coding and avoid the credit system. They are charging for the convenience. I've looking to Carista, and they use a subscription model to allow 'customizations'. No free lunch if you want it easy.

[@biggyk87]

I totally understand but I still feel its a shady business model or a cash grab if you will. I mean why not just charge an extra "one time" fee? I have to pay to enable a feature with the app then pay again if I need to disable it? Its a very nice selling feature and makes it different from vagcom but its the pay "per use" that bugs me. Was the creators, game developers in the past? lol

[@elukok]

It is absolutely disgusting for them to do this. I would never buy anything like that. Basically a micro transaction for your car. Total BS. You pay for the dongle and then you need to buy some Credits?! WTF? Are you sure this dongle wasn't made by Electronic Arts?

[@manhuerta19]

Would you prefer the long hours on forums? How about you dont get it right? I've had this for almost a year and i have more credits that ill ever need and i havent paid for a single one ever

[@elukok]

Why should i have to have some stupid credits if i already payed for the dongle?! I don't want to click trough some stupid ads everyday to get one credit per day or some crap like that. If it costs them more money then the price of the dongle, make the dongle more expensive. Dont add this bullshit. I would definitely rather spend hours on forums then support this crappy shady practices. If you use already proven to work manual modifications, the chance you will damage your car is not higher then with this. Were do you think the authors of this find the modifications? On the same forums you do.

You can change things manually with a pro purchase. Credits are for one button press convenience.

[@baijokull]

@@netcruzer Imagine a car with a convenient button on the key to unlock the doors. Pretty common these days. Now imagine that you had to pay extra every time you press that button. Sure, you can always open the car with the key manually. But that's still extremely annoying.

[@netcruzer]

That analogy doesn't make sense though. Because you would pay the fee ONCE, and then gain access to it forever, not every use. I've compared VCDS vs OBDeleven vs Carista. OBDeleven is easiest to use and cheapest overall, even if you choose to use credits.

[@SpitFireBuz]

so you would rather pay 200-300 dollars (minimum) for a vcds cable and software, which isn't as user friendly and you ll use maybe one a year, just in case you want to do long coding, which you can already do in this with no credits. credits are just if you don't want to do long coding. it s for convenience only. if you know long coding you don t need credits. and you only pay for the device and pro. which is less than 100 dollars vs the 200+ for vcds cable. if you only want it for a few things that you can find long code online and only for checking errors every now and then, it s not worth buying the vcds cable. not to mention the vcds is more restrictive when i comes to what laptop and os you can use. but to each his own.

[@adamm.1367]

I will definitely keep my vcds micro-can. OBDEleven seems more like a toy than a diagnostic tool (microtransactions...really???). I would not consider it for anything other than enabling/disabling convenience features. The logging/live data capability of VCDS is where it really shines and there is a clear reason it sets the bar for aftermarket vag diag tools.

[@netcruzer]

I agree with you, but for the majority of people who just want to turn on or off some feature, it’s way cheaper and easier for them to do OBD11. That’s their key demographic in my opinion. VCDS is more powerful tool but most don’t need those functions.

[@mikkomakinen1429]

Agreed. That $199 for the ROSS TECH VCDS can bus interface was the best investment I ever made for my Audi.

If you do work on your own car, it's a must have.

One of the best and most thorough review. VCDS is overkill and too expensive for your basic DIY, this is why they lowered their price and offered the single VIN version for $200. I appreciate you taking the time to post this review. I'm going to buy one and obd11 should pay you a Commission!

Thanks for the kind words. Purchase an OBD11 or anything after clicking an amzn link in the description and I do earn a small commission. 👍

[@netcruzer]

I apologize if I misled anyone but what I said about the device including PRO and Credits was not true. Mine was a media test unit with all features available. To do what I showed you will need to buy the device, buy the pro pack, and earn or buy credits. I want them to include a bundle with all that like I received.

[@davidberk1667]

Your OBDeleven performance Video was very informative and easy to understand. I happen to have a 2020VW Atlas Cross Sports vehicle and I have had several issues with this vehicle’s functions and had to have dealer reprogram the system to resolve the issues. Anyway, recently I had a DRL go out on one side and after getting it replaced under warranty, another side went out and due to vehicle having over45k miles, it is no longer covered under warranty. The part only comes as assembly and it cost about $1000 +$600 for labor just to replace DLR only. I was told by few staff at the dealer to find a mechanic shop that would use your type of programming tool to shut off the DRL only instead of spending $1600 for to just to have DRL showing during the day time operation of this vehicle. So to make the long story short, is your OBD tool able to turn off the DRL function only, on my VW Atlas cross sports. If so, I think this will help lot of VW owners from spending large sum of money to replace the DRL lights. Maybe you can do a tutorial video on this function as well. I would appreciate it a lot.

If you want a tablet sized Android, Lenovo, Samsung, and Asus all make decent low end 8" models. Or look at a pre-paid Android phone, with a 5" or larger display. Something about the manual long coding in OBDeleven is that it might be more difficult, because most forum posts (at least in the past) provide how to do it in VCDS and the screens don't match with OBDeleven. The credit system may be worth it for some of the more complicated changes.

What don’t understand is why they don’t make app for iOS

[@netcruzer]

I've asked, but have not received an answer to that yet.

[@sinistervulcan]

Quick question for you can you see a car's mileage with this software? My center screen has an error and won't display the mileage

[@nukeDOTlv]

Yes you can

[@recorder12]

say you've long coded one more time

[@namehere3155]

I've long coded

[@LittleJa2002]

I have a question about this product if anyone can help would be greatly appreciated. My friend and I both have Jetta SEL w/ Digital cockpits. We just want to do simple stuff like change the gauges in them and the keyfob window up/down feature kind of things. Do we have to buy two OBD11 or can we use one between the two cars? I’m using IOS.

[@netcruzer]

You can use one for multiple cars. 👍

[@sbr1160]

Do I need the pro version just to use the credits and apps? I'm not experienced with the OBD at all, I'm going to purchase a used car so would like it to show up any hidden faults, or potential problems, the only thing I actually want to be able to do is set up a few basic functions once I've found the right car

[@Trohawkk]

Credit system is lame

[@ahmedkudy8264]

Hi , which one is the best ? The obd11 or vcds ? Thanks

[@menbereketselazena6795]

Wow Volkswagen the best favorite car ever 🥂 cheers

[@amzarnacht6710]

Cool stuff... Will it allow you to enable remote start (if you get the proper remote) or all windows up on lock/down on unlock, sunroof control from remote?

[@MrConminer]

Thanks for that awesome video! Was very helpful

[@netcruzer]

😊👍 Thanks

[@Aleziss]

before buying, is there a way to see what options are available for a particular car ?

[@c7uk]

SEAT = ‘SAY-AT’ not ‘SEET’ 😉

[@yankeensouth4u2]

Not bad. But VCDS is allot more in Depth and versatile. Have it hooked up to my convertable tablet and take it to meets and tweek people's cars . Just allot more info and easier to show results..

[@josephfitzpatrick6749]

This device could be the reason I never buy any other car than a VW or Audi again :D ahaa

[@netcruzer]

I hear that! If would miss the ability to tweak the computers a lot if I switched brands.

[@Salih.EduBlock]

Man I’ve never heard of this tech. I’m excited to use it in my VW cc. Thanks.

[@moallali4407]

did you use it? what did it change?

[@Salih.EduBlock]

@@moallali4407 I did not purchase it Fam. I’m so preoccupied with my Semi truck. Just dropped a load and about to get in this sleeper. I Bought a system for it called OTR Performance, since I’ve been on this road over 9 months so far this year. My VW is parked and covered out of state. I’ll get back to playing with the CC when I take a break for the new year. Been going hard all year. Thanks for asking.

[@Cristian121212100]

Just get vcds lite for $99 plus an eBay cable ($7) instead of doing dumb micro transactions for tuning.

[@RobertsBiezais]

VCDS is free program, just buy the orignal cable. I think you got scammed

[@farmer864]

Roberts Biezais from where?

[@colereynoldson2492]

Those cheap Ebay cables don't work for cars 2005 and newer I believe.

Hi do you know if you can turn off auto upshift with a dsg? And auto kick Down? Thanks for sharing this video nice gti

[@bummerbrooks3220]

Are you able to code launch control into vehicles that didn't come equipped with it ?

[@shiftya4]

The 1 faulty control unit/s code you couldn't clear wasn't a dtc to be cleared it was saying the control module its self is faulty. It was the sat radio I belive

[@MrOmer123]

I’m thinking of paying 200$ and get the VCDS with HEX-V2 cable, does it worth it? Or this OBD-11 better choice?

[@mtj2347]

Do you have to pay to unlock features for example to make back windows roll all the way down and that stuff? And does it work in Europe for Audi A4 Avant 2008?

[@MrFadihamdan]

I have Japanese imported golf 2015. Can I change the country code to New Zealand for the navigation systems using this?

[@ManuelJimenez-xz1xn]

Thinking of buying this. But once you use your credit for a feature (example: mirror dip) is it set on your car until you deactivate it or you have to keep purchasing the feature every time you want to use it?

[@danielriceimplausiblecusto8129]

You only use credits to change an app's setting , so it only chargers you when you turn an app on or off. Not everytime your car performs an action. Just when you change the info on you ecu.

[@ajaxborges]

Any idea if this product can be used to troubleshoot convertible top issues on an 08 Audi TT?

[@dmrusso35]

can this device turn on or program for rear camera? on a 2012 volkswagen Passat TDI SEL Premium ? I bought a plug and play kit but says it must be programmed for rear camera first before installing the kit for a backup camera.

[@Lupillo131986]

Will OBD11 let you do the emmission readiness for the monitors just like VCSD??? Thanks

Will I be able to activate car play and voice control using this device on my Passat variant B8 ?

[@rbmwiv]

How much are credits and if you wanna do the same mod on 2 different cars do you have to buy the app twice? Thanks, great video.

[@netcruzer]

Credit cost carries per region. Yes you do have to spend credits for each change if that app. Durning it on, off, different car, etc. To avoid that you can use buy pro access and code it manually instead of paying to use the apps.

[@alexandergrigorov2594]

Not sure is it the same app however “OBDeleven - Car diagnostics” app is available in Apple store.

[@netcruzer]

Yes, that’s to go along with the next gen OBD11 that’s launching now that supports iOS

[@jack_wu]

Can this tool be used to configure/adapt newly installed Tow Hitch for Audi Q7

[@tahirotahir]

Sorry I know this is not the top but .... How can I test if radiator cooling fans are working or not in Audi A7/A6 TDI 3.0? My car is not overheating but while on my driveway I never heard fans running after coming from driving. I saw a test for Fan1 and Fan 2 in this OBDEleven, but both says " Not supported" when I try to select value for that test.

[@Smitha2013]

I guess my main question is, does this void any warranty on a new car?

[@KaraKawa35]

hello buddy, should the device always stay plugged in? or will we remove it after the transaction?

[@Easy-PCorg]

After modifying the code we are interested in, should the OBD11 be left connected for life, or can it be disconnected without the modified code being reset?

[@GabrielBourke]

@Netcruzer RC TECH CARS I have a UK Golf Mk7 and the passenger window opens up by itself while driving and then it takes about 2min to close it again. Can the OBDeleven Pro work for diagnosing that too here in Europe?
