OBDeleven Credits and How They Work

In this video, we talk about the credits on OBDeleven. How much do they cost and when do you need to use them. We also discuss what can be done without credits.
Update - Since making this video OBDeleven has created a next-gen version that works with iPhones! You can still buy the android version if you would like. LINKS BELOW

My OBDEleven that I bought from you was just delivered today and I absolutely love it. The first thing i did was buy the UrbanJoke V2 with the free credits they gave me and decided to try out other tweaks with the help of the forums. I gotta say it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be being someone whos never touched a VCDS. In the span of an hour i got Seatbelt chime off, igniton warning chime off, ECS sport/OFF button function, mirror dip, carbon fiber display, comfort turnsignal to 4, and messed with the soundaktor. It took a little bit of messing round with because the adaptations aren't exactly laid out like VCDS but its not difficult. I'm still trying to get some stuff to work like having the 3rd brake light flash when i get on the brakes and some other stuff that i havent been able to find on the forums. I definitely recommend OBDEleven and I wear my Deutsche Auto Parts sticker on my MK7 with pride!

[@AversaS2]

If I buy a really cheap android tablet without a data plan, will it still work? Or does it have to have an internet connection?

[@TheLp640fan]

+AversaS i honestly dont know, it runs through bluetooth, i think you would need some sort of internet so if you can connect to wifi you should be fine. i think iphones have easy hotspot option. i run it through my andriod device and havent seen any performance losses when my LTE signal is lower

[@kornalekso]

+Jason Guarino how did you get the urban joke v2 to work on your mk7??????

[@TheLp640fan]

+Aless Acuna I bought the app with the free credits I got and clicked the check mark to accept the changes and it worked first time.

[@Gino20202]

Does your mirror return to it's original position after dipping in reverse or does it go a little higher each time? I read some people were saying it didn't return to the original position and they had to keep adjusting it down. The mirror dip is the main reason I'd buy this but if it doesn't work... pass.

[@HemantKumar-ds8tx]

I just brought the obd11 pro from you guys for 2007 Audi A4 FWD. I was wondering which channel reads the ATF temperature?

[@dephcon5213r123eqwed]

Thank you for all the videos. Very informative.

[@RyanSheppard]

By requiring credits, you've made the app dependent on your servers. Can we use buttons without a data connection?

[@jswallet]

Credits sound like a fair exchange for your own time, frustration and potential error. You are essentially buying someone else's time and skill. Worth it to me.

[@chrisdelg9]

John Wallet Exactly

[@josephburton92]

hello i plan on buying one of the OBDelevens, great concept, i was just wondering is there an applist i can look at. i need to switch my US audi tail lights to EU to pass the MOT (2011 Audi s5)

[@Kaneato25]

Keep changing the date of your android device to keep getting the free 5 creds.

[@youridol]

Wait what?

[@DYGAZ]

@@youridol Best guess the app tracks your sign up date. If you set the clock back to before that date it will credit every time it hits the sign up date.

[@froZn991]

Or just dont buy that garbage

[@HVRKK]

@@froZn991 is there any obd coders out there that you don't have to pay for coding every time

[@ecophage]

Thanks so much, I stumbled onto you through humble mechanic a week ago fixing my wife’s tsi. The. During research today I kept stumbling onto your videos with exact answers to my questions. Great job. I did a DIY UTE jetta on my channel last month, and need to do throttle body adaptation now. I’m going to buy the obdeleven, but I’m curious with adaptation be an app that will cost credits? And lastly will the obdeleven do hex-can for my South African tiico converted Vanagon Westfalia ecu?

[@cemen777]

Great video and thanks for clarification on how to buy/get credits.

[@d-block6136]

hi guys- my main question is: most of the codes/coding info for the odb11 seems to be for VWs. are the codes the same for audi B8s? eg: will the adaptions be the same for seat-belt chime delete in an MK7 and an A4-2012? TIA.

Hi sorry i if completely missed the details i just wanted it to enable cruise control on my Audi Q5. Do i need credit or something for it. For my understanding i require the dongle and pro version software. Waiting for your reply. Thank You

[@rayrum1]

Paul, I got my OBDeleven in the mail. I scanned my car and got some fault codes, very helpful. However, the Apps section only has 2 Apps and it seems like a lot of coding tweaks are not available. Any help here on what tweaks I can make? I drive a 2007 A3 8P

[@konsul2006]

Very happy with the app and obd dongle, worked like a charm on skoda octavia mk4!

[@seung1ee]

Hi, I saw that there is a section called "Optical Parking System", and I was wondering if that has code to activate dynamic guidelines with the rearview camera. I have a Golf with the parking sensors, but the dynamic guidelines only activate when I'm in the screen with the distance markers not the rearview camera. Audi A3's have the dynamic guidelines, so I thought OBDeleven might offer it. If it doesn't, do you by any chance know of any other methods to add this to a MK7 Golf/GTI? Thank you in advance!

[@jbrown7441]

I am pretty sure I already know the answer, but does the OBD11 have the ability to perform a throttle body adaptation?

[@2012daffyduck]

Whats the difference between the Pro edition and the Standard (??) no-Pro edition?

[@annawilson4571]

How does it work if you use the function for exampel for Rest Inspection. Does it cost 10 credits each time or 10 credits can I use it as many times as I want?

[@rcspeedjunkie]

If you use an app and spend credits but decide you don't like it, or say you only want it on sometimes, is that yours forever or will you have to buy it again!

[@dwhitlock7809]

Can you tell me what I may be doing wrong? I have credits on my new OBDeleve, but when i click adaptation, It still wants me to input a long code. I thought the credits would code automatically? (trying to disable 2017 Q5 door chime) Thanks

[@HumbleBearcat]

I currently have 2018 Q5 & a 2010 Golf and am considering buying this device. Have some questions: (1)Will it work with other car brands? (2)If I bought the $60 one, will it allow me to read the ATF temperature? Allow me to release the pressure in the DSG? Customize window closing/opening? (3) Do I need to pay each time I execute these functions? (4) What is the difference between the $60 & the $80 one? (5) Will it work on Galaxy S7? (6) What is long coding? (7)

[@peacefrog0521]

Just got mine from shopDAP today, set it up this evening. Not sure if it was true when this video was shot a year ago, but I can only get 6 free credits per day. Still, it was worth it to get the "global close" windows & sunroof close & open with the keyfob (also works with the keyless entry on the door handle!). Look forward to trying more, especially anything that will improve the headlight output/pattern (on bi-xenon with AFS). I might even consider buying credits (this from a guy who has never spent a penny on iTunes!). Thanks! P.S. - I also bought a set of DAP stickers - any chance you might do a tutorial video showing how to apply these? :-)

[@ccrcdr4983]

Once you have the app do you have it for good?

[@ygalion]

What is the most expensive one?

[@AlecMcKanna]

Can you give a little more details on how the app purchasing works? If I purchase the taillight coding app with credits, am I only allowed to perform that "one-touch coding" a single time? Can I undo that coding with a single touch as well, or do I have to purchase the app again? Thanks Paul!

[@Deutscheautoparts]

They are purchased for 1 time use yes.

[@mnl493x]

So why doesn’t the “get free credits “ option work? It just buffers and then says check internet connection, when the internet connection is full as I’m sat by my router, but if I select buy credits that one loads up straight away?? Answer please, have you turned off the free credits option for your own gain?

[@mikeortiz6584]

I bought the OBDEleven and purchase 200 worth of credits..I have a 15 S4 and wanted the Comfort Windows app installed but its not listed but when I look up similar vehicle A5/S5 its listed? What can I do to get the app? By the way works great on inspection reset and oil interval that is very helpful since I do all my maintenance and Audi charges for that service just for a damn reset👍

2017 models have different coding for them. At this time OBDeleven does not have apps released for that model as they require some time to work out the details on what will be required for each of the apps shown on previous models.

So I see this OBDeleven product that will enable you to view the vehicle data details, fault codes, etc. and input data as needed. Now I see it uses a business model like commodity software such as MS Windows, etc. where you pay to buy the product, then need to pay more to use the product you just bought. Big turn off for a newby. Thanks for the explanation, but I will spend my time looking elsewhere first. May come back, who knows, but turned off by this business model.

So when can we use this on ios?

[@NurchOK]

Gregson Berlin hopefully never. Take that, Apple :)

[@gregsonberlin3782]

NurchOK Thanks for your qualified answer.

[@NurchOK]

Gregson Berlin Lol. :) To be fair, I do know a number of people that use iPhones, the device does what the person needs it to do and they're happy with it. My problem is with people that get one just because it's cool to have one or worse: they get it simply "because it's so expensive that it must be good". Both categories don't know even how to install apps. Now to your question, one reason this may never happen is the way Apple implemented Bluetooth. As far as I know, iOS only supports BTLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) protocol. Android supports both (in fact, BTLE support is relatively recent). So it may never happen because of Apple'e' policies and selective implementation of protocols... In addition, given that the tools for developing iOS apps are not free (subscription based off I'm not mistaken), there​ is a reasonable chance it may not be soon. It might be beneficial for you to invest in a semi-decent Samsung tablet for around $100 or so. How this explains things better. Best of luck (and sorry for the original comment, thought it would be funny)

[@gregsonberlin3782]

NurchOK I have no clue why you think I can't install apps on my iOS devices or what is leading you to all your other strange thoughts.

[@NurchOK]

Gregson Berlin, that is not what I said. Please read my response with more attention. I said that iOS only supports BTLE, if this device utilises BT (Bluetooth, but not Low Energy substandard), even if you write the app yourself, it will not be able to communicate with the OBD11 device... The development tools are also not free (for Android the tools are free, for iOS they aren't), so it usually discourages people from writing for iOS. That's pretty much all I said (the serious part). In addition to previous, the development tools are also not cross platform and I for sure don't intend to buy a MacBook just to write apps for Apple's shitty platform that lags Android by 5 years... I didn't say your couldn't install apps on iOS, I said there is a good chance that the app will never exist for OBDeleven, simply because Apple doesn't want to support the full Bluetooth protocol.
