Provides dealer level / OE (original equipment) comprehensive diagnostics ( ALL systems scanning, read / clear fault codes on ABS, Multimedia, Electronics, Transmission etc) for VAG group cars (Audi, Volkswagen, SEAT, SKODA) from 1996 to the present. It will even work on some VAG cars pre-1996 providing you use the 2×2 adaptor If you’re looking for a small OBD Bluetooth scanning device that can display and clear faults, allow code changes and provide some general Adaptations, then this is probably the way to go. But if you need a device that can really do some serious diagnostics, and has excellent tech support, spend the money and go with Ross-Tech VCDS After you enter and register the code, the word “PRO” will appear on your image (outlined in red) OBDeleven – Connecting to your Car The OBDeleven is supplied in a small, rugged box that’s less than three inches wide and long and a little over one inch deep. The device is very small, being the width of the OBDII port and a little over one inch deep. Consequently, the keyring attachment comes in useful if you don’t intend to keep it in the box. It also potentially helps with pulling the device out of the OBDII port because once inserted, it’s awkward to remove.

Beware of ‘OBD2II’ tools claiming to offer car diagnostics, such tools are only capable of reading generic OBD2II engine and emissions related fault codes. NOT in-depth dealer level scanning of ALL modules and manufacturer related fault codes. This is the reason why dealer level / OE tools cost thousands of pounds.

Genuine and official OBDeleven, European made scanner with official OBDeleven after sales support and 1 year warranty. NOT a grey market import or a fake unlike many others scanners. He has kindly given me permission to post it on this blog. The OBDeleven toolis something I have been meaning to look in to for a while and thought it may be helpful to others who may be thinking about buying one for their own car. Effortless fault code clearing – diagnose faults, determine their severity, clear them and continue driving without issues. Technology has improved our vehicles and changed the way we interact with them, requiring advanced equipment to understand their needs. That's why we’ve developed evolutionary diagnostic tool – OBDeleven. Device that lets you easily connect to the car, monitor all systems and activate various comfort features.

The only thing you're paying for is for them to send you a printed code on a piece of paper, which they may or may not remember to include. The ULTIMATE version of this smart Bluetooth device goes a step further and for more advanced users offers all features of dealer level equipment: access to a wide range of diagnostic information including advanced control unit diagnostic information, sub-control unit information, control unit resets, adaptation, settings and output testing, and other features for all VAG group cars: Audi, Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda At the time of this writing, I uploaded and ran the OBDeleven App on an Asus ME173X tablet running Android 4.2.2. There were no issues with the performance of the App or paring to the dongle. Connecting via iPhone hotspot worked fine. The OBDeleven needs a compatible device and the App to run, but does have to have internet or WiFi access. The VCDS requires a laptop to run their proprietary software on a Windows platform and updates are free of charge.

Although it’s advertised to perform Adaptations, ( https://obdeleven.com/en/content/7-app-and-features) the OBDeleven is not capable of resolving all Adaptations and Basic settings. Although these features are easier to do with the Pro version, there are limits. For Roadster owners, the OBDeleven isn’t going to help if you have a soft top failure and want to sort it out yourself. The OBDeleven does have it’s advantages in terms of ease of use, price point and flexibility for those comfortable with smart devices and Apps. And while it can do many of the things a more expensive VCDS can do, there are limits (and additional costs) even with the Pro version. For anyone trying to decide between a VCDS and OBDeleven device, it will depend on what you need to do, what you’re willing to pay and how comfortable you are with the user interface. Next step is to pair the dongle with your device. This isn’t essential but it makes the connection much faster each time you use OBDeleven. Search for Bluetooth devices in your settings app and if requested, pair using Bluetooth code 1234. Running OBDeleven – How to Although not specifically Detailing Related, this fantastic review was submitted over on the Audi TT Forums by a long-standing member – SwissJetPilot.Engine-related fault diagnostics – scan & read fault codes stored in a vehicle's engine control unit and identify the fault cause from OBDeleven's entire fault database information. As a diagnostic scanner, the OBDeleven does the job, and for some cars can provide a comprehensive assessment. If you want more, you have to pay for it. Otherwise, it’s a useful scanner should you need it and comes with a two-year warranty. In terms of size, the OBDeleven is small enough to toss in your glove box so you always have it handy. The VCDS Hex V2 cable on the other hand, is too large for the glove box, so I store mine in it’s case, in the trunk or under the seat. Once the App is paired and connected you may be presented with a request for the VIN. This is not required and can be skipped. The screen will display a menu list on the left and a “Connect” prompt on the right. Tap “Connect” and wait.
