This does work, and the app looks slick, but it's very slow and flaky in use. It usually takes multiple tries and a long wait to connect, recognise the vehicle (this didn't work at all recently, you had to enter the VIN manually and it didn't remember it for next time), and to perform the scan. 20 mins to do a 2 min job. Given that anything other than clearing errors seems to be paid I wish I'd gone for something simpler, cheaper, and more reliable.

Thanks for sharing your experience with our app. Connectivity does have a variety of factors determining its swiftness and seamlesness, including device hardware, car equipment, manufacturing specifics, etc. The Free plan also features access to Live Data, Android Auto support, Mileage & Emissions Checks, and the Car Buying Assistant, and more.

I paid £51 to buy the device, £3 for credits to turn off the annoying, pointless and dangerous lane assist, only for the app to give an error message saying "OCA not supported". On a 2024 VW T-roc, with customer support saying in chat before I bought it that it would work fine with this car (I have a screenshot). They now say a VW security update in 2024 prevents amendment to such controls, so it is of no use whatsover if you want to adjust settings.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We are aware of the ongoing SFD2 security protocol related issues that prevent certain features from working on late 2023 and newer VAG models. It seems that you've been in touch with our support team who've clarified it to you as well. We appreciate your patience as we work with VAG towards a solution.

Good when it works, but very frustrating you can't even view basic vehicle data without an internet connection. I understand it needs to verify the account but does it need to do it every single time? I've purchased the app, credits and the dongle, why must it be verified every single time. Once a month/week/day surely is enough? Can't even perform basic monitoring of temperatures and pressures. Let alone actually fix something if you break down remotely (especially in Australia!)

Hi, Thank you for sharing your feedback—and it’s great to hear that you’re using OBDeleven all the way from Australia! 😊 We understand how frustrating it can be, especially when you’re relying on the app remotely. Still, the app requires an active internet connection to verify your account and provide access to vehicle data and functions.
