OBDeleven – OBD2 car scanner

SFD2 - when is this being resolved?

update, update, update!! give me a break already

super

Not working with Older Devices. Features and UI wise great app but does not connect my 4 year old first gen device. Apparently, This app does not support older devices. The device works fine with the older app and not worth buying a new one jist for the app. Would have been better could connect to older devices as well. I have the first gen White dongle for VW.

like it usual from my VW golf so many apps to apply and good for monitoring car faults

Not a useful tool for mk6 tdi. Poor user interface, very limited live data, no gauges, and limited diagnostics. I purchased the PRO plan thinking there was more to the app that I was missing, nope just an extra waste of money. Spend a few extra bucks for VCDS for VAG functions and get a cheap diagnostic dongle for simple CEL codes.

I initially left a negative review since the device didn't support my 2003 VW Golf Mk4 when I bought it and tried this app. I had to use their older VAG app which is nowhere near as nice as this one. As of today, the new app works on my car. Not sure if they saw my negative review or not. 5 stars now because it works as expected.

too damn expensive. Pay for plan and still pay for credits.

Very disappointed!!! No value for this money. Almost each function which is not useless costs you additionally. You paid 90+ euros for that OBD2 scanner and you're not even able to reset the oil change interval for free. I'm not even talking about adaptation and changing values manually... You promised battery checks for hybrids last year and now it appears that you need a new OBD3 scanner. Nice job! And the final part, I paid for the service interval change and it didn't work properly.

Perfect

great app I love it 😀

The features not worth the steep price. I can't even see the camshaft/crankshaft readings, which, on a VW golf, is the one thing I actually needed to look at. not all this junk about custom screens or colors. waste of space, a wired one of amazon will cost more upfront but will last a lifetime and not need a recurring subscription.

almost 4 months into an infinite login loop. paid for the app and the device and cant even login. multiple, multiple attempts to fix it. nada

I've been using mine for years. I own two separate VW's, the one click apps are amazing. While it isn't the fastest reader out there, my Blue Driver reads, scans, and clears MUCH faster, for VW group vehicles, this is basically the next best thing to having a dealer level scan tool.

Doesn't work as advertised. £75+ for pro subscription but doesn't actually do many of the claimed customisations and won't provide a refund. Don't waste your money if you have a new car. Basically a scam.

overly expensive to perform basic functions using credits (window initialisation is 10 credits, they dont tell you that you can initialise windows from the switch pack, you dont need anything, yet these want to charge you for that) and anything useful is locked behind a subscription, better off just buying vcds and using that, does everything the app can do and its a one off payment and then its yours for life, this app just takes advantage of those that are in the dark

With this app, you cannot get vehicle module data for previously connected vehicles if they were disconnected. using the old VAG app, which was much better at keeping module data history.long coding adaptation you wont get in this app you always need connection for it .

Long time user, but over the years, the developer has cut off basic functions in order to sell upgrades. I'm not having it any longer. I refuse to support a developer with questionable ethics.

It does give me the ability to unlock SFD2 for tuning, but everything's blocked behind paywalls. You have to pay $100 for the dongle and then another $100 as a yearly subscription for pro to unlock features beyond basic diagnostics. You have to buy/ use credits every time you make a change with one click apps unless you know long coding and adaptations (which I know a bit of). Just make the dongle and service a one time payment. I'm sick of seeing everything be a greedy subscription model.

Useless from my point of view. The main reason for me to use OBD Eleven was to check live data of my VW GTI. In this app, the live data is limited to a few (mostly useless metrics). You can't check the timing stretch anymore, the requested torque, the camshaft position sensors. Anything that could actually be useful. Worst of all, I was happily using the VAG specific app, where all those features were available, but I can't use it anymore because OBD forces us to use this app instead, pathetic!

Bought 100 credits pro pack. No credits in sight.

Great app, works with my MK5 Golf R32

This new app won't connect to my vehicle, the old VAG app works fine

anything you do on the obd scanner you have to pay. extortion at its finest😈

Waste of time now. This app worked perfectly when I first bought it. Able to unlock features for my own car, as well as diagnostics and fault clearing. This even worked on all other makes of car. Now? Waste of storage space in my phone. Doesn't even connect to it via Bluetooth anymore, let alone find or clear faults. What they want is for me to upgrade to their newer, more expensive model. Absolutely no chance. Zero loyalty to OBDeleven now. I'll go and get and wired OBD reader from Amazon now

big help

after update dosent connect

-25'Tiguan Unlock please, one-click apps are wanted very much. -Also remove "Authenticator" is a headache... must have a glitch or bug.

Great device indeed

The new app interface is nice. That being said, I had the original app and OBD adapter. I had full access before to set basic settings and so forth. That app no longer functions, so being forced to use the new app and having to pay a yearly subscription for the functions I originally had is extremely unfortunate. Maybe consider grandfathering in original users.

great bit of kit

Neat, but absolutely egregious and predatory pricing for any real use out of the app/device. $280/yr now because it supports multiple manufacturers? Why should I have to pay for support for cars I don't have? And no lifetime plans? Or if we don't want to pay the outrageous subscription fee, making users pay for apps again just to reapply them, even when they've already been paid for and used? If you're trying to force customers away from your products/service, this is an excellent way to do it.

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!)

all is well and good

This is an excellent tool for your VAG vehicle DIY work.

fantastic bit of kit

fake fuel tracking based on estimation. also gps tracking not relared to obd2 at all but only the phone..... what a game why you force usto buy obseleven 3 for nothing

Terrible app, very difficult to use, constantly trying to upsell me and buy credits. All I wanted to do was reset a service light.

OBDEleven app implied I needed a Pro account to access a feature it did not actually have, which is a misleading practice. The OBDEleven VAG app UI prompted me to download the non-VAG app, which wasn't actually necessary. The UI uses a false and misleading practice to drive users to a Pro account, yet no resolution was caused by the Pro accoubt, and in fact the Pro features promised did not exist. A fee is not valid because of one use when the use is how a user determines value.

purchase options are limited

very nice and awesome happenings supper handy!!!

grand little unit well worth it 😁👍

The app is useless for me as it needs an Internet connection to work. The support bot said it would work, but it does not, it does the scan then says "unable to load home - no internet. I was halfway through the support case then it said support "we will be back online tomorrow". Nothing but a bad experience.

the switch to a pro plan subscription service makes this device not worth the price point. get VCDS instead and save yourself a lot of money in the long run

disaster. cannot connect to ODBeleven device(tried on 3 different phones - different Android and Bluetooth versions)

spend over £100 on an OBD reader, just to get trapped with a paid app at the end. well done dicks

Fantastic turned off warning lights on car it's fantastic

will not connect with my device

The new app is much slower than old one and missing many important things - 1 good example OIL TEMP!!! (This is in VAG app on the same car). The new app is reading modules 10x longer/slower than old app. Do not recommend to use new app if you have VAG app.

love this ODB scanner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❤️🔥

The old app allows for long coding. The new app wants you to pay a subscription for what used to work fine. Response: Then stop showing constant popups trying to drive me to the new app. The lifetime subscription was the only reason OBD11 was worth buying over Vagcom to begin with. The new subscription system is a scammy setup and not worth it.

nie polecam, nie kulujcie tego!!!! za wszystko trzeba placic do tego apka sie nie laduje przez polowe czasu.

just buy vcds. it's almost always impossible to find the procedure to do the most basic stuff that's already well documented in vcds. try turning off the soundaktor without buying some stupid app. impossible...

rubbish

constantly having to pay to use features

great

so far has helped me diagnose a faulty air con resistor and cleared the annoying service light and chime and only had it a few days

Looks better than the VAG app, however it misses one big no brainer feature that makes me want to stay on the old app: Searching through live data to select the one I want.

App looks good on the surface. I live in North America and the app won't switch to miles instead of kilometers. There is also very little custom apps for my car. Kind of disappointed...

great

the newest version of the app and dongle work well just a little slow

Requires their obd2 device!

Bought it to delete start and stop feature. Turns out it is 100 credits and does not work on my A4 B9. Might use it again for battery replacement to register the new one. Fairly easy to use application and OBDELEVEN is plug and play, no instructions needed.

Live data is not live, only single value captured. Also some nonsense values. Specifically ABS speed sensors, in Brakes system only show a single initial value and don't update. OBD eleven VAG app does it live.

this app is advertised in ObdEleven VAG as a next step--> improvement. But honestly it is downgrade. You can't even filter live data. You have to scroll through just to find what you need. Report costs credits. In VAG app you could see last live data even if you are disconnected. Here it is not possible. And it would be cool that app would have live data recording.

never got the scanner

the setup is terrible. the help desk was hopeless. you need to update via the old app then switch to this one and only updates over mobile data and not WiFi. a terrible start.

had to pay before anything so I uninstalled it B4 anything happened

I bought this tool just to program a factory radio that I added but had to pay another $84 to do what the tool advertised it would do.

love it 😁

removing stuff that used to be included in the old app with the device for a new expensive subscription model

A recent update has lead to not being given time stamp data of codes, and often I can't find apps I need, but I've already bought the device, so I'm kinda committed.

the fact that i need to pay annually instead of monthly and have to pay to change my battery when it dies is what got me. standing out in 100 degree heat trying to figure out why i need to pay $85 for my new battery to work properly...... that's insane

great stuff

Disappointing experience. OBDeleven claims to be one of the best diagnostic tools for VW/Audi, yet it failed to clearly identify a basic ABS G44 wheel speed sensor fault on my car. A cheap scanner that cost around €5 for lifetime use detected it immediately. For a premium tool, this is hard to justify. Also, even with OBDeleven Plus, many functions still require credits.

Replaced the battery skoda kodiaq , it's not clearing faults, even that reprogrammed new battery voltage.

The app worked years ago, they are ruining it more and more with every update. I had time to write this review just waiting for my car's data to load, still nothing. I just need to se 3 parameters but cant because it just sais loading live data. But since customers have allready paid for the scanner. They dont care how bad it is.

Does this app supports the 1st generation OBDeleven dongle? I updated my app to this and it wasn't detecting my dongle.

Amazing product. Has the ability to clear codes on the fly. This has been a life changer!

does its job. if I would recommend this, buy one with unlimited credits if you can spend upfront. personally I just needed the basic functions.

very bad experience with VW ID4. even if there are active errors (SOS issue) - device says "no faults" after 4 scans in a row. while trying to check for live data in telematics - it just stays in "loading, it might take few moments" for ages without any results. i tried few times a day, once waited for more than 20 minutes with no result. very bad experience

Excellent app! Covers 99% of what you need to do with your vehicle. Definitely recommend!

fantastic diagnostic service 👏

paywall and it wants you to pay for a full year

Scam / ultimate greedynes Where did the lifetime PRO go? Really shady way of doing business: promising lifetime and within a few years basically dropping you... Be warned and go for VCDS if you want a trustworthy company. Really really disappointed in this company....

too much money for very few actual services

Obd dongel wont update, waste of money

Must have for VW owner. especially on MQB platform

Bummer, they are stopping support and development of the old VAG app asking users to migrate but I can't connect the original first generation OBDeleven device using the new app. Which connects perfectly to the original VAG app, at least for now.

Its a great app, great device, although I'm disappointed that a lot of features are disabled for the Free version even though the device costed me 200 dollars canadian. Would have been nice to get more features with the free version, because unfortunately now I have to purchase at least the PRO version subscription to be able to do what I want with my car.

What happened to Lifetime VAG PRO??? Why did you move me to this app and want money to use it on my VAG cars??? Also, most of the One click app don't work here, but worked on the VAG app. What a joke! 90 euro is too much for for a DIY who might need the pro features once in a while. There should be a monthly EVEN weekly access.

I bought the OBD11 a few years back, I haven't needed it since then. now I need it and Long Coding is behind a paywall. another company taking away options that you once had now it's useless unless you pay. stay away.

Do not buy from these scammers, they removed features from the old app, forcing you to use this app, in order to prevent people who paid for lifetime access to those features from using them

How my OBD Eleven device became obsolete, still baffles me. How will it expire?

still a great app but Please bring back the option where you can post a picture of your car to its profile!!!!

What a waste of money! First you have to buy the device at great expense and then you still have to buy credits or get the yearly subscription in order to do anything. Only the fault scanning feature is available without an additional purchase.

Rip off First you buy the tool then almost every function is paywalled. adaptations should be free

not everything works. example, the break release use to work on my mk8 gti. after a few updates, service is nolonger supported.

unable to log in works on the VAG variant just not this one, go to log in and it just refreshes the page as if you never even tried

Learning how these work, never used one before. Clears faults well.

Account login didn't work so the app and the device is unusable without successful login. A store bought a device can't be used unless the company's servers are online and reachable? This is unacceptable, even more so in the EU.

The app for Hyundai owners is completely useless You can't adjust any settings on the car, you can't turn off the annoying beeping, and you can't change anything—the dongle and app just check the engine; there's nothing else you can do. Both the device and the app are completely useless

I am extremely disappointed in this device which has so much potential. After seeing many reviews, I decided the OBDeleven seemed the best device for coding my Audi, even with the CAD158 price tag. However, I now see there was a policy change in 2025 and every feature has been locked out, except fault reporting. Remaining features show an upsell popup. I need to spend over CAD100 just to use the features that were free a year ago. I now realize I should have bought the VCDS adaptor instead.

Have orignal OBD11 for VAG. They depricating the old software force users on to the new universal version of the APP which refuses to let me login, no matter how many times I attempt a password reset. Thank you for making the thing I paid $80 hard to use.

OFC you need a subscription!!! I bought this just to do a 12v battery adaptation on my VW ID, so not only 90eur + shipping for the OBD3 but now I need a Pro plan to change 1 number.... naturally you cannot buy 1 month you need to pay for a full year... so to change my car from 70Ah to 52Ah, a total of 140 EUR was needs to be paid

Used it to read faults and service brakes. Unfortunately, it requires Internet to work, which is a major pain in residential underground parking, where mobile reception is poor. The developer's feedback about this situation is unconvincing. Subtracting more stars because there is no option to undo the operation of an app, if it causes problems, unless you pay again to change to the previous setting. Frankly, the entire thing exudes thirst for money, instead of customer satisfaction.

It's really gready if you consider that you pay for the device already and have to pay even more in their app just to change settings. Like buying BF6 and needing to buy content later. Hate these monetization strategies. Worst decision to purchase that thing. I recommend investing in a VCDS. Onetime purchase for a lifetime, and most importantly full control.

There should not be a conditional scanning feature upon connecting the device. I should be able to have a basic connection to the car without scanning every time I open the app. Please make scanning a skippable option and find a way to code a basic tether to the ECU until I want to scan the entire car. Because of a supposedly "failed" module in my car, the app and OBD device are useless, as it fails to complete scanning every time I do a scan.

got it Dec 6, bought 100 credits and worked to change one setting worth 10 credits. tried connecting again a week later and it refused to connect and redirected me to open in the VAG app which worked wonderfully but requires yearly membership to do the same thing I already bought credits for in the other app. I have 90 credits left that have now become useless somehow. tried all the solutions suggested to no avail. It looks to me like theft along with "bait and switch".

will uninstall and keep using the VAG version. the app prompted me to use this new "and improved" version but I can't even access prior scans/history within the garage menu. overall it seems to be slower as well. what's the point of this one

I don't have a real problem with the app itself it's the billing process that I updated my software and it registered four debits to my card for one purchase and I don't know whether I can get my money back or not. otherwise this is a wonderful investment no matter what you driving. ❤️

Will not get past the authentication phase, just sits there... No issue with the VAG version. EDIT: In repsonse to OBDeleven, I bought the hardware, it should be functional without an Internet connection. This thing is useless!

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.

FYI regarding older OBDeleven Bluetooth dongles... I couldn't use this app with my older dongle to connect to a 2011 E70 BMW X5. My unit is likely a Gen-1 model as it's all white and has no version or serial number markings on it. It works fine with the OBDeleven VAG app for Volkswagen-Audi Group vehicles, but Customer Support confirmed one of their later generation dongles is required to use this app with BMW's. The older dongles may work with this app and non-VAG/non-BMW makes, I don't know.

Please please developers, give us a menu just like the VAG version. I want to be able to change the orientation and background and such. I loved using the tool for my Audi, but using it for my BMW has been more difficult, especially with my static mounted tablet.

cannot even get through the login. The app forces you to login to use the scanner, and after doing so it changes to a loading screen gif with three dots and the menu options no longer work. if you force close the app after waiting for any amount of time when you open it again it gets stuck on the black and white logo for OBDeleven and you have to un install and re install the app for it to work again. Force closing and even a phone restart do not fix it. I can log into the VAG version fine.

plugged my NEWLY bought OBDEleven 3 in the car and tried with the VAG variant but it was pointing me to this app. I try to use the device with this app and guess what? "This app only works with NextGen devices"? is there a third app or something? guess not pls fix this. So far terrible user experience with this company

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for BMW.Very limited and very basic. Apparently, it works better for VW.For instance, DPF can not be displayed live or to show soot or ash level.Needs improving. Well, if it does support, as you say.Can you send a link to how to doit.My car is BMW X1 F48 2018 and for U.K.

I paid $150 for their product to turn off the fake engine noise. I go through the nightmare setup and login procedure only to find out that it doesn't do any of the cool things that YouTube shows you for a 24 gti complete waste of money and time Here's a fun game for you delete your browser history before using the app and after you get sent to their website for the login go check how many websites are on your history my top # is 35

Spams with stupid notifications like "scan your car now" and there's almost no support of Audi: no coding/adaptation (it wasn't even able to detect a car and asked for a VIN number, while the VAG app worked fine), yet being promoted as a "newer and better" app.

Paid for the device and two hundred extra credits, they never sent me the activation code for the device and I still haven't gotten my two hundred extra credits. I have repeatedly emailed them and texted with them and all I get is some kind of AI response. They could care less about their customers; or they're just scamming them. DO NOT BUY!!

this has to be the worst app I have ever used i paid 94.00 for the obd2 scanner then 74.60 for the pro subscription and I only need it to do one thing and that was to code my new battery for my audi q7 and the update for the app made it hard to even know what was going on to even start you pay all this money just to waste it and the customer service is garbage as well and now they want refund me for the subscription just because I downloaded loaded it feels like a scam out of a year for this

Bought the pro reader for my VW. Trying to connect to the car was an exercise in frustration. Took many attempts to actually get it to connect to the car and perform functions. I sold the VW and got a Land Rover so I figured I'd try this app as a generic OBD reader since I paid for the dongle already and it's the same issues. Also can't even clear codes. Save your $80 and buy another OBD reader.

The previous app had been working great, this is clearly a money grab attempt by making people use new worse app while they disable the previous app that was working perfectly fine. I do not support such business decisions and will be looking elsewhere. Also the new app does not even load up without an Internet connection completely useless.

used to be good but now after paying for pro it runs out even though I have 180 credits 30 of which have been lost as I seem to be getting a ocd fault just trying to change rear break pads. Reinstalled the app as the vag one seems locked out now and clear cache etc and nothing works as I tested day before but now it seems locked out making it useless 😑 sadly will be looking at alternatives after it being great as I had a year of 2 hiatus with cars.

was working perfectly fine. now it doesn't connect to my phone so it's basically useless anymore. good luck trying to find any form of customer support to get some help. I would have given 5 stars if bot for this issue.

Piece of garbage. Most of paid features are already available in MMI system settings. There are only a few features that you can't activate through the MMI and they start at 100 credits which is $25-$30 . Not worth it at all. There used to be a so many free features about 3 years ago but the new odb eleven device is completely useless unless you are willing to pay $30 for each feature.

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.

Promises and advertising,but in reality is just a regular OBD scanner. On top of that every adjustment needs payment,and it's not cheep at all for a trivial things.For the price of the Ultimate plan you can just buy a VCDS and do what you want. Sorry if You don't like it, but that's the reality.

Not working with Renault Captur 2014. Bought it specifically for this car as on youtube you advertised that this dongle works on all cars - what a lie. When I press connect the app finds the car and starts scanning control units and just disconnects right away without any notifications. It works okay with VW cars, but I have VCDS for it as everything is free and no subscriptions required

So forced to use new app why? Then my old login doesn't work why? Can't create new account but somehow I am already logged in. Then try to connect to obd11 and app asks me to login again. What an utter junk made this device useless. You get 0 of my euro ever again.

The support team is not help you with anything. I command the OBD, 3 month's ago and I still didn't get it and when I ask for a refund, they didn't respond and I still waiting. I updated to 1 star because i think it's 4 month's and I still didn't receive a refund.

The second app for BMW cars does not accept my login details. It used to work. I reloaded app, nothing doing. I've reset my password numerous times. Now i have a piece of equipment i paid that i cannot use. I have since installed the previous version of the software, now it is working. I will have to wait for an update.

The VAG app was pretty robust and you could do long coding too. This one, besides forcing you into buying a new dongle, it's rather useless on anything else beyond VAG for the simple reason that live data isn't available in the EU. I wish I knew that. Then is the way credits are used. When you started this project, we the enthusiasts tested and enjoyed some flexibility. Now, it's 10 credits to pick the batt type, 10 for install and 10 to reset. Your business model forces me out of your user base

Be very careful. Updating the app may make things very useless. No longer supports the 70USD original dongle. Especially when the app update happens in the middle of working on the car. Time to move on. Stay away.

Customer service is a joke. One txt message is all I received from these. They are no help for anything, I like the app. I like things it can help with my car . For the app, I give 5 stars but the help/Customer service part of this is not even worth on star. They cannot even get a refund correct.

Vag group mechanic here. Brilliant app use it nearly everyday with one of the early obdeleven dongles i have had for 5or6 years( i do want to try one of the newer devices when i can afford it, unless obdeleven might consider sending me one 😉). Sometimes needing the internet connection be a pain in some areas for me, maybe an offline option might be an idea for future

Resetting the service light costs in app currency. Something I would be completely ok with if the app cared to check on the success of the operation before taking my credits. Just sell a premium version of the app that allows all of the service functions. You want to continue to innovate for future models? Sell a separate app to those who care about enabling those extra features on their cars. Just wanted to add that I can reset this service light without obd, why is this a paid feature?

Older app works for VAG Group Cars, this one doesn't even recognize my car. So it seems it is normal, but still very confusing to have two apps. Can't give a better score for this one as I never tried it with an non-VAG group car. Support seems to answer fast though and the other app works fine.

Awful app. It doesn't recognise the vin to my 2017 BMW and says it's learning more about this model, you've had 7 years to learn about it. Some screens (such as when making a payment) you can't exit out of unless you force close the app.

I bought the device because it said it supports Toyota, when i try to connect to the car it doesnt detect it and asks for VIN number, when i enter the VIN it says Something Went Wrong. The app plus the device doesnt work as it is documented on the internet, I eas scammed.

Will not accept a password when an account is created. Tried a couple of times to reset a password but it doesn't allow you in.
