Wont connect

Old app version for VAG works fine but this app won’t connect to my car- the device turns green to show it’s connected yet the app always says failed to connect

Worst OBD Reader for the Value

You need to purchase credits for one click apps, there’s no lifetime option so if you like turning options on and off it will cost a bit of money, not only that but if you want to read codes in a bad situation you need to fully update the device before you can read codes, this is not helpful at all in the middle of nowhere with bad service. Do not rely on this thing for much unless you are lazy and are willing to pay for one click apps rather than to just simply drive to the dealer and have them add these mods in for free.

Cash grab

I used my device and app for the first time in a little while and noticed that things that used to be included as basic are now premium options that require that I upgrade. Not cool.

Not for iOS

This app is garbage if you’re on iOS ..if you are even able to connect, the only features available are the apps you have to pay extra for..garbage.

Headlights on VAG - BROKE THE MODULE

The obdeleven simply broke the IQ Matrix headlight module while covering the faults. None in the market is now willing to help and their support tickets even after paying a heavy pro fee is of waste !

Paywall

Die App ist nur brauchbar, wenn man noch ein Abo abschließt. Was ein Scam! Ich hab doch schon teuer für dieses Auslesegerät bezahlt und jetzt muss ich noch ein Abo abschließen, um zum Beispiel eine neue Batterie anzulernen. Nie wieder OBD11!

We understand your frustration with the additional cost of using certain features. Battery registration can require a compatible plan and, depending on the procedure, may also involve credits. We appreciate that having to pay beyond the device purchase can be disappointing. Please contact our support team with your vehicle details so they can clarify the requirements for your specific battery registration.

Langage français

La nouvelle interface a l’air sympa plus de fonctions mais y a un problème je suis pas bilingue !!! Le français c’est urgent et pas que dans l’interface mais aussi pour les menus one click app. Même dans l’ancienne version le one click app n’était pas traduit c’est pas normal 😡

We understand your frustration with the lack of French support, especially for One-Click App menus as well as the main interface. We’re working to expand language availability and appreciate your feedback that full French localization is important for a better user experience.

Weiß nicht was ich davon halten soll

Verbindet Sicht nicht und Mann muss zu den Gerät was man BEZAHLT HAT noch extra TEUERE ABOS kaufen wenn man die wenigsten 30 Tage Testen könnte weil einige vag Fahrzeuge sich schon allein mit Carly nicht codieren lassen dass Man wenigstens schauen kann was man alles bei sich codieren kann und was auch wirklich funktioniert bevor Mann ins Leere schaut und Geld weg geschmissen hat

We understand your frustration with the subscription requirements, especially when you want to confirm which functions are available for your specific vehicle before committing to a paid plan. Feature availability can vary by vehicle and control unit. Please contact our support team with your vehicle details so they can clarify the supported functions and available options.

It works well had this for about three years!!

Had a rough start to get this established and working. Been great ever since. I know a VW CC sport. Most of the programming works. There was one for the radio that says it’s compatible, but for whatever reason it doesn’t want to change but other than that, it’s been excellent. I wish it was more clear on its upgrades. Do you have to buy another module? Can you upgrade the software in it and it’s not easy to reach out

Hey there, Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like you may have bought our older (white) FirstGen OBDeleven devices which were low and out of stock towards the end of 2023. Please note that these older units only support Android and do not support iOS systems - we try our best to label it thusly on our web-store as well as appoint respective notices on the OBDeleven mobile app too. The latter of which informs users that it only supports newer (black) NextGen devices. Hope that helps you better understand the compatibility of our apps and devices.

We’re sorry to hear that the mix of German and English in the app has made it difficult to use. We understand how frustrating inconsistent language support can be. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with our team as we continue improving the app’s localization.

Won’t connect since new update

Cannot get the new “recommended” app to connect to my phone no matter what. Only the VAG app works at the moment. I’ve logged out, deleted my car from the scanner, reset my Bluetooth, deleted and reinstalled the app, you name it. The new app refuses to connect

We’re sorry you’re having trouble connecting to the new app. We understand you’ve already tried several troubleshooting steps. Please contact our support team with your phone, vehicle, and device details so they can investigate why the new app is not connecting while the VAG app works.

Terrible app for my VW car

I have a MY21 VW car and usually use the VAG version, but the app always asks me to switch to this app. So I gave it a try, and the experience was awful. I always had the issue connecting the OBD device; it always failed to upgrade the device when prompted to, but never had an issue with the VAG version. If you can not make this app work properly, don't prompt the VAG user to switch to this app.

We’re sorry the transition from the VAG app to the new app has been frustrating. The new app is still being developed and improved, and we understand that connection and device update issues can make the experience difficult. Please contact our support team with your vehicle and device details so they can investigate the issues you’re experiencing.

Price

Look, I get it. Trying to get the most out of the program and features… I’ve had OBD11 for a long time. These prices are out of control for what’s actually available. At least for my 2017 Audi that I’m paying 2025 prices for. Can only do so much with old tech. Don’t mean I should pay more for it. Just saying

Response from developer

We understand where you're coming from, especially as a long-time OBDeleven user. Vehicle age can affect the range of functions available, as capabilities depend on the control units and technology installed in a particular model. However, the subscription price is not based on the age of the vehicle. It provides access to the available Pro features across supported vehicles, including manual coding, adaptations, and other advanced diagnostic functions where supported. We appreciate your feedback.

Significantly worse than the VAG app

Riddled with nudges/ads for their AI features or to upgrade your subscription (even when already pro??).

Drops the connection to the OBDeleven connector when the VAG version of the app still works without issue.

Everything is harder to find in this version. The app is more focused on people interested in using it to track the gas usage than people actually working on their car that need long coding to reset service intervals or battery configuration.

It is a shame the VAG version of the app is pushing us to this version. Will probably just get VCDS instead of renewing pro again.

We understand your preference for the VAG app and appreciate the detailed feedback. Please contact our support team regarding the connection issue so they can offer troubleshooting assistance.

Latest update has killed it.

Since the latest update the car scanner will not remain attached to the Bluetooth on my iPhone 15
