Fellow OBD11 users! I just got mine (used the excellent holiday deal which was pretty cool). I'm new to VW with my new-to-me 2003 VW Passat Wagon and brand new to coding (all my previous cars have been pre-OBD).
Finally got a chance to fire it up and try out some of the adaptations / one click apps, and to my great disappointment, there is very little really available in the app (only two one-click apps for things which I didn't need).
I did my research before buying and everything I could find gave me the idea that OBD11 would be (essentially) a more user-friendly alternative to the Ross-Tech solutions, but now I'm wondering if I wasted my money?
Can someone please confirm whether this is possible or not possible in OBD11 (or even in VAG-COM) for my car?
Things I NEED to do:
* Program new key fob (I only got the Valet key when I bought the car and have a couple of key fobs coming in the mail)
Things I would REALLY LIKE to do:
* Integrate rear hatch with central locking (activate hatch button when all doors unlocked, and keep activated until doors locked)
* Windows and Sunroof open/close with keyfob (this seems to be really popular, and for sure I'd like it too, especially being able to roll up if I forgot to)
* "Comfort Blinker" - this is one of my favorite features of new cars.
* Enable Rear fog light (I understand it's done through programming?)
* Fog Lights stay on with high beams
* Change behavior of headlights. Would love to have a more "normal" functioning: all lights off with removal of key; ability to turn on lights but keep engine off (KPI, lights switch on), and ability to turn off lights when engine is on (e.g. stealth cruising; drive in movies, etc).
* Needle Sweep (but I read somewhere that my car doesn't support this, so it's a long shot).
I noticed that there doesn't seem to be much by way of support through these forums, but could someone please help me understand: can I do (some or all) of these with OBDeleven, or do I need to return it and buy the VAG-COM?
Thanks in advance!
