Seems the function has been removed with the latest update, but how do I then add a new car?
Kind regards!

New cars can now only be added by connecting to the vehicle.
If this does not work then I am afraid you have to speak with support.

Thats mit nice, that it won't work any more. It was a nice feature to help inside the community for helping with coding.
I wish this back.

The ability to add vehicles in the garage view only by entering of a VIN has always been discussed in car forums (especially in Germany) as a certain security gap and has led to really negative reviews of the OBDeleven application until today.

Then there should be an option to share my car with someone that he can have a look. I didn't think that someone brute force VINs to have a look at the coding

I have not tried it but I am guessing if your friend just connects to your car via OBD11 then he can see the same level of information that he would entering the vin number.

Sorry to hear about the trouble you're facing with adding a new car to your garage. Recently faced the same bug. I'm not sure if this issue has been resolved, but hopefully, someone here can provide an update. By the way, speaking of cars, I recently found myself in a situation where I needed to ship my car. While browsing online, I came across this car shipping company called Cross Country Car Shipping ( www.crosscountrycarshipping.com/). I haven't used their services yet, but they seem reliable and have good reviews. I'm considering giving them a try for my own car transportation needs. Anyway, I'm new to this forum, so thanks for letting me join the conversation.

No, it isn't a bug. The basic option to add a vehicle to the OBDeleven garage only by entering a VIN has already been removed since vers. 0.34.0 for security reasons. See v0.34.0 changelog: forum.obdeleven.com/post/50705/thread

if you want to share your car details you have two options 1/ do a full backup and email it to them 2/ use the person who you are sharing with log in details and connect to your car
Update
One other time you can add a car using the VIN is if you are using the non vag app (what used to be called BMW) and adding a non VAG/BMW Motor then it will ask for the VIN if it cant read it.
