Hello all.
New to the forum and New to OBD 11 so please be gentle.
I paid £80 for the device and then it turns out I needed to pay another £70 to get the pro subscription and then when I try and make some changes like permanently turn off lane assist, I have to pay more money to get credits. Is this correct? Seems like an absolute rip-off if that’s the case.

OBD11 for VAG comes in three different setups.
1/ The Basic Model - Same Dongle but this application gives you some read features like Live Data / Charts etc but you can only make changes using credits and one click apps.
2/ Pro Version - Same as above but you can also code the changes manually for no extra cost
3/ Ultimate Version - As above (except all one click apps are free) but you can also build your own one click apps so if you do stuff on a regular basis you can speed up the coding changes.
So if you have Pro or Ultimate then you don't need to pay anything extra to make changes to a VAG Vehicle. You just have to code it yourself.
Further if you have the basic plan, check if there is a one click app to do what you want, if there is not you can always request one to be built.

Hi Chesterflaps. You can use one-click apps for this which can be used after buying some credits. That’s the easiest method. At least when it works! I had the 'light version’ unit too but had it send back because for me it didn’t work (although it should) for my Cupra Leon ST. I've tried a *.apk (android) file too which gave me the pro version but didn’t work either with the one-clicks apps. So I send it back and got my money back. I found some guy online who rented out his pro version so I have it for a week now. Bought some credits on his account but they didn’t work either for my car although the SFD security was turned off. Therefore I tried the long coding part which is supported in the pro version. It actually sounds more difficult than it is. You just need some more time to look for the options you want. I wanted a couple of things but not all of them did work. Only the lane assist part I got the way I wanted (set to last memory). It stays off now even after restarting the car. For most cars after 2020 you need to turn off afd security. They say it should be turned off automatically when using one-clicks app but the one-click apps part didn’t work for me anyway so I cannot confirm. So you got 4 options: - Buy 10 credits and see if turning off the lane assist with the one-click apps work for you (10 credits only cost 2 or 3 bucks). If it works, you can buy more credits for other options.
- Buy a pro license and do the long coding which is indeed much more expensive
- Send back the unit and get your money back. Find someone who can do it for you for around 50 bucks. (Lots of people bought this unit like we did and never use it again. Some of them want to make money out of it by doing the coding for other people).
- If you are using an android phone; try to look for an obdeleven pro.apk file and install it. Turn off the afd security and see if you can do the long coding part. You can find it under the blue ball with the white line in the lower right corner. After turning it off you can go to long.coding under the dashboard settings option (I guess) to find the right setting. (Every main setting has his own part for long coding. The part you need to look for is named (at least for my car): Configuration_for_lane_departure_warning_KL15 and needs to be set to ‘ last_setting
Good luck and I hope this helps you.
Best Regards,
Danny (The Netherlands)

I presume you can connect to your car if so did you open bonnet otherwise you can't code. If you did connect did you get an error message
