Hi,
Pretty new to this.
Do you require a particular amount of credits for OBDeleven to work for coding adaptations?
Every code option I've tried to use on my 2019 VRS 245 does not work. This is SO frustrating after buying the PRO device.
The apps seem OK, but absolutely nothing on coding with adaptation.
I'm long pressing the green button and it's saying successful, but am I missing something?
Many thanks for any help

If you have a pro lenience then you don't need credits unless you are using apps (which for the most part i would ignore and do manual coding).
What code options have you done (that did not work), What car do you have (if its an Audi do you have the bonnet open) Have you checked your history to see if the changes have been applied.

Cheers. The car is in the original post. I'll need to look at the history as I've not used it before.

I've looked in the history and there's a list of everything that's been attempted. Is there any indication if they've been applied?

From my experience if you make a change and it says accepted on the change screen then you will see it in the history (as this is history of the changes you have made) if when you went to make the change and you get an error then you wont see anything in history.
So the problems that could happen would be
1/ The change is accepted and made but you don't notice any difference, an example of this is the beep on locking / unlocking the car, in the pre facelift model this was a loud noise on the facelift cars you cant hear anything.
2/ The function is no longer working, an example of this would be stop start - VAG have put coding in the firmware so that the old coding whilst you can apply it makes no difference
3/ Some changes are only good for the current time as soon as you recycle the ignition they revert an example of this is the power steering on with no engine
4/ Changes are made but dont work because you dont have the required elements this will be shown up when you run a scan it will show you an error.
I am sure there may be more Features but could you confirm what changes you were trying to make to see if that gives us any clue

Are you sure? My recollection is more like OP's observation; that is, the OBD11 history records are populated with "change attempts", rather than only with "successful changes".
I happen to know for a fact that this is certainly true for VCDS, and I suspect that it's also true for OBD11.
My suspicion is that the record is written to the history file, just after the user presses the GO button (the tick) because this is the last opportunity for the software to get the "old value" (because the "old value" is written-over by the "new value" in the module). If I'm correct (and just like with VCDS), the history records don't happen to know if the change was successful- I think?
I can't be 100% certain, but I think that I have seen consecutive history records in which the same "old value" appears in both records - despite the first record saying that it's been changed

Don, I personally have never seen a failed attempt leave a trace in History but i will go have a look at it on Friday and will ask the support team as well

I've followed a couple of examples to activate the cornering fog lights on my car, with zero results. Also, tried to code the fogs to illuminate with main beam flash, again with zero results.

Don response from support: checked with the developers and its saved only when you apply the changes successfully in the control unit. but we have all seen odd stuff in history before.

Have you run a scan to see if you have any errors being reported.
Could you share the coding change you made for the fog lights (any will do just to check out if there are different coding options on the web).
Cheers

No teaching just sharing information.
I was lucky my assumption proved to be correct.

I've followed a couple of examples to activate the cornering fog lights on my car, with zero results. Also, tried to code the fogs to illuminate with main beam flash, again with zero results. ^^ ^^ First, my advice is to NEVER use Apps; always do these tweak manually - because you learn how to use your device, you avoid the situation where the history records are not updated (it happens with Apps) and you save yourself the credits!! I understand that your car has LED front fogs. Only if my assumption is correct - try changing the Leuchte-sets for the 2 x front fogs like this (for both cornering lights AND main-beam flash): In adaptations for the Central electrics module (@ hex09)

Hi Don,
Duplicated your instructions above but nothing works...

^^^^^^^perfectpacman15:huh?
I've been responding to forum requests (here and on other forums) for many years now and the one thing that I have recognized is the importance of information from the person requesting assistance in trying to remotely help. I stopped a long time ago trying to second guess what's happening on a car to which I have no access - in a garage somewhere -probably on the other side of the world how am I meant to reply to a pithy response like "Duplicated your instructions above but nothing works... "? I need some concrete explanation that tells me what precisely happened when you implemented my suggestion - something like what lighting functions work/didn't work, any errors, what light switch positions you tried - anything really that enables someone sitting in front of his laptop in Australia to understand what happened would be useful!!

I again, copied your instructions above to the letter, and NOTHING that I requested (fog lamp flash or cornering function worked) I have no knowledge of how to code, but I'm an easy going guy who appreciates being spoken to like a person and not an idiot.

OK - I'm happy with that response (thank you). There are lots of far more helpful forum colleagues here that I hope will chime-in. Anyhow, good luck with fixing your problem - sorry we couldn't do it together!!
