Yea did that already. Didn't spot the 18x speed increase claim (cheers). Looks like iOS is another aspect, but apart from being a in a new flashy black box, there doesn't seem to be a lot to justify the price increase. The Pro is almost 40 Euro more expensive than the old version.

I’m always curious and also a sucker for the new technology, so I’ve bought the OBD11 at the beginning and I’m sure I didn’t pay anywhere near to $160 , more like 1/2 of it, for the PRO version and I’ll buy the new ver.2 dongle once available.

But, for the enthusiast who doesn’t want to spend a lot, here is the thought and of course it depends how long we can use the ver.1 of the OBD11 for.

The VCDS used the same cable for a very long time, like 20years or so. I hope the OBD11 won’t require to buy a new dongle every 2 or so years, but it will be definitely limited to the technology in the phones it connects to. While the useful life of the phone/tablet is shorter than win pc op system.

Does anyone know if the new dongle will also connect to pc?

Dont know any more than whats been published I did get a mail with an exploded view and thats where it said it was 18 times faster. If anyone signed up for preorder they would have got the same.

I wont be buying a new one as apparently the programming hasnt changed, seems just the hardware which hopefully is backwardly compatible and any future apps will also work with the old one


As they are Android based it seems doubtful they would work with a PC. Who knows?????

New one does iOS (but only read and clear error codes to start with), up to 18 times faster, and can do other manufacturers

Thanks for the update. They must have just got in some stock of the V1.
I've ordered one - price seems reasonable. At least it's coming out of Melbourne and not from Europe.

So for those of us who have the original OBD11 dongle, will it continue to work, or are they phasing out support for it, in favour of the newer version?
