OBDEleven in Oz

[Giskard]

Hi all,

im looking at getting an OBDEleven (link below), but have a couple of questions before I pull the trigger.
Will this work with the 7.5 Golf or 7 only?
The site below provides some credits, but indicates that extra credits can’t be purchased in Australia. Does that render the device useless once the credits are consumed?

apologies for the rookie questions.

Once ya work out using it you wont need the apps or the credits and its just a matyer of finding the mods via research and following the instructions...

I pulled the trigger two weeks back for my Golf 7.5
works a treat, and all long coding etc can still be used without credits. Credits are to buy their mini app options inside the app itself.

well worth the effort

I was able to purchase more credits a few months back. Maybe a recent change, but I did have to hunt around for the apk to install.

I've got an older Micro-CAN interface; would it be beneficial to also get an OBDEleven to cover any gaps the older Ross-Tech interface may miss with respect to the newer modules?

Kevlarman: As I see it, you have 2 x options: you most certainly can buy an OBD11 dongle, but you also have the alternative to trade-in your Micro-CAN cable for a new HEX series device.

Each option has its advantages and failings: OBD11 is less-expensive, but you need a good internet connection @ the place of use and you need an Android tablet/mobile-phone for the SW. HEX-V2 cable will run like cut-cat in comparison (man, it's fast!) - but it's more expensive.

From a dollar perspective - if you trade-in your Micro-CAN cable under the RT "loyalty scheme" for a 10 x VIN, HEX-V2 cable, it will cost $149 + $77 shipping (FEDEX Priority, no insurance)= $226 (USD). This translates to about $250 AUD

This compares with a cost for an OBD11 dongle of $139+$10 Shipping =$149 AUD from AutoInstruct - so, $100 AUD less for OBD11!!

The question that only you can answer is - is the additional cost for VCDS worth it?

I bought more last week - so its pretty certain as long as you have a Google account linked to a payment method - you can buy to your heart's content.

BUY now why would you do that? Either long code or get free credits

VIM was a compelling case 🙄
