Do you need to remove panel to fit obdeleven?? I purchase with extender adaptor and it doesnt fit.. not sure if im pushing hard enough.

I have the VCDS cable and it really have to push it.

It is definitely harder than other cars I have owned.

OBD2 Port Extender – For OBDeleven – AutoInstruct

Welcome. I really do mean no offense, but....

If you don't know where the OBD port is then you need to do a lot more research before you break something.

It's under the little glove compartment on the drivers side.

Thanks! Yeah i dont intend of doing much other than using the apps (no long coding) to activate the video player whilst drivig, change the AID style and if possible, at some point in the future..once i learn as much as possible, add more ambient colours (based on a youtube step by step video ive seen). Nothing else

I did it! No dramas. Have been able to add the 10 colours i wanted, changed the dials and added the bouncy balls in the main display, all with the obdeleven, no need for adaptor either by the way.
I have noticed though that not all colours work, especially if they are similar (ime. Pink and purple..). Other than that,, awesome.Happy

With the colours - I find full green (255 green, 0 everything else) and full red (255 red, 0 everything else) also looks really good.

I copied the colour codes out of my wife's Skoda, but found they didn't work the same in the Arteon, so ended up making some minor adjustments. I can get "Aqua" just fine on the dash, but it doesn't translate to the LED lighting strips. It looks the same as the default factory blue. I think it's just the limitation of the lighting strips.
