    OBDeleven and VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System) are two popular diagnostic tools used for Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, and Skoda vehicles. Both tools offer similar functionality but differ in terms of their hardware, software, and user experience. Here's a comparison between OBDeleven and VCDS:
    Hardware:
    OBDeleven: OBDeleven is a dongle-style device that plugs into the vehicle's OBD-II port. It connects to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth and uses the OBDeleven mobile app for diagnostics and coding.
    VCDS: VCDS requires a laptop or PC with a USB interface cable to connect to the vehicle. The VCDS cable is connected to the OBD-II port, and the software is installed on the computer.
    Software and Features:
    OBDeleven: OBDeleven utilizes a mobile app for both Android and iOS devices. It provides access to a wide range of diagnostic functions, coding options, and adaptation settings for various control modules in the vehicle. The app also allows users to customize and modify certain features of their car.
    VCDS: VCDS uses dedicated software installed on a laptop or PC. It offers comprehensive diagnostics, fault code reading and clearing, advanced settings, and coding options for VAG vehicles. The software provides detailed information about control modules and allows for in-depth customization.
    Ease of Use:
    OBDeleven: OBDeleven's mobile app provides a user-friendly interface with clear instructions and easy navigation. It offers "one-click" coding options and provides step-by-step guides for various modifications.

    Cost:
    OBDeleven: OBDeleven offers different pricing options, including a basic version with limited functionality and a Pro version with more advanced features. The Pro version requires a subscription, which can be purchased on a monthly or yearly basis.

    They changed to yearly subscription!?! I purchased mine a 2 years ago and got lifetime pro license. This subscription stuff is getting out of hand.

    Hi, i have an A3 2.0, can the OBDeleven code new parts to car like a injector ? maybe you could do a video how it's done .

    • @iamcarhacker
      @iamcarhacker  Рік тому +4

      Hi it should work same as in VCDS in engine control module adaptations. There is old value and you need to input new ID which is written on new injector. If I get chance to code injectors I will make a video.
