Had to wait a month because it was on back order. Just received it. Loaded up the app. The app needed up dating… and now not supported. Stay away from this!!!
Developer Response
Hey there,Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like you may have bought our older (white) FirstGen OBDeleven devices which were low and out of stock towards the end of 2023. Please note that these older units only support Android and do not support iOS systems - we try our best to label it thusly on our web-store as well as appoint respective notices on the OBDeleven mobile app too. The latter of which informs users that it only supports newer (black) NextGen devices. Hope that helps you better understand the compatibility of our apps and devices.
Slow
Travis1982
Incredibly low to identify vehicle and very slow scanning. Also, if you don’t do absolutely everything exactly right it will not connect, such as key on engine off, hood popped, etc. meanwhile my topdon topscan connects and scans without issue and in a fraction of the time. Also, if you have ‘24+ VW make sure you really research rather than relying on descriptions on a retailers site before you buy it, as you will be severely limited on what you can actually do due to SFD2 being very restrictive, even though the resellers will lead you to believe it is capable of doing everything under the sun. If they can gets SFD2 working and maybe speed up connection time I’ll revise my rating.
Developer Response
Hello,Thank you for your detailed feedback.We’re sorry to hear that the connection and scanning speed did not meet your expectations. While connection time can vary depending on the vehicle and communication system, it should not be unnecessarily slow. We’d be happy to investigate if you contact our support team with your vehicle details.Regarding 2024+ Volkswagen vehicles, SFD2 is a manufacturer security system that currently cannot be bypassed by third-party diagnostic tools. We appreciate you highlighting this, and we’re continuously working to improve performance and expand supported features where possible.Kind regards,OBDeleven Team
A major bug
HGuzel03
I bought OBDeleven about 2 years ago and have been using it on all of my VW’s with no problem. Have used the live data function numerous times, the quick apps were awesome, HOWEVER. I recently made the switch to an F10 BMW and every time I open the app to scan the car or do whatever, the car cycles itself. So it shuts off the car completely then cycles back to accessory mode. This should not happen, it isn’t normal. Also, the lack of a live data panel is a huge downside. I need to see when the car last did its regeneration, how clogged the dpf is, and various other parameters. PLEASE FIX/ADD THESE FEATURES!!!
Developer Response
We’re glad to hear you've had a positive experience with OBDeleven on your VWs. However, the car cycling issue with your F10 BMW is unusual. Please contact our Customer Support team for further investigation via the "Help" section inside the mobile app.Regarding live data, it’s a highly requested feature for non-VAG cars, so every extra vote helps push it forward. We appreciate your feedback and will share your suggestions with our engineers and developers. Thank you for sharing!
Still not as good as the VAG version
joshlitt
While this version seems focused adding lots of features to extend the value of OBD11, if you just want to diagnose, it’s still inferior to the VAG version. For example, reading live data for the engine, I cannot search through the hundreds of outputs as I can with the VAG app, and I can’t seem to get the results in Fahrenheit. The scanning is definitely faster, but that’s where the improvement ends. Much more focused on upselling.
Developer Response
Hello,Thank you for your feedback.We’re glad to hear you’ve noticed the improved scanning speed. We also appreciate your comments regarding Advanced Live Data. Features such as parameter search and additional unit options are valuable suggestions, and we’ll share them with our product team for future improvements.Thank you for helping us make OBDeleven better.Kind regards,OBDeleven Team
You can now pair OBDeleven 3 directly with Trip tracker, so it only tracks trips made in your vehicle.
