OBDeleven or Carista?

Swiftz · 7 Sep 2020 at 22:37

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been asked before, I have a 2017 facelift Leon FR and would like to enable these features and other useful ones as well as use it as a diagnostic/scan tool so I'm wondering which one has more features to activate/use?

Reserve dipped mirrors
Disable start/stop
Refuel quantity
Park pilot

OBDEleven with the pro license is about as close as you can get to fully fledged VCDS. The pro license will open up proper long coding and adaptations, which allows you to be in control of what you're changing.

The 'apps' that do changes can break as much as they enable if there have been subtle changes from model year to model year.

OBD Fusion with Carista.

OBDEleven Pro, hands down, had both sold my Crista to a mate who has now upgraded it to a OBDEleven.

Thanks all, I will go with OBDEleven as that seems to be the complete package with long coding and no subscription needed after the trial.

Another vote for OBDEleven. Had it for a few years and used it to do a few coding changes/retrofits and now this week to diagnose a faulty rain light humidity sensor on my Octavia. As others have mentioned it's close to VCDS but in a good form factor (phone rather than bulky laptop).

When you purchase check the prices as it "Was" cheaper to buy the basic one and then the Pro licence separately than buy the "Pro Package".

You get 5 free credits a day anyway, I have over 900 now and not spent any as everything been done with long coding and adaptations.

*edit, Just checked and it is considerably cheaper (€45) to buy the Starter pack and the Pro Activation separate. The Pro pack comes with tat you don't need and Credits you will never use.
