A message popped up earlier on my phone - might be useful for those with OBD Eleven looking to make changes to protected settings...

Also, a long list of 1 click apps listed for Golf 8 models - might be useful for some

What does one need to get OBD11 to work these days? On an iPhone / iOS specifically?

I bought an OBD11 Dongle years ago when I had a MK7 and back then it was Android only. Do I need to get a new OBD11 dongle?
MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.

All of what you could possibly do is visible...

Rear drl if you really desire it (it's less safe...) is possible, light bar is not.

Is this as easy as just purchasing a device, plugging it in and selecting the changes needed? I.e a one off cost for good?

Pretty much - however, the one-click apps for changing settings in a safe way are paid for separately by credits - you can change settings manually without credits but unless you know what are doing and all the different combinations of settings needed to change, then you run the risk of screwing things up badly
