Wonder if they’ll all more apps. Like an option to switch the light bar off and rear drls…

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.
What's less safe abour rear DRL activation as I have this activated and struggle to understand why its not standard?

Basically rear drl's are more likely to cause someone to run up your bum than not having them on.

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?

Yes. The new obd11 - next gen I think it’s called/ is iOS compatible

Are you sure?

I'd imagine that if you have the original dongle with a pro license, you'd have access. Thought the newer dongle was to work with marques beyond the VAG group and use with an Apple phone.

The official Spiel a few posts back says "all OBDEleven Pro, Ultimate and one click users can unlock the SFD protection without any cost".
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I’m afraid I only have a very basic understanding of these things, so I’m struggling to understand your question 😂
I was responding to Joe’s question as to whether the new obd11 dongle can be used with an iPhone- yes it can.
As for the old one, my understanding was it was android only.

Yes it does and I've done mine. Looks great!

Dont think a dealer would touch it, maybe a forum member near you might help you though.
