Hi guys,
I know there are a few OBDEleven users on here, and there have been a lot of discussions lately about whether or not to get the Pro version.
I've just been made aware that on the 15th June, Pro becomes a subscription-based model. If you buy today, you keep it for life, no subscription
Thought that was worth posting on here

And if u are already have a pro account it will be upgraded to a lifetime account. “I think”

Correct.

Oh that explains the random notification I got on my phone today
Seems like a shame to me. They've just become too greedy and want to make more money

How much would the subscription be and what would you get?
Is the best pack to get the €99.99?
So I’m undecided on wether to buy or not and if it would be any use to me, someone sell it to me why I should look at it?

Bought the pro version in 2017. Found it useful to have the pro as always at least 3 vag cars in the family and the ability to 'adjust' things is very convenient. Not as good as vcds but for the money is reasonable choice.

If you want to buy one now before the whole Pro subscription thing kicks in - Buy a standard OBD11 and then buy the Pro upgrade activation online. It's quite a bit cheaper to buy the two individually than it is to buy them both together. Again, just seems a trick they do to try and trick people that don't notice into paying a few more quid it seems.
You can program new batteries yourself for one thing. Also can adjust the loudness of the fake engine sounds, turn stop/start off etc.
If you do a search on here or look online you'll find a full list of things it can do/adjust. Most things can be done without the Pro subscription, but you do need it for battery coding
An alternative device to consider is the Carista

Pro would be €25 a year, ultimate will be €100 but you get unlimited credits, not that I use credits, don’t trust them, although I do like the idea of being able to write your own 1 click apps
