Post by: Talk-torque on 09 July 2016, 06:54: Not sure of the ethics of mentioning other forums on here, so not going to post a link, but, if you google golfmk7 and then do a search on the obvious forum, you will find a few useful threads. OBD11 is quite big in the US and Aus, but a few of the regular posters are also on here, so I guess one of them will be along soon.

Not quite sure about the relationship of OBD11 with VW or Rosstech, who make the, far more expensive, VCDS tool, but, it is cheap and it seems to work very well. Let us know how you go on.

Post by: Finglonga on 10 July 2016, 13:11: It is where the main display shows your speed and the direction indicators.

I enabled it on mine but couldn't get the speed to go live.

Post by: Finglonga on 10 July 2016, 13:42: Yes, all working fine, I used long coding for all of them the only one I used an app on was the DRL control on menu.

Post by: KyleB on 10 July 2016, 18:54: Cheers for that, interesting mode.

Post by: scanesare on 11 July 2016, 16:38: I am considering one, especially since RossTech are stating that for MY2016+ some features may only be available through Hex-Net which is a lot pricier.

My questions about the OBDEleven were:

1) Can you data log ignition values (timing advance etc.) and boost real time?

2) The accessible options are standard pre-defined ones or you can transfer info from VCDS guides and access stuff that are not originally there with coding?

Post by: dave7268 on 11 July 2016, 16:59: I got one of these last year but have never been able to get it to work with my car. When I try scanning the car the software just hangs on me so I have never been able to use it. Shame, cos there are some nice little tweaks that I would like to do.
