Wee update

You can do the alternate blink thing with a software change, that's easy/cheap and probably legal if for not other reason than plod probably wont know the difference now everyone's indicators are dancing.

I do know what you mean about indicator envy though Jeni.... when I first saw the Audis doing this I was soooo jealous!

Not sure I was jealous up to the point of 800 quid, but I was jealous.

This was asked a few weeks ago on the "UK MK7 Golf R Owners Group" Facebook site and an MOT tester popped up quoting chapter and verse from the regulations and he says, yes it is legal.

I think you can't do Adaptations and definitely not Long Coding in the standard app so it's mostly for reading and clearing fault codes which is probably only 10% of what it can do on the Pro mode. Not sure though I got Pro since the beginning and it's by far the best money I 've spent on the car. PRO mode basically offers everything I was using in VCDS (adaptations, long coding, faults, and even live data) in a much more intuitive environment, without the trouble of carrying laptops with me and at a fraction of the VCDS cost. If you want to try out different tweaks like you seem you do, I'd say buy PRO version + dongle and enjoy. I honestly think OBDEleven might have well killed the enthousiast's market share of Ross Tech (VCDS).

I think you're a bit confused so:  To get access to the OBD port in the first place (that's how the system works) you need an actual device/dongle to connect to it. That costs 40eur. Now once you've bought the dongle you have two options in terms of the app: Either the Free version that you simply download free of charge but has the limitations I mentioned above. Or, you can buy the Pro version for an extra 25eur and unlock full capabilities. So the choice is either 40 eur or 65eur, there is no 0 cost option.

Doubt there would be used dongles on ebay. Even then the licence/Pro app is not transferable so you'd save what, 10-20quid on the dongle? but still have to pay the 25eur for the PRO version activation. Save your time and buy directly from here:

Absolutely. I mean you need to pay already £40 to get the device in the first place with very limited functionality, and you can fully unlock it with another 22? makes sense in my eyes.

The app is very well thought out. It keeps records online through the account you create so you can always see and revert from whatever changes you did, at what mileage and which values you changed in specific etc without having to worry about keeping track yourself. And since they are saved online you don't have to worry about deleting the app from your phone or your phone being replaced or lost either. Just install it on another android device, use the registered account to log-in and you're back where you left it. Absolute peach.
