Black Friday Goodies for 7/7.5?

[scanesare]

Seeing as my post started this thread which Im glad it did as some great feedback Id like to take the opportunity to clarify a few things ...

1. I didnt say I couldnt afford the 50quid or mention affordability I rather simply asked if it was worth spending that plus around 50 more for a android device to be able to use it effectively OR spend the money on a tangible instant impact item such as the pedalbox....

2. For the  "flash" poster who made it about money and started commenting on how if you cant afford etc...MATE those who flash the most in my experience are those who have the least ...so regardless of how much money ,what model you have (owned ,leased , borrowed) or how much people have to spend on their VW ..they contribute to this thread... they deserve to say and ask whatever they feel is relevant to them and do so hoping the feedback will be helpful and beneficial....to which most have SO THANK YOU and I will be ordering OBD11 and spend the next few hours reading through the threads .

With all the above said ...thanks to all who actually provided meaningful feedback !

I hope you don't mean me by "flash" poster or by implying you couldn't afford it? My one and only reply to you was all about the usefulness of the OBD11 and why exactly I consider it indispensable for a VW owner. Nothing to do with money until the point the affordability issue and comparison with the pedal box was raised, which quite frankly never made any sense to me as I just don't see it even remotely possible someone owning a GTI/R would not be able to pay £50 for such a device at any given time.

I was thinking of getting myself OBDEleven. Trouble is, I'm in an all-Apple devices house. Anyone see any deals for a cheap, none too fancy android tablet?

I was in the same situation as you being an Apple user, so purchased a Amazon Fire Tablet, now reduced to £29.99.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01J90O0N4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Had to manually add the Google app store, but this was easy enough to do (followed some instructions on YouTube).

Well I got an Amazon tablet today delivered to me today. Ordered for 30 quid on Black Friday.
And I can confirm that it will work just fine with obdeleven!

Followed some easy instructions on YouTube to side load the Play store and that’s it. Really easy.

So thank you 7MAT!

What do you plan on changing with it Joe?

On the current car, nothing much (if anything), as I have a mate with VCDS who did most of the popular mods for me on this car when I first got it.
It's more for the new car, to do the same tweaks again and it'll be nice to have this tool myself so I can make quick adjustments without relying on asking my mate to do it.
I considered going the full hog and buying the VCDS cable but it's quite expensive and a bit overkill for my needs.

For doing small tweaks and changing setting then VCDS is overpriced and overkill. I'd much rather spend the money saved on tickets to the summer festival meeting at Galway race course the end of July next. I can't wait for it.

  Ahhh, the Galway Races! You won't be very long spending the price of a VCDS cable in Galway that week!!

Last time there I won a fair few pound and to help the Irish economy I then left it in and around various bars in the city

Bit of an old thread I`m dragging up here, sorry.

ODBeleven, there more I read about it the more I think I want it.

Where`s the best / cheapest place to get odbeleven? Direct from them?

[Vwjap]

Direct from them when they have offers on (200 free credits stuff like that), think it only took a few days to get here
