Advice - to buy OBDeleven or Carista ?

[Vwjap]

I know there’s 2 different central electronic modules and some of the apps are written for the old modules and some new so sometimes the apps don’t work with your car, and that’s why long coding is better, well with obdeleven as I haven’t used carista

Is there a list (sticky) somewhere or thread that details the long codes? I have had a look and can't see one

OBD11 have a forum and so do ross-tech (vcds). Also if you Google what you want you'll get hundreds of pages to wade through.

Hmm OK - I want to use it on an Arteon. The Carista site says their product cant be used to do the normal tweaks on the Arteon. So I need to buy an an Android phone or find someone who could do it for me?

I have an old (a real one not a copy) Micro-CAN VCDS cable but I understand this wont work either.

You really need HEX V2 for the new stuff. Ross Tech drew a line at MY19 vehicles for the old leads.

I had a late 2018 T6 Caravelle, which my old VCDS worked on, but when I changed it for a March 2019 model, despite it being exactly the same vehicle, just 6 months newer, it couldn't access it.

Is there anyone who can help? I'm near Peterborough.

I think I must have assisted about 20 people back when I had a Scirocco - when my old VCDS cable worked so maybe someone will return the favour now (for beer tokens of course). It was mostly sat-nav installs and turning off the dreaded headlight DRL system back then.

The problem is vw keep changing the way the modules work and cars have different hardware so what can work on one may not work on others, take VIM it only works on MMI With software below 1000, or stop start, only works on MY19 (I think) or earlier, plus about 2016 vw changed the menu system in the central electronics like access system in the older on changes to be ZV, so although people put up lists their not entirely correct

Looking at OBD Eleven/Carista.
Looks like I've missed the boat on a cheap Carista but looking at OBD website I can get device, upgrade to Pro & 200 credits cheaper if I buy them separate rather than the Pro package. Or am I missing something??
TIA
