Considering buying an OBD11 to do the same. Which subscription tier is needed to be able to alter these settings please?

And is there a list somewhere of what the OBD11 can alter overall? Edit:found it…

Thanks.

A standard/basic sub should be fine. You just need to buy credits to use the “apps”. From memory, lane assist needs 50 credits, speed warning needs 200. And if you want to adjust the sound actuator level, that’s only 10 credits.

After a tip off from Joe I did this to mine too. I was even able to do it with my first gen ODB11 dongle (the white one). Very pleased!
