8.5 Coding now available in OBD11 & Carista.

As per title, FYI. there are now a limited range of functions available within both of the above APPS for the 8.5. OBDeleven has a greater range of functions available including some adaptation etc, both have a range of one click options available, but the most important one that I have been looking for since day one, is the ability to permanently switch off lane assist, I do this every trip manually as it just doesn’t work safely in my opinion, particularly on unclassified roads near my home, Carista now has the option to set this as remembering the last status set, so if you switch it off it now stays off until you switch it on again, even after a restart  , I can’t see this option in OBDeleven as yet though.

Good to hear. I didn’t renew my OBD 11 due to lack of functionality. Do you know if it can turn off the speed bong permanently as well as lane guidance?

Using OBDeleven it appears that you can yes. 200 credits though if you use the one click option, personally I don’t mind the speed bong as it’s quite subtle.

Thanks, that’s good to know. I might renew my subscription.

I tried connecting OBD11 with my car earlier and I'm not seeing any of this. Do you have to do a "scan" of the car first, for these new Apps to appear? The App list for me was very short, I didn't see anything for Lane Assist or Speed warning.

I'll try it again later as I was pressed for time.

EDIT: Actually, I do see the "Traffic sign speed warning" but there isn't an App for the lane assist as far as I can see... And the Speed warning one is 200 credits! Most of the others are typically only 10 credits.

Yes, the lane assist option does not show (yet) in OBD11, the screen shot for it is from the Carista app.

Yes, I have tried twice now and can only see the ability to switch off speed sign recognition but not lane assist strangely, you can switch off the dash symbol for lane assist bit not the actual lane assist.
When I scan, I get about 20 errors for various things on the car, despite everything functioning correctly. I clear the codes but they come back. Never had this with previous VWs / Audis.

I’m finding OBD eleven flakey. I had 200 credits on my Vw obd11 app. They asked me to switch to the new obd11 app and all the credits have gone. The chat / customer services are non-existent. Everything goes into a black hole.

It’s a shame because i am prepared to upgrade from free to ultimate to get free apps but I can’t rely on the functionality or the customer services.

….I also noticed that on the OBD11 website it confirms that for the latest Golf there should be the app available for switching off lane assist, but it’s definitely not there when you connect up the car in the app.

When you go to the supported vehicles Using the OBD11 app, the lane assist memory one click app isn’t listed, however, as you point out, it is shown on the website. But! It says “ Attention
First, turn the ignition on and then open the vehicle's hood to activate the app ”, i didn’t have to do that while using Carista though, so it may make no difference whatsoever, but could be worth a try.

Will using tools like odbeleven not cause problems with the warranty?
