I was going to shell out for VAGCOM but as i only want to change a few things i thought id try a cheaper option first. I ordered the Obdeleven software and bluetooth reader it came in a couple of days and cost about £35 or something can't remember.
I have already activated laptimer and once i have read up on it will see if i can lower my air suspension too.
Software is good from initial uses. I've not used it a lot but for what it costs and what you can do seems pretty decent. They are apparently working on live data logging which might be a nice feature (if i ever even use it.)
Pro's
Connects really easily
allows you to mod operating tools and software in your car similar to vagcom
GUI is slick
Cons
less features than VCDS but it's about a 10th of the price
Only weird thing that happened last night when i was driving was i clicked something i should have and the car lost all power. I simply turned off the app and restarted the car and it was fine. So that's not really the apps fault and it did warn me before hand that it wasn't advisable. But trying tell a stubborn git not to do something and he will do it anyway.
Oh yeah i've also added the mod so that the power tailgate closes with the key fob too now. I always hated that it didn't do that.
