About
OBDeleven combines a compact OBD2 hardware scanner with a powerful smartphone application to give every driver — from everyday car owners to professional workshops — full control over their vehicle's diagnostics and customization. Simply plug the OBDeleven 3 device into your car's OBD2 port, connect via the app, and start scanning. The tool supports all car brands built with the CAN-bus protocol (primarily from 2008 onward) for standard diagnostics, and offers extended functionality for officially licensed brands including Volkswagen Group, BMW Group, Toyota Group, Ford Group (US models), and Mercedes-Benz Group. Key capabilities include: **Diagnostics** — scan all vehicle systems, read and clear trouble codes, and monitor live data; **One-Click Apps** — pre-built coding options that activate, disable, or adjust comfort, safety, and driving features with a single tap, no coding knowledge needed; and **VAG Coding** — advanced manual coding and adaptations for Volkswagen Group vehicles, including access to SFD-locked features. The FREE plan (included with every device) covers diagnostics and live data. The PRO plan adds manual VAG coding, while the ULTIMATE plan provides nearly unlimited One-Click Apps across all licensed brands and lets power users build their own apps. OBDeleven is ideal for car enthusiasts, DIY mechanics, and professional auto workshops looking to reduce reliance on dealership visits.
