Device, PRO, and ULTIMATE options in the same purchase area
Android 8+, iOS 16.6+, and compatible HarmonyOS support
Manual coding with plan for VAG; mobile diagnostics on multiple brands
Annual activations for PRO and ULTIMATE can be purchased separately
The package selected in the purchase area is valid. The device-only option does not include a paid plan; PRO and ULTIMATE packages include a 12-month plan. Credits are included only in packages explicitly stated. Vehicle and function support depend on make, model, year, country, control unit, and current app version. Full access for 2024 and later VAG vehicles with current SFD2 protection should not be assumed.
OBDeleven 3 is a small Bluetooth OBD2 interface without a screen; all menus are accessed within the OBDeleven mobile app. The device alone provides basic OBD2 fault reading-clearing, live data, and basic information access on supported vehicles with the FREE plan.
Manual coding, long coding, adaptation, basic settings, and supported SFD access for VAG vehicles such as Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda, SEAT/Cupra require a PRO or ULTIMATE plan. Ready-to-use functions called One-Click Apps may consume Credits for PRO users; the ULTIMATE plan expands access to supported One-Click Apps within fair use conditions.
Therefore, the right choice should be made not only by price but also by whether the intended task is "basic diagnostics", "ready-made app", or "manual coding". The OBDeleven 3 is not the same hardware as the previous OBDeleven 2/NextGen; the visuals and packages on this page belong to the current third-generation product.

Before any definitive operation, the manufacturer's current coverage record must be verified with the VIN or full vehicle information.
Connection workflow with actual product visuals: OBD2 socket, Bluetooth, and official mobile app.
OBDeleven 3 is a vehicle communication interface that plugs into the vehicle's 16-pin OBD2 socket and connects via Bluetooth to the official OBDeleven app on your phone. The device does not physically repair the vehicle; it transfers error records, live values, and supported service functions from control units to the app.
In general OBD2 diagnostics, engine and transmission codes can be read on many brands using CAN-bus. Advanced coverage licensed by the manufacturer varies by country for Volkswagen Group, BMW Group, Toyota/Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, and US-manufactured Ford vehicles.
The presence of a brand's logo on the list does not mean all menus will be available for all model years of that brand. Full vehicle, country, and intended function must be checked on the current support list before purchase.

OBDeleven Device, PRO Package, and ULTIMATE Package Differences
Separate the physical package from the digital-only plan; the option selected in the purchase area is valid.
The device-only option has the lowest entry cost and does not include a paid plan. The Device + 200 Credits package is intended for users who want to try ready-made One-Click Apps but do not need manual VAG coding.
The PRO package includes the OBDeleven 3 device, a 12-month PRO plan, and 100 Credits. The ULTIMATE package includes the device, a 12-month ULTIMATE plan, a magnetic phone holder, and a carrying case. Since a fixed amount of Credits is not specified in the ULTIMATE package description, credits are not shown as added separately to the package. The plan included in the package is claimed in the account when the device is first connected to the app.
Users who already have the physical device can purchase only the PRO or ULTIMATE activation from the annual plan cards below.
Device: hardware and FREE plan functions
Device + 200 Credits: credit-focused option for ready-made functions
What features are included in FREE, PRO, and ULTIMATE plans?
The FREE plan is sufficient to start using the device and perform basic diagnostics; purchasing a paid plan is not mandatory.
The PRO plan provides access to advanced menus such as manual coding, long coding, adaptation, sub-control unit coding, gateway list, basic settings, freeze frame, and supported SFD unlock, especially for Volkswagen Group vehicles. The PRO plan does not allow unlimited One-Click Apps functions; Credits may be required for the relevant app.
The ULTIMATE plan expands supported One-Click Apps usage within fair use policy in addition to PRO functions and provides access to advanced vehicle features in the app. The visibility of functions still depends on the vehicle, control unit, country, and security layer.
FREE: basic OBD2 diagnostics and live data
PRO: manual coding and adaptation in supported VAG vehicles
ULTIMATE: PRO features and supported One-Click Apps access
Plan does not replace vehicle coverage; it only changes the access level of available menus
Product details
How do OBDeleven Credits and One-Click Apps work?
One-Click Apps are coding, personalization, or maintenance workflows prepared for a specific vehicle and control unit. The app shows available functions and the required credit amount when it recognizes the compatible vehicle. PRO plan users can spend Credits for these ready-made functions; the manual coding menu is a separate capability.
The ULTIMATE plan offers broad access to supported One-Click Apps functions, subject to fair use conditions. Purchasing Credits does not create physical hardware that is not present in the vehicle and does not make an unsupported control unit compatible. Battery voltage, in-app warnings, existing coding backup, and vehicle hardware should be checked before performing any function.
Credits are the app balance used for supported ready-made functions
Manual coding and One-Click Apps are not the same operational model
Vehicle and app compatibility is checked on screen before spending credits
The term ULTIMATE unlimited is subject to fair use and supported function conditions
Product details
VAG Coding, SFD, and 2024+ SFD2 Limit
Coding on Volkswagen, Audi, Škoda, and SEAT/Cupra vehicles is performed through the Coding, Long Coding, Adaptation, or Basic Settings menus allowed by the control unit. PRO and ULTIMATE plans provide access to these advanced menus, but not all channels and features are available on every vehicle.
In-app access may be provided for supported functions with SFD protection. In contrast, OBDeleven's official support statement, checked on October 9, 2026, indicates that full control unit access for 2024 and later VAG vehicles with the latest SFD2 protection is not yet live and the feature is in the final testing phase.
Establishing a connection with the Gateway does not mean all modules can be read or coded. The VIN, model year, target module, and intended function must be verified separately on newer model vehicles.
Existing values and full scan are recorded before coding
SFD access and SFD2 support are not the same
Full access is not assumed for 2024+ vehicles
Coding is not ECU software installation or immobilizer programming
Product details
Scenario 1: Fault light and live data check on your own vehicle
When a vehicle has a fault light, the ignition and battery status are checked first, the device is plugged into the OBD2 socket, and the phone is paired via Bluetooth. A full scan or engine scan is run; the fault code, its description, time of occurrence, and freeze frame information are recorded. Clearing the code does not mean the fault is repaired.
For example, live values for mixture, ignition, or sensor codes should be interpreted along with physical measurements. For this usage, the device option and FREE plan can meet most basic needs. If ready maintenance resets or customizations are to be performed, the need for One-Click Apps and Credits in the app is seen separately.
Obtain a full report before clearing the code
Compare live values with manufacturer ranges
Perform driving and rescan after repair
Product details
Scenario 2: Manual coding on a Volkswagen Group vehicle
Users performing manual coding on a VAG vehicle must select a PRO or ULTIMATE plan. Before starting the process, stable voltage is provided for the vehicle, a full scan is exported, and the old state of the Coding or Adaptation value to be changed is recorded.
Byte/bit values shared for other vehicles on the internet are not directly applied; control unit part numbers and software levels can vary under the same model name. If the app warns about SFD, security access, or unsupported functions, the process should not be forced.
After the change, the fault memory is read again, and the relevant hardware is physically tested. This approach is safer than coding without a rollback plan, focusing only on enabling features.
PRO or ULTIMATE plan
Full scan and old value backup
Stable vehicle voltage
Post-operation fault scan and function test
Product details
Scenario 3: Pre-purchase inspection of a used vehicle
During a used vehicle inspection, OBDeleven can help see recorded and intermittent fault codes, even if there are no lights on the dashboard. After the vehicle is identified, a full scan is obtained on supported systems; mileage, VIN, control unit ID, fault status, and live values are noted.
However, the device alone cannot prove bodywork, chassis, mechanical wear, compression, oil pressure, or all past deleted records. The scan should be interpreted in conjunction with a physical inspection and service history. In-app vehicle inspection lists can provide decision support; they are not a sole purchase approval.
In case of suspicious data, the relevant module is re-checked with an independent device or manufacturer procedure.

VIN and control unit ID check
Comparison with physical inspection and service history
Product details
Scenario 4: Mobile service and VAG specialist use
Small hardware that works with a phone offers advantages for roadside assistance or quick pre-scans at the vehicle. Mobile services can generate fault code reports, monitor live values, and assess supported maintenance tasks before accepting a customer's vehicle.
Nevertheless, OBDeleven 3 does not replace a multi-brand service tablet with a screen, an oscilloscope, a programming power supply, or an OEM online account. If most of the daily work involves VAG coding and mobile control, the PRO package may be balanced; users who frequently use One-Click Apps and want accessories can consider the ULTIMATE package.
In intensive multi-brand services, OBDeleven should be positioned as an auxiliary device, and a comprehensive service tablet as the main device.
Quick Bluetooth pre-scan
Fault report shareable with the customer
VAG-focused mobile coding
Auxiliary device role for intensive multi-brand service
Product details
Plan activation, card setup, and auto-renewal
The 12-month PRO or ULTIMATE plan included in the package is claimed in the user's account when the device is first connected to the mobile app and does not auto-renew unless the user activates it separately.
For plan codes purchased separately from the device, OBDeleven requests billing information and payment card setup during activation after September 15, 2026. If the user does not cancel, separate plan users may renew under the manufacturer's current terms.
Therefore, before activating the plan code, you must log in with the correct OBDeleven account, and check the expiration date and renewal settings in the account screen. The device will not stop working when the plan expires; functions within the FREE plan scope will continue, while paid menus will close based on access level.
Package plan: claimed in account when device connects
Separate plan code: card setup and renewal conditions may apply
Activation must be done with the correct user account
Plan expiration does not disable device hardware
Product details
How to check phone, app, and vehicle compatibility?
The official product page for OBDeleven 3 specifies Android 8.0 or higher, iOS 16.6 or higher, and compatible HarmonyOS devices. The phone's Bluetooth permission, app's local connection permissions, and internet access must be enabled.
The presence of the make on the vehicle list is only an initial check; the full model, production year, country, engine, control unit, and intended function must be searched. Advanced BMW functions may be limited in some countries and for 2024+ models; advanced Ford coverage is limited to US-manufactured vehicles.
While VAG advanced diagnostics and coding coverage in Turkey is stated globally on the official page, the China exception and the current SFD2 limit apply.

OBDeleven 3 vs. VAGCOM HEX V2 and Service Tablet Comparison
The OBDeleven 3 operates with a mobile app, official account, and package/plan model. The Generic VAGCOM HEX V2, on the other hand, is a wired, lower initial cost VAG interface connected via USB to a Windows computer; it does not have the same official license and support structure.
A professional service tablet can be a more comprehensive main device for multi-brand, active test, maintenance function, and workshop reporting needs.
Users who want diagnostics and personalization from their phone on their own VAG vehicle should consider OBDeleven; users who prefer a wired PC setup should consider a VAG-compatible interface; businesses that accept different brands every day should consider a service tablet. These three solutions are not direct alternatives to each other.
OBDeleven 3: mobile and account-based usage
Generic HEX V2: Windows and USB-focused VAG interface
Service tablet: multi-brand and intensive workshop workflow
