Any decent alternatives to carista/obd eleven/vcds?

[kazzz25]

Hey everyone is there any decent alternatives to these subscription platforms? Vcds is a bit expensive. Just looking to do some customisations.

Thanks

With OBD11 They now support ELM327 Dongle and I think (you will need to double check) you can use the one click apps so no subscription just having to buy credits for the things you want to do.

VCDS currently (as far as i know) does not support SFD (Only impacts you if you have a newer car ) Edit so you have to pay extra for Tokens to unlock it.

Nobody in the hobby world supports SFD2 yet So again you need to double check what you want to do and see if its possible and tell us what motor / year

It's a 2014 Leon.

Would like to do needle sweep, parking sensor display, have the rear lights running during the day also, I've seen coming home/leaving home lights options with carista, not sure if that'll work the way i want. I've seen with obd eleven and vcds you can link that to when the interior lights coming on and off.

I see the obd11 one click apps but dunno how much each one costs in terms of credits as it doesn't say

OK I will try and check on Thursday, afraid for some reason OBD11 decided to hide the prices unless you are connected to the car, in the old days the web site showed them.

Don't know where you are looking but OBD11 has prices on their website.

He's saying you don't need to buy a plan you can use just one time apps but those cost credits.

Yes hardware and plans have prices one click apps don't (unless it changed again)

You can use the Car scanner app for android. The Pro version costs as much as two bottles of Pepsi, and has capabilities comparable to obd11. What obd11 offers as paid "one click apps," car scanner offers for free.
I have personalized more than a dozen cars with this application, and there have never been any problems or surprises.
