Cool, but I've got the previous gen and can't use it for much on my Leon as it's all locked down, is this one worth getting instead.

My personal view is that currently its not worth it. The sales pitch is that as they add new features (like this one) and makes (eg other car brands) they will only be supported by OBD11 3.

However Its not clear to me if this feature works on both OBD11 2 & 3 time will tell.
