Default VAG-specific diagnostics app - it works!

Ok, I don't mean to toot my own horn, but we've made a pretty awesome app that can do all the Audi-specific diagnostics (code reading and resetting) that a dealer would do and in addition to that, you can change your car's settings (adaptations). No other app can do that. Yeah, we're pretty proud of this

Supported ECUs: well... all of them! Engine, ABS, airbag, navigation, central electronics, parking assist, etc...
Price: $19.99 for VAG-specific diagnostics and customizations. FREE for standard OBD2 diagnostics. Compare that to spending hundreds of dollars at a dealer or for computer software and expensive cables.

Check out the Android app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ce%3Daudiworld
(iOS version coming soon)

All you need is a standard (cheap) Bluetooth OBD adapter that a lot of you already have. See examples here: Hardware | Carista OBD2 - Vehicle Diagnostics and Customization

P.S. We're currently working on adding "coding" capabilities (we only supported "adaptations" until now). PM me if you're interested in being a beta-tester (free of charge, of course).

Default Has anybody tried this?

Sounds like a good app, if it works properly. I wonder if you can clear codes with it? And I'm uncertain about the customization feature. Do you have to pay extra for each additional feature?

Can you reset the electronic park brake so you can replace the rear pads. If so it may be worth the $20 to get it.

Yes, you can definitely clear codes with it. And no, you don't have to pay extra for each feature. You buy the Pro Package once ($19.99) and you get unlimited use of all features in the app.

Not yet. We have plans to implement this in a future version, but we don't have it yet.
