Default OBDeleven

Has anyone tried a OBDeleven. Im sure they are no where near as good as vcds but are they good enough to reset service light. Wind back brakes etc. ?

Works great with my D2 S8 for checking/resetting fault codes, etc. No idea about winding back brakes on a D3 though.

There was a discussion about the OBDeleven here a while ago:

Thanks for the link, sounds like it's worth a try. I would like vcds but can't find a used cone and the new ones are a bit pricey

Really good bit of kit, use it on D2 S8 and it works on a 2012 Q7 as well
