@Ut005A It's also VCDS for poor people.

@Ut005A VCDS may have OBD II scan tool but it definitely doesn't have "ODB 11". The "II" (uppercase ii) is the roman numeral for 2 and it's used to specify that we're talking about OBD version 2 (instead of OBD version 1 or 1.5 that did also exist in one time). The company OBDeleven was named like that as a pun. I've never understood why the protocol uses such a weird names. It would have been much better to use names like OBD, OBD2, OBD3, OBD4. I'd have labelled the current OBD2+CAN BUS as OBD3 because older OBD II compatible tools cannot talk to CAN.

@pedrosergiocaseiro426 It's my understanding that the cars that do not come from the factory with the "passanger mirror tilt down on reverse" option are missing a position sensor from the mirror. The control module will try to run the mirror regardless of the missing sensor and how succesful it's in returning it the original position depends on the wear level of the motor. (If the option is installed in the factory, there will be a sensor that can measure the angle of the mirror so the module can return it to the original position when you take the car out off reverse. Without the sensor the module tries to apply some more or less random amount of motor drive and your mirror may end up in wrong position. If the motor and wiring is good, applying 1 second of tilt down followed by 1 second of tilt up should result in almost identical mirror position – if not then this feature will not work properly without the missing sensor.)

About the "apps" and credits: is the credit payment per use or to activate the app? For example, if you want to use app to disable e.g. sound indicator for locking the doors and want to enable it again a week later, do you have to pay for the app once or twice?
