There is a freedom that comes with being able to diagnose and fix issues your vehicle may be having. Sure, we can’t do everything on our own, but we also don’t have to run to the mechanic and spend our hard-earned money fixing things we could easily do ourselves.

Back in the day, vehicle customization was only possible through physically accessing and modifying the systems within your car. If you wanted, say, sequential turn signals, you had no option but to purchase specially manufactured lamps from an aftermarket manufacturer and install them. But as the auto industry has become ever more reliant on embedded computers, the door has been left open to software customization. Suddenly, kids with laptops and OBD dongles are concocting all sorts of clever ways of modifying their cars’ programming to unlock new features and implement custom routines, and as time goes on, the tools are only getting better.

The computer age has opened up all-new avenues for software vehicle customization. Now, for Volkswagen and Audi vehicles, that customization is easier than ever with OBDeleven.

Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or just looking to get your feet wet, modern cars pose something of a challenge. Namely, they’re complicated. Simple analog systems have given way to complex digital networks operating on thousands of lines of code, and evolutionary advances in technology have managed to muddle the process of changing even the simplest of items – like brakes, for example. Luckily, there are tools capable of restoring the balance. Tools like the Carista OBD2 Bluetooth Adapter and accompanying Carista app.

There’s no greater satisfaction than when you’ve just done something all by yourself, which is why so many car owners love getting their hands dirty by working on their car themselves.
