I recently had the pleasure of testing OBDeleven, a state-of-the-art solution for customising and diagnosing your vehicle. The 2016 Bentley Bentayga was the perfect car to put OBDeleven’s capabilities to the test.
Firstly, the unboxing experience of OBDeleven, reminiscent of Apple products, provides a fun and memorable moment before connecting the device to the car. This is an experience many of us unconsciously enjoy. The device itself is compact and presents a sleek appearance for what it is.

What is OBDeleven?
OBDeleven is a cutting-edge device that connects to your vehicle through the OBD-II port and uses Bluetooth technology to link to your phone. This allows you to easily control the device and perform scans for faults or make pre-made personalised modifications to your car using the One-Click Apps.
Diagnostics
OBDeleven is a compact device that is plugged into the OBD-II port of your vehicle, typically located in the driver’s footwell or under the hood. The device seamlessly connects to your phone through Bluetooth technology, allowing for quick and easy customisation or diagnosis of your car. The process is simple, as you simply choose the desired modification and follow the clear and concise instructions.
Diagnosing the vehicle was straightforward with OBDeleven. The Bentley was experiencing issues with its night vision camera and driver’s door lock, which we already knew about, making it the ideal test subject to see if OBDeleven worked as promised. After connecting the device and hitting the go button, it quickly identified and pinpointed the issues, confirming that OBDeleven works effectively and efficiently.
One-Click Apps
The app provides access to a variety of One-Click App adjustments, with each car having slightly different options, but many being similar. A standout feature is the ability to enable Carplay Wireless, eliminating the need for a wired connection and keeping the interior of your car neat and tidy. Another feature I personally appreciated is the Lock/Unlock Acoustic Confirmation, which provides a subtle but noticeable sound when locking or unlocking the doors, eliminating the guesswork of whether or not the car is secure.
For those who enjoy taking their car to the track, OBDeleven has a lap timer feature that displays on the dashboard, allowing you to measure your performance and lap times. If you prefer a sportier feel, the Gauge Test Needle Sweep adds a touch of style to the dashboard, providing a satisfying visual display each time you start the car. Additionally, the Brake Disc Drying option increases safety in wet weather by using friction to remove excess water from the brakes, providing added peace of mind on the road.
For car enthusiasts and DIY mechanics, the OBDeleven is the perfect tool for customising and maintaining their vehicle. With advanced Pro features, the app allows you to delve deep into your car’s software and code, resetting control units (UDS), performing diagnostic service changes, and more. No need to waste time and money at the garage – with OBDeleven, you can quickly and easily diagnose and resolve issues, saving you costs in the long run.
In conclusion, OBDeleven is a highly valuable tool for anyone looking to enhance the performance and safety of their vehicle.
