2017 VW Golf - MK7 for Tools & Equipment

I bought this last week and I have a 2017 VW Golf Wolfsburg. Here's my take: to be honest, I basically bought this so I could roll down the windows from my keychain. If you haven't learned from other reviews, for some reason OBDeleven apps don't work well with 2017. Although I bought the default OBDeleven and then bought 100 credits (comes with only 11 credits). I then had to buy the Pro version from the App Store for another $33 (so I could figure out how to manually code things with the Pro version). It's frustrating to spend another $33 so I can spend another hour figuring out how to manually toggle the correct prompts, yes, but now the windows come down with the key fob. Otherwise I pretty quickly spent the 100 credits I bought for 2017 (for whatever reason), disable seat belt warning and door open alarm. Also this weekend, I opened a keychain box for my sister's 2014 Jetta and my mom's 2019 Jetta (yes, that's 10 credits for each use of the app). You can also earn up to 6 credits per day by logging into your profile and wallet and then viewing an ad up to 6 times per day. But depending on how much you value your time, just spend $14 for 100 credits to use apps written by OBDeleven. It's very easy to add (and manage) different vehicles, just enter their VIN, year, model and equipment. You can also easily delete codes. It wasn't SUPER easy to learn, but I'd say it's pretty easy to use and I've got the hang of it now. The support wasn't the best, but they finally answered me (even though I had solved my problem by then).
