Just so people are aware, the "lifetime pro" thing is tied to the account, not the physical device. So unless someone gives over the email/username and password for their account, it's just a basic old device. There is no difference between the physical items (asides from the old white one/new black one).

Yes I’m aware. Will confirm the account as well

Yes,, I was going to buy an ODBeleven but it would now seem useless say when my battery dies after one year and I can't set the battery type as the subscription is expired. The time based subscription makes no sense to me... I would be ok with a subscription that has a finite amount of units and I need to purchase more.

It used to be lifetime. Then changed to subscription. Would make sense if you wanted to use it for a lot of coding one time. But for ongoing maintenance no

Right.. I may want to do future coding but as I understand the subscription model you would code say your lights and then if you want to code them back to after one year you have to pay for a full subscription again.. I would be happy if it came with a low amount of finite codes that don't expire and I could replenish when I need to.

They have that for the one click apps (credits, no sub required). If you want lifetime coding, find a used one with an account (like I’m trying to do) or buy a vcds cable from ross-tech/used.

Thanks for your knowledge. ..id like to know if there is one click app for when replacing the battery... I had emailed them and they said I needed a subscription to code the battery.

That is correct. If you only need it for maintenance or simple tweaks, carista has unlimited uses (no credits) but subscription only ($10 a month, $20/3months or $50/yr) for preset configs including the battery adaptation. Its also cheaper and i think ecs has it on sale. I have an unopened one Id be willing to sell if this deal goes through and I get the obd11 lifetime.
