New Volkswagen Group (VAG) models from 2024 have updated security features (UNECE R155 and R156) to protect the car’s software. This new layer of protection, sometimes called “SFD2,” safeguards the car’s control units from unauthorized access, particularly for updates performed over the air (OTA).

Under these new security measures, OBDeleven can only fully communicate with the car's main diagnostic part – the gateway control unit. This means we can’t fully scan or interact with other control units as we do with other car models.

Similarly, BMW has introduced new restrictions in 2024+ models that limit coding access. Due to these manufacturer-imposed limitations, One-Click Apps aren't available for these vehicles.

For VAG, our development team is upgrading OBDeleven to work fully with these new security features. We’re creating new software and consulting with VAG to get it right.

For BMW, we continue monitoring the situation and exploring ways to expand the functionality while staying under manufacturer constraints.

We aim to get OBDeleven fully up and running with these 2024 models as soon as possible so you can keep diagnosing and customizing your car like always.
