Halfway through he describes this as malicious compliance with the “right to repair” law. Apple and others are making a mockery of the law.

Must be newer VAG vehicles then, mine definitely needed a scan tool to put on service mode. Though it’s also pretty old. I had a newer Mercedes and that had a hidden service menu that allowed me to do the brakes.
Probably like Chrysler, they were in bed together at one point. Just like merc, Chrysler has the junctions for network, similar aux battery, and so on. Most Chrysler you can just stomp the gas pedal 3 times to reset the oil light in addition to the instrument cluster shortcut.
Chrysler had hidden features before the merger too. The key dance showed drivetrain codes on my 300M. Holding specific buttons showed climate control codes
Yep, obdeleven let’s you go into the basic settings because most of the times they have the passwords in the app. On the newer cars, especially audi, the service reset (not the oil reset) is behind a paywall. Maybe depends.on the scanner, but the autel and topdon ones need an additional subscription, along with Nissan, Chrysler etc
Eww, microtransactions every time you want to do anything? Fuck that.
