About this app

ATTENTION!! This app works only with VAG cars (Audi Volkswagen Seat Skoda Porsche) that are equipped with engines listed below; the full compatibility isn't guaranteed for engines not listed, so if you buy the app, please consider that some or all functions may not work properly.
This app doesn't work with other car manufacturers due to a different diagnostic protocol.

The app works on Android Auto.

VAG DPF shows you the most important information about the DPF particulate filter and its regeneration phases using an ELM327 Bluetooth/WIFI adapter. With this app you can know if the regeneration process is currently running, if a regeneration is waiting to be completed, how many km have you traveled since last regeneration, etc. This app doesn't use standard OBD2 commands as most other apps, it uses CANBUS commands and this is the reason why it needs a decent ELM327 adapter to work (see the note below).

IMPORTANT!! Before to buy the full app, I suggest to try the app "VAG DPF Free" to check that your adapter, your Android device and your engine work properly with the app.

IMPORTANT some of the engines above may be incompatible, it depends on the engine software version, so use the VAG DPF FREE app to check your engine before buy!!!!

Some advice regarding ELM327 adapters:
- OBDLink LX: recommended, expensive but fast and reliable (I used it for the app development)
- Carista: recommended, affordable price and very reliable (I use it for debug and daily scans)
- Vgate iCar 2 Bluetooth : a little cheaper but recommended
- Konnwei KW903 or KW905 : a little cheaper but recommended
- China cloned adapter: not recommended, unreliable, you can randomly find a decent adapter or a fake adapter with unpredictable results

Ratings and reviews

Would be nice if it covered the CKRA. Would also be nice if there could be an ETA for next Regen in either time or milage. Could be listed as approximate ETA. Also for some of the values to add a max mark from corporate levels. lastly but not all I have for suggestions is to let use create our own interface like we can in the torque app. I would have 5 stars if our nms cars were covered.

Very good app, but needs one improvement to be perfect. The value which shows the amount of soot increasing or decreasing per mile ( or km) needs colour coding, do that I can see at a glance without looking at the numbers. Eg white digits if it's decreasing (negative), and purple digits if it's increasing (positive). Even better would be if the picture of the filter was one colour when hot enough to burn off soot, bit another colour when the soot level is decreasing. Otherwise great !

Vag dpf is great when it works but often comes up with an general error reinstall app from playstore. Reinstalling the app is not simple as the app is already installed on the device and you have no re-install option as the device is greyed out. I have installed the app on my wifes phone and is working at present but what's the point if continually refuses to work when you need it hence four star's.
