Understanding OBDeleven Credits
Credits are OBDeleven’s in-app currency. You use them for two things:
- One-Click Apps: ready-made customisations you can activate with a single tap, such as changing lighting behaviour or comfort settings, with no technical knowledge needed.
- Car checks: features such as Mileage check and EV & hybrid battery check, which give you a detailed report on your car.
How many Credits you need depends on how you use OBDeleven. If you only plan to make a couple of changes or run the occasional check, a small bundle is enough.
If you want to try lots of customisations, or check several cars (for example, when buying a used one), a larger credit package or the ULTIMATE Pack will give you better value.
