I got an OBDeleven for my 2015 GTI so I could unlock stuff and customize. Enabled rolling down the windows with the key fob, being able to display the engine oil temp in the dash and also setting the accelerator pedal curve to linear.

What I didn't even know that was stuff you could even do

Kinda depends on the car. Volkswagen cars are pretty "hackable" with OBDeleven which is a wireless interface for the hilariously named "VAGCOM" protocol.

OBDeleven

Hang on, have I being saying this wrong for years? I thought it was OBDII or OBD2 ?

It is OBD2, OBDeleven is a Bluetooth dongle you plug into it
