VAG DPF F.A.Q.: https://www.applagapp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=319
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.
Supported engines:
DETA, CRBC, CFHD,CUNA, CFFB, CFWA(*), CLHA, CXXB, CAYC (partially working on Passat 3C MY10), CAHA (beta, requires verification), CXHA, DTTC (not MY2022 and subsequent), CDUC

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 words about ELM327 adapters:
– OBDLink LX: recommended, expensive but fast and reliable (I used it for the app development)
– Carista: recommended, affordable price but very reliable (I use it for debug and daily scans)
– Vgate iCar 2 Bluetooth : recommended, same as Carista
– Konnwei kw 903 : recommended, same as Carista
– China cloned adapter: not recommended, unreliable, you can randomly find decent adapters or fake adapters with unpredictable results
August 2022 update: I’ve found in a MY22 DTTC engine a new connection structure different from other DTTC engine tested; this update is currently not supported by the app, I’m investigating about it.
