VAG DPF lite is the free version of the application VAG DPF that show you the most important data related to the DPF particulate filter and its regeneration phases using an ELM327 Bluetooth/WIFI adapter. With this free app you can statically view 3 parameters related to the particulate filter status. This app doesn't use standard OBD2 commands as almost all other apps, it uses directly CAN commands specific of car model and this is the reason why it doesn't work with every car; due to the use of CAN commands, the app needs al least a decent ELM327 adapter (see note below); some users reports correct app working with a 10-15 euro adapter.

Core functions of the application:
- Display of 3 parameters related to the DPF filter: soot mass accumulation in the filter, regeneration duration, km traveled since last regeneration
- Manual update of the parameters
-
: recommended, expensive but fast and reliable (I used it for the app development)
-
: recommended, affordable price but very reliable (I use it for debug and daily scans)
-
: recommended, same as Carista

: not recommended, unreliable, you can randomly find decent adapters or fake adapters with unpredictable results
