You're wrong about the sub. Bought this today. As I bought the original I ran the scan and then logged on to Play. Gave me a month free to 25 Nov then will take a year's payment if I don't cancel. Used on my Golf Mk5 2005. Fantastic app
You needed to read closer. You get a one month trial before you’re charged. It even tells you the date. You simply cancel before that date in your apple settings.
I have this dongle and when I purchased the app a few years ago I must have been grandfathered in because I have access to the mods without having to pay
Can I control my dash cluster information info with this ? Meaning if I use a newer steering wheel for my 2012 Dodge Charger and I have a 2015 steering wheel that read different codes meaning 1’s instead of zeros can I change the values to make my steering wheel controls work ?
We are using a Dodge Caravan SXT, and so far cannot find any compatibility to make or customize...? OBD 2 MX or Carista...? Correct me if i have other options thanks...
If I make a change, like I want needle sweep on start up, if I sub for one week or use the month free trial then make changes, disconnect the device, will my settings stay even after the device is disconnected and my subscription has run out?
If you're going to make a video about Carista.... buy it! Don't waste viewers' time by showing us your limitations based on lack of investment. Stick to things you can afford. Perhaps jarring pickles, etc.
Hi, thank you for this review. Do you know if this scanner can edit the ECU to stop it from reporting a chosen fault code, i.e, if the ECU detects a certain code, stop it from showing the engine light on the instrument panel? Many thanks, Joe.
Not sure why it took so long for you but I used a generic obd reader with carista and it gave the ecu details in a few mins for a vw passat but it was on android
Carista has PROs, such as iOS support, and multiple automotive manufacturer support. However, as CONs, for VAG cars it's not as powerful as VCDS or OBDeleven and it's slow. Also No manual canbus long coding is available in Carista. If the customization is not in the list they don't support it. Also the Carista subscription is required to apply settings to your car.

2004 Buick Century. The PRNDL led lights are out, can't see the reading, Park, Reverse... and odometer km. So, can the CARISTA app indicate the latest km' s? I dont care to remove the dashboard and solder resisters ( $2 haha) behind the cluster board.
If anyone can help with carista if I pay for a 1week subscription and do all the Customisations do I get to keep them all if I cancel my subscription ?
Bite the bullet and get your $39.99 USD membership. Works great on my MK7 GolfR. For those not VCDS savvy this is a good option for disabling the soundakor or turning it down.
I should revisit this. I still have the Carista dongle and it also works well with other OBD apps. I have not looked at the Carista app since this video was made, I bet a lot has changed by now.
Well, you can shut off the light, by resetting errors, but then it'll read "Not Ready" by inspection and they'll tell you to come back for inspection in about 50 to 100 miles, when ODB ran its tests.
If I were to set up some of these features, do i have to leave the OBD2 sensor in for them to remain on, or if I unplug, or cancel my membership will they revert back to the original settings?
The main thing I wanted it for was to use the key fob to put the windows down. Nope, not in N America. I wasted money on this thing. Scanned Mk7 Jetta for faults in like a minute. No faults. But that was Android. Read faults in my 06 Jetta in about a minute also. 16 of them... Lol. Ok maybe it paid for itself.
It actually works, but you have to go in the menu and reset the system. I too was disappointed about it, but after reading more about it. You have to reset everything in the menu. I also do the reverse mirror mode on the passenger side
Good info. I WAS liking this app/interface until it appears you must by the monthley service in addation to buying the OBD interface hardware.... :( Do you have a recommendation for a tool like this app that the only cost is purchasing the Interface hardware? Looking for a app/device for my 2019 4runner (USDM)
Nice Review. I was gonna buy one but I thought I should look at some reviews first, and yours was the holy grail of don't buy this piece of shit. Thanks for the detailed review and for saving me money.
S*cks 💯 it doesn't support customizations on my f10 AND my f20.. also 60euro for a year? After I bought the obd2 for 20euro on Amazon.. it's a scam for bmw users.
aneurin2711 why isn’t your mileage correct? Unless your talking about winding the mileage back to make it appear like you have done less miles and increase your cars value.....

if i cancel subscription will all the changes done to my car be reset?
@@ggwyatt Car shuts off until you pay up.
Seriously though, most settings that get changed will be saved in the cars memory.
Does it let you turn the seat belt chime off before you start the engine

@Kareem Imran you’re right, no one cares
It scanned my whole MKV in under 5 minutes. Zero faults
I just ordered this thing. Hope they've had some serious updates.
Have a mkv gti just orderd this 🤘
I'm using mine since 2019 and I never had to pay a membership for the BASIC scanning... the membership is for advanced scanning only .

He's demoing the free version, which apparently contains "teaser" advertising for sold version, which is obnoxious.
I like pickles
Seriously🙄 I plan on getting this and I'll use the free month they give so I can use the hardware LOL

You have to ecu remap I assume
I need to changed the tire size of my KIA/Picanto on ECU. Does it help? i replaced the tires with the bigger ones and need to fix the speedometer.

You can chec normal check engine light without paying anything. But stuff like abs and airbags u have to pay
Thank you for taking time out of your day to record this. Fuck the haters (look for other videos or YOU BUY it and try it out!!)
He sounds like the guy from the Car and Driver show right after he gets in the car in the beginning.

Have you tried the throttle body adaptation?
does this mess with the cars warranty at all?
Hey guys, is it still ok 1 year later? Im afraid to use another obd other than obd eleven
I should revisit this. I still have the Carista dongle and it also works well with other OBD apps. I have not looked at the Carista app since this video was made, I bet a lot has changed by now.
so can you reset inspection / service indicator for free eventually?
Well, you can shut off the light, by resetting errors, but then it'll read "Not Ready" by inspection and they'll tell you to come back for inspection in about 50 to 100 miles, when ODB ran its tests.
OBD 11 is the best friend!
Takeo Mack yes but not everyone like androids and not being able to use it with iOS sucks
is there any obd2 scanners that isnt subscription based? or any alternatives for a computer that isnt subscription based?
Is $10 a month or $40 for a year
hi, vw up work on it? and this app have in portuguese language?
Good OBD2 scanner, Overpriced Apps. Get OBD2 Apps free somewhere else: Torque Pro, Bimmer, ELF327, etc.
can i prime a fuel pump on a vw 2015 tdi? looking to change fuel filter and want to prime pump.
Can you reset Audi A3 inspection 2013-2018 ??
I am an Android user. Just downloaded the app from third party site and used it with my existing obd2. All features active without purchase.
Where?
@@gavincosgrove Just goolge Carista OBD2 PRO v4.0.beta-5 (Unlocked)
@@TinoR626 doesn't work
@@gavincosgrove you have to have a rooted device and install lucky patcher.
Hi dose your vw have to be a highline model for these features to work?
Nope
If I were to set up some of these features, do i have to leave the OBD2 sensor in for them to remain on, or if I unplug, or cancel my membership will they revert back to the original settings?
Changes are parmanentlu stored in the car modules coding after you unplug the device. Nothing rolls back to original unless you change it back.
The main thing I wanted it for was to use the key fob to put the windows down. Nope, not in N America.

@@MarkCalica explain. Menu in the carista app and reset?
He literally showed that in the video
Anyone know if this can void the warranty?
you dont have to pay for diagnostics just custom and service
I’m hoping to see what it can do for my mk5 golf
same, i just ordered it and im waiting, is it any good?
So to customise the car you have to pay
Airbag light?
i would pay the $10 fee just to turn off the 39 degree warning in my VW. didn't see that option though.
Yeah I've never found a way to adjust the temp warning, or lengthen the lane keeping assist
Now thats what happen when you buy genuine stuff 😂😂😂
Does it require points like the obdeleven?
No but it requires a paid subscription. No manual long coding access even with one.
Netcruzer RC TECH CARS - any idea whet could be Done for a jetta2013?
So you pay to have the customs on?if you pay and cancel it do you keep what customized or cancels customs when you cancel subscription
You keep what you customized when subscription ends.
Good info. I WAS liking this app/interface until it appears you must by the monthley service in addation to buying the OBD interface hardware.... :(
Do you have a recommendation for a tool like this app that the only cost is purchasing the Interface hardware?
Looking for a app/device for my 2019 4runner (USDM)
mugenrios2k tbf the device is pretty cheap at £15 and you get one month free which should be enough time to figure out what you want to change up!
They dont even allow the one week pass anymore.
Please I can you tell the name of the obd2 that you are using thank you
Carista OBD2 device
I didnt mean the carista one I meant the other one sir thank you
Nice Review. I was gonna buy one but I thought I should look at some reviews first, and yours was the holy grail of don't buy this piece of shit.
Thanks for the detailed review and for saving me money.
It’s changed quite a bit over time and now does a lot more than I showed. I just dislike the timed subscription model.
So much better with Android.
S*cks 💯 it doesn't support customizations on my f10 AND my f20.. also 60euro for a year? After I bought the obd2 for 20euro on Amazon.. it's a scam for bmw users.
can't yuo Buy just a normal scanner on the shelf
It’s only 50 bucks. It’s not like it’s 100+ dollars just for the obdeleven connector
Use from amazon japan
Can you correct mileage?
aneurin2711 why isn’t your mileage correct?
Unless your talking about winding the mileage back to make it appear like you have done less miles and increase your cars value.....
No cap 😳
Worst review ive seen. He didn’t try anything more or less just moaned about the carista the whole video 👎🏾
Too much waffle just get to the point
VAG-COM is always free though
vag-com is always 200$ though
Vag-com is always not compatible with ios
Just go and get OBDEleven instead of this junk of tool.
@Xander. Tell me friend. Can we use Obdeleven in other apps like Carista or Carscanner?
The link no longer works. Get Carista - USA: @t CANADA: @t
