Leave a Review Carista OBD2
Doesn’t properly support obdlink mx+
Claims to support obdlink Mx+. Latest update notes even state improved support. However it keeps telling me to update the firmware with the obdlink app. Obdlink app says it’s on the latest firmware. I would pay to use the paid features of this app but I’m not willing to pay for yet another dongle to do so.Show lessNimdae
Excellent and invaluable app!
I had been at my wit’s end trying to enable certain features in my car that I felt certain were available. The dealership was no help; the manufacturer was even worse. I took a chance by buying the Carista OBD with its one-month free trial, and together they solved every single problem I had.7957368
Works welll
You can disable many annoying beeps, features and restrictions. And just for that, it’s worth it. Works well on my 2018 Golf GTI.David9962000

Just the ability to disable the auto stop/start makes this app worth 5 stars. The added little tweaks along with that are gravy. With so many available for my car it can be hard to find then sometimes, but it’s a minor flaw in a product that works as advertised.Malthaas
Not user friendly or flexible
I bought the dongle and never got my month of free service. Further more there is no option to buy anything in the app.
~~Please add more buying features to the app in the menu!~~
You Carista devs don’t seem to realize that you would get more consumers if you made an option for some features available with one single purchase. Like one car company only with single purchase. The monthly payment shouldn’t be the only option. And paying monthly just to be able to adjust my seatbelt light flashing is downright ridiculous!! ONE STAR until this app is overhauled. There are many better apps out that offer the same stuff but cheaper or free.Show lessMrOBD
Customization not working
This app is unable to recognize my vehicle VW Jetta 2008 GLI. I can scan for errors, but when I try to customize something I only see an error that there is no customization for my vehicle and it doesn’t supported, while this vehicle is the same platform as Jetta Mk5. Please fix this issue somehowRoma3191
Does what it says, but only minimal usefulness
First, it works perfectly. For customization, though, while there are probably a hundred different options I can customize, most are options I could already customize right from the car’s menus. They also include a lot of useless options that nobody would ever care or want to change. That said, I bought it to fix two issues and it was able to solve one beautifully. I used it to shut off the engine auto-off when stopped at a stoplight. For that alone, it was worth the price of the module (and I accomplished that with the free trial, so no cost for the app). The other issue I was hoping it would fix was the unreasonably loud and long warning dings when I open the car door with the car running. Sadly, turning that off (or even adjusting the volume) isn’t an option. Either way, it was worth the cost for the one problem it solved, so I can’t complain. It may be great for the diagnostic tools, but I have no need for that, so I can’t comment.Show lesssaleen8927
Ok before reading the terms of use
The application seems okay, but after reading their terms of use, I deleted it as quickly as I could. Quoting a section (capitalisation in the original text), read part vi:

The best out there
I’ve used a lot of these products and apps and this one is hands down my favoriteD Ferrari Wilson
Way too expensive
Product does what it says it does but there’s no reason it’s $40 a year! I bought the device for $30 and one year pro and made the adjustments I needed to in my car. That’s $70 plus another $40 for year two. This product is not worth $110+ beware of autorenewing subscriptions!JJMick6
