Wonderful

Very useful, great too clear code
Good customisation

Get a Vagcom 401

This app wants way too much money for basic functions. Get yourself a 401 VAGCOM and save your money.

Great Car customizing app

This allowed me to change the number of flashes on my 2020 Tacoma. Something the dealership wanted $60 to change for me. Awesome App! Would definitely recommend!

Don’t be fooled!

Requires subscription for individual use.

This used to be decent but now requires subscription. Now I regret previously buying the OBD2 Carista device.

I use it for my personal car(s), not as a commercial tool; there’s no reason to charge a subscription fee for this.

And a one time fee for $10/month is too expensive. Bought their hardware, now they’re trying to get even more money out of you. Shame on them. Just greedy.

There are better free options out there for diagnostics and much cheaper generic OBD2 devices. Don’t be fooled!

Do not recommend, and will not support future devices/services.

——-

I suggest making this completely free for up to 2 cars per year. Your ratings and downloads will go up, and users who will actually get use out of it to be worth the subscription fee will rise as well.

Great App!

I’ve been updating control modules on my vehicles for years with Ford and Mopar vehicles and always had to use the wired OBD adapter plugged in to my laptop. I’ve always been an Apple guy so in order to use the software I had to either run bootcamp or virtual windows on my MacBook. It’s been a necessary evil to accomplish the changes I wanted to make.

Carista absolutely blows that away. I never knew this type of setup existed and thought it was too good to be true when I stumbled across it on a forum. Coming from how I’ve always had to do things in the past I’m extremely happy with this product.

Lots of customization options and based on the current beta they have plenty more customizable options coming soon!

THIS APP IS INCREDIBLE

Had this app over 2 years now, my last car was an Audi and it was a godsend with that car, the latest is a BMW, it doesn’t do as much but still can do some things. I am going to keep my subscription going so these guys can further there incredible work. Looking forward to seeing what comes next from Carista..... keep up the good work guys........

Outstanding product and support.

I bought this to customize my 2012 bmwz4 sdrive 3.0. Worked perfectly. Great tech support for my questions. Good value.

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.

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.

Great value

Very happy to see updates and additional support for my mk7 GTI increasing the value of the Carista. I feel like there used to be monthly subscriptions that were better than the weekly ones. A week is sometimes not enough to review the changes and decide whether you want to keep them or not. You cannot undo a change if your subscription expires.
Overall a great tool for the money. Looking forward to more features and customization coming.
