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.

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.

Easy to connect, a lot of set up can be done, it’s working very well, i hope there will be soon more options for customizing in future updates, keep up the good work!
Just had to write a review
I got this app when I needed to reset some warning lights rather than take to a garage , then I used customisations to get rid of some annoying beeps then enabled child locks for the Kids and just have to say it’s amazing , I then changed my car and wanted the kid lock on again and it was all done within minutes. I just hope they keep updating the app as I will use this no doubt for years to come.

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.

Renault Megane RS support?
I love this app and the customisations I can do on my BMW and Audi cars, however the Renault Megane RS (2013) doesn’t have customisation support? Will this be updated?
Response from developer
Thanks for your review. We are planning to add support for Renault in the future, but haven't gotten to it yet.
Too expensive for what you get
May use it one time but have to pay a lot for it.
Response from developer
Actually, you don't have to pay at all if you just use it one time: there's a free trial. If you need to use it again in the future, you also have the option for a 1-week pass, which is not expensive at all ($10 USD... about the cost of 2 coffees, and much less than a single visit to a dealer or shop).
Misleading free trial
Free trial is misleading, when trying to access paid features there is no free trial option to select only paid subscriptions.
Other than that the app works as expected.

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 somehow
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.
