It used to work on generic Elm327 cheapo obd11 Bluetooth adaptor. They have introduced a feature where it only works if you use their Evo adaptor. We all know what comes after you go down that path. Subscribtion rates will go up. A basic law of the jungle. I have tried 3 or 4 different Elm327s and none connect. I don't believe you.
gets more expensive yet half the customise features still don't work. Now they have even locked more diagnostics behind the pay wall and upped the price by 50% with no new working benefits to justify it. The amount of times it has accidentally renewed over the few years I have had it as well just adds salt to wound from a money hungry company with buggy features in their app. looking for alternatives as I won't pay 15 quid for 1 month.
APP AGAIN IS UNSTABLE!! NOW IT DOESNT RECOGNIZE MY ACCOUNT LOG IN!!! Editing review: I have reset the Carista OBD2 module by pulling it out and putting it back in. It appears to be workiing fine now. I have requested some time ago that you make the font for the TPMS reading a little bigger. The screeen has plenty of room on it but the vital numbers, the actual Tire Pressure are so small I need to take the phone out of it's cradle to read it. Every other useless font is big enough to read.
I can't believe they haven't added support for the MK9 transit, it's only been out for 6 years. otherwise good product
I'm giving you five stars. I haven't used the app and only downloaded it to give a review. I came across your app on another platform and I thought it to be genius. I love that there are people out there creatively innovating ways and means to make things that are complicated or time consuming, simple to understand and do. Life is hard enough as it is and it makes my day when I stumble across amazing ideas such as this. Well done.
Excellent and easy to use app for diagnostics, much more than basic OBD2. Nice interface, quick response, can unlock a lot of hidden festures, whuch you cannot via car built in menus. BUT you cannot perform maintenance tasks, like bleed brakes, reset service intervals, test systems, like ABS, vipers etc, which you can do with ThinkDiag or Carly for example. If you ask me, Carista has most user friendly interface, ThinkDiag has all features almost all mechanic needs, but interface is confusing.
I purchased a one month only non-renewing subscription. Carista still charged for another month. I had notified of my cancellation of Carista before the posting date of the additional month of a non-authorized charge for what I thought was a one month non-renewing subscription originally purchased per there selection at time of purchase. I can't recommend Carista and would suggest using a different device and app for service because of their, shall I say, questionable and unclear subscriptions.
It's genuinely crazy- you buy an adapter...and then they force you to buy the software subscription just to use it! After the 30 day "free trial" expires im stuck with a useless tool. And it's a lie that it gives you "basic" codes even without the subscription, it rarely might but usually it's all blocked out. Total waste of money, just get a relatively inexpensive real hardware scanner...
Beware, this is a scam. if you purchase a 1 month subscription, it enrolls you in a MONTHLY subscription. This is not stated anywhere. The device was missing features they advertised, so if you think you're paying for a one month trial, you're not. Check your Google Play account.
I bought the Carista OBD2 adapter and a subscription about 2 years ago. I unlocked some features on my Toyota and canceled the subscription. Now that I have a different car, I checked for compatibility and it said I could unlock features. Only after paying $15 did it bother to tell me I need the upgraded adapter. I spent the money, but to do anything they need more. Feels like bait and switch at this point.
