Great tool, Id rate it higher than OBD11
Having used many diagnostic tools for years, including the USB types such as OBD11, I rate this higher for regular users as it is not pay per option, but subscription based. I also find the GUI easier to use than OBD11 and it seems quicker and more responsive. When I’m not using it with the Carista app, it can also be used as a dongle to connect to my android phone running VAG DPF app (other diagnostic apps will work in same way) so I can keep a real time eye on my DPF and its regeneration.Very easy to setup and I’ve recommended one to friends due to its easy ability to read and reset codes and quite easily interpret live data

Cant pay for this using Google Play Redeem Vouchers – Despicable
OK…. its managed to get 3 stars…. just…. hang on…. no, just changed it to 2Lets be clear, you’re buying this either:-1. You have a specific requirement2. Your inquisitive nature is getting the better of youI am 1 – To replace rear discs and pads on an Audi Q3 is £400 – at a dealer or not.The parts cost me £76 and the job takes about 2 hours if you have difficulty jacking up a car – an hour if you don’t. The problem is that the electronic brake needs to be disabled to allow brake pistons to be pushed back to get the pads onto new discs, and you can do this either by dismantling the motor (as per YouTube), or properly by disabling the EPB in service mode. – And thats why I bought one of these. So I can change pads and rotors for about £140. – So give it a star for that saving.Functionally, its basic. You can enable some settings that are hidden by the default vehicle management settings for some reason, make the lights flash, alarm beep etc…. (give it a star for that – even though you have to pay £33 for the pro version for year to change anything or see the fault codes – but I knew that before I ordered it)It arrived the following day, excellent service – gets a star for that…..(probably Amazon – thank you)And thats it….. oh hang on….. it needs to lose a star…..If you have any sense of personal security, you won’t want to put your personal details, card details, paypal etc….. into a mobile phone or tablet (I’m on Android so really don’t want to put anything on google store)…. so, anyone trying to safeguard their pennies would (quite logically) get a Google Play redeem voucher….. DONT – Carista app does not recognise google redeem vouchers are eligible methods to pay ….Why on earth would they prohibit that I hear you asking? Well I can only assume that it is so that they have a method to charge you for the second year subscription without you remembering to cancel your payment – real cute CONISTA…. If you are forced to put in Paypal or Credit card (and they do actually say this in the terms) they can carry on charging you for the privilege of having it forever – without seeking your permission (presumably?) – I can’t see what other reason they wouldn’t work with Google to pass payment from the Play store to Carista..In fact, now I type this…. guess what, you can have 1 star, and if I could give you 0 stars for despicable business practice, i would.Don’t waste £35 on Google Play vouchers to pay for this App – it will not work. I can’t comment on the IOS version, but assume its the same deal.You’ll have to buy the pro version with Paypal, then swap your payment method to Google Play store to remove Paypal from your Google Play account/ phone.If anyone can find a more straightforward way to disengage electronic parking brakes through OBD please post here.

Fácil de usar.Realmente lo compré para personalizar el tablero de instrumentos para un Jetta MK6 2018 y una Tiguan Sport&Style 2013, en ambos funcionó.Aparte probé el scanner en una Frontier SV 2012 y me arrojó varios testigos y códigos por reparar, muy bien.Puedes usar la prueba gratis del mes y cancelar la renovación dos días antes, así le hice yo en un iPhone; lo que realmenre está caro es la suscripción.

Works as advertised. Slow! I would buy the upgraded version for the faster comms, but it does what it should. New Tundra’s chime doesn’t turn off as fast as the older ones. SUPER ANNOYING! This fixed that issue and added a couple other decent features. Also, I would leave it plugged in as I drove. Starting noticing the check engine light coming on and throwing codes that do not make sense. Only plug it in to make changes, and the codes stopped. BUT! $100.00 bucks (app and device) to stop the annoying chimes, worth it.
