CaristaEVO - Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner - Car Scanner Diagnostic Tool and Code Reader with Access to Diagnostics, Customizations, Service Tools, and Live Data

The instructions work, so I highly recommend them. I purchased the Evo unit, and got a deal on the app. It worked very well with my Samsung s21 ultra in the parking lot of my place. Bluetooth was smooth and fast. I changed the battery in my VW Golf mk8, and needed to register it. It worked perfectly for that. Done in a matter of minutes. Actually saved quite a lot when compared to doing it at a dealer, and don't really trust anyone else because I don't know anyone here yet. There are already changes that I have made to my display for accessibility reasons. My vision is not that great. Changed the speedometer and some other things. It's just a fantastic little device, and it works well with the app which is I must say very good for my purpose. Others may need something more extensive, and even pay less. I got what I wanted for the money I spent, and I'm not finished enjoying it yet. Also I talked to Ali on the phone, and he was super informative and very easy to understand and so far as technical things. I am new at this, so I really liked the reassurance of knowing. I'd like to thank them for that. Five stars from me.

Muy bueno para VAG

I bought this to change some settings on my 2020 Escape. Before buying, I looked into the subscription plan that says it’s needed for multiple vehicles. Not a problem, I was only using it on one. Then I used the stupid thing. Nope, need a subscription to change any setting. I paid my $9.99 for a month and tried it out. Below are my thoughts…The settings available WILL vary from what is shone online. Even then, they don’t work properly. I could get the windows down to work with fob, but never up. It also didn’t control the sunroof as it said it would. Most settings make no sense and aren’t explained. My factory DRL settings say DRL 1 brightness is 10% while DRL brightness 2 is 100%. What do you even change with that?The live data is the worst I have even seen. Most vehicle systems only give you a few values that are worthless. My favorite is parked with the engine running, the live data said it’s commanding and making 14 PSI of boost. $9.99 a month and you couldn’t compensate for atmospheric pressure?Lastly, you must maintain your subscription to be able to continue to change settings, which is absolutely ridiculous. You charge between $70-$100 for the device (one of the most expensive on the market) then require a subscription for some pathetic live data and beta test features? Lol, absolutely not. Easiest return I’ve ever done, minus the $10 I’ll never get back, unfortunately.

even though i question the subscription model/app cost, i knew before purchasing. i expected a free month trial with the evo .. i didn't receive one after going through the stated "hoops". fast it's not. even after the equipment/app costs, it's still very reasonable for diy however does not provide access to all "hidden" customization available .. most were already accessible via car menus but it is nice to see them grouped in one "place". i sure a someone that turns a wrench would find more value .. i'm not a mechanic, diy or otherwise.

28JUL24New news! This is NOT a universal scan tool. Although it worked perfectly on my Toyota, which is what I bought it for, I can't say the same for my Chrysler vehicles. Chrysler (and GM) are not listed as supported vehicles. Surprise! Just because it supports some esoteric niche need doesn't guarantee anything. Carista obviously knows this because there are many warnings asking the buyer to verify Carista will work with their vehicle. In retrospect, I could have saved a few dollars if I'd purchased the original Carista.25JUL24I have a 2024 Camry XSE and now I can open the windows and sunroof remotely with my key fob. It took about 5 minutes to complete setting up this customized feature. It was very easy. The Toyota dealer wanted $150 to do it! It cost me about $80 and I have a great OBD2 to use for my vehicle diagnostics. The Carista EVO actually outperformed the X-Tool D7 because the D7 can't perform this procedure and it costs more than $350. I know, I borrowed one from my brother and it was a waste of time. I ended up calling the people at X-Tool and they confirmed this too.

It is amazing. I was able to turn off annoying seatbelt buzzer.…Enabled remote to roll down windows & open the moonroof. Enabled the mechanical key to roll windows back up…. Too many options to list using this module... a keeper for sure!!!

I bought because I wanted to change option in my car but it won’t give to change some features, need to pay for one year to open unlock features and will change options. There in your car has default options but some features are OFF if you want change to ON. So I keep it for future if appear check engine and won’t it return..

Before purchasing this product I asked their sales team via whether not this item would do a DPF regen. I was told yes and was given a link for a step by step process on how to do the regen. However, there were many people claiming that it wouldn’t do the regen. Upon purchasing and install the app/device there was no option. With it being outside of business hours and no support, I decide to purchase the premium part of the app hoping that it would unlock this said feature. I contacted their Facebook page hoping to get an answer. I was told to use the app to contact the support team for a possible “bug”. There isn’t a bug, this feature simply doesn’t exist. After waiting two days for the support team to respond, I was told to submit another ticket to get the “bug” fixed. My ticket was closed out and there is still no DPF regen option. Save your money and don’t purchase this product unless you want a product that doesn’t work and terrible customer service with limited hours.
