I bought the app when it was still a onetime payment, at the time pretty expensive, but I liked it a lot, changed a lot of things on various Toyotas that I owned. Now I have a new Audi but most options are locked which need an active subscription and a Carista adapter, but even when trying to change a simple non-locked option it gives me an error after 25%, so I'm not going to try the subscription if even the simple things do not work

I realized I was a bit too harsh with my original review. So I am editing it, the app works just fine, the rating is reflective of their pricing strategy. I deal with Chinese manufacturers of similar things every day. Even with the tariffs, they are making a good bit of dough selling you a 60$ OBD2 dongle. This is fine I guess, because it does give you very limited ability to change a couple of options. The subscription is WAY overpriced and not worth it with no lifetime access option.

Thanks for the feedback! Our adapter isn’t a generic $5 device—it’s custom-built for secure, high-speed communication with modern vehicles. The subscription supports ongoing updates and new features. For advanced diagnostics and customizations, Carista offers a complete, reliable solution. All OBD2 features do not require a subscription.

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.

Hi Kim, I see you’ve only provided a report from one ELM327 scanner, which was identified as defective. Would you be able to share the reports from the other ELM327 scanners you’ve tried? As we’ve noted previously, our Carista app is compatible with ELM327 v1.4 scanners.
