Product Information

Carista is compatible with third-party apps: https://caristaapp.com/supported-apps Instructions how to connect to Carista OBD2 scanner Both the Carly and Carista OBD2 scanners work with cars that have OBD2 ports. OBD2 is the most advanced version of the OBD system. Before purchasing a scanner make sure that your car model is compatible with either option. Scanner Carista can also be a very useful tool when buying a used car as, with many compatible vehicles, it will give you a glimpse into their past, perhaps showing you how many times the airbags have been deployed or when it was actually last serviced. Conclusion

Torque Pro is a highly customizable OBD2 tool that you’ll be able to use with almost all vehicles built after 1996. This makes Torque Pro a valid choice for professional mechanics as well as car owners who want to monitor performance. Carista’s live data is quite limited – it can only show engine live data in plain text without any option for graphs or gauges.

Diagnose

Torque Pro can also be used as a custom dashboard to provide more accurate data about your speed, fuel consumption, and engine health whilst you are driving. When operating in this mode, the app can be set up to alert you as soon as it detects any sign of an error code or problem. The Carista OBD2 Scanner is a great tool that allows you access to e-facilities so that you can customize and service your car by yourself. It allows the unit to read DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) of cars manufactured after 1996.

Now its not a dealer level tool, nor is it VCDS, But if your just looking as an end-user looking to add a few tweeks to your motor then its perfect. In theory, this means that any app that’s made to work with ELM327 adapters can work with any ELM327 adapter. However, in practice, many of the “ELM327” adapters out there do not properly implement the ELM327 standard. It’s kind of like a no-brand remote that claims to work with Samsung TVs, but in reality, only the power, channel, and volume buttons work; the “menu” and “input” buttons don’t work. However, this OBD2 app actually includes a few different advanced features that you’d usually only expect to see on much more expensive diagnostic tools. An example of this is the inclusion of ECU coding, which allows the user to alter parts of their vehicle’s CPU and customize it to their requirements. But the most interesting part of Carista is the ‘Customize’ option. In here you can change all manner of ECU options that normally, only dealers have access to.Since every car is uniquely built this feature is only compatible with certain car models. Live Parameters

In later years this was to all change with the standardisation and formation of OBD and OBDII protocols which all the main manufactures had to abide by. The main reason for this was so that 3rd party repair shops would be able to work on your motor and chip away at the monopolisation that the big manufacture’s had at the time. Most OBD2 scanners in the market can perform this function. However, not many give you access to read other manufacturer-level systems which are also critical.

What is it?

For those of you who are interested, you’ll have no troubles working with a wide range of different vehicles in Carista OBD2. Here, the app supports many different car brands of Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Lexus, MINI, Nissan, Scion, SEAT, Škoda, Toyota and Volkswagen, with a large number of their models being fully compatible. In my case, I have 55 control modules in my car, and Carista took approximately 7 minutes to scan them all. On the other hand, OBDeleven was slightly faster, taking around 5 minutes.
