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…
It was confusing at first to use. Nothing work except to read. Once I was in contact with support, it work after the full subscription was pay. I was able to reset a few thing on the wife car. Also found things the car did not have some option. In all, I have to say, it did save us money than going to the dealer. I recommend Carista has to post on their site to on full pay subscription will grant all option. Thanks again for the support.
I was able to make two changes to my car and avoided the dealer expense and time but I will say options are very limited. There are only a few things that you can only do through the app versus the in car options. I only did the one month subscription because I can’t see the need to have a yearly since you will make changes once and your done. I had my own obd2 adaptor so made using the app more cost effective. It’s good but would be great if if had more customization options.
Easy and Functional The customization feature is awesome. Worth the price of admission. Which means to get the app fully functional, you need to buy a subscription. Still cheaper than going to the dealer to have them do the same thing and charge each time you want to try a new setting. Very happy, we have three Toyota’s in our family, all are customizable.
