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.

I like it because it is simple to use and explains what each item does

I have the older version for my Tundra and worked great and did all the things I need. I got a new Ford F-150 Raptor along with the newest Carista., verified through the website of the features that it could change. Literally does 1 thing with my DRL and that’s it! Says other features are coming soon and wants to join the beta program. Very much false advertising

The Carista EVO Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner is an incredibly handy tool for both casual car owners and enthusiasts. I’ve been using it to check engine codes, monitor live data, and even customize some of my car’s settings—all straight from my phone.Setup was easy. I plugged the device into the OBD2 port, paired it with the Carista app, and I was ready to go. The app is user-friendly and offers clear explanations for error codes, which saves time and money by avoiding unnecessary trips to the mechanic.One of the standout features is the customization options. I was able to tweak settings like auto-lock behavior, lighting controls, and even some driving assistance features. The live data monitoring is also impressive, giving real-time updates on engine performance and sensor readings.The only downside is that some advanced features require a paid subscription to the app, but the free version still offers plenty of useful tools for basic diagnostics and troubleshooting.And here’s a quick joke: Why did the OBD2 scanner become a therapist? Because it’s great at reading your car’s feelings!Overall, the Carista EVO Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner is a reliable and easy-to-use diagnostic tool. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to monitor their car’s health, save money on minor fixes, and customize their driving experience—all from their smartphone.

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!!!

Works as advertised, lets me fine tune my driving experience. Well worth the minimal cost.

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.

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.
