Pricing:
All paid features (see below) are available with an in-app purchase of our Pro functionality: a 1-week pass for $9.99 or an auto-renewable annual subscription at $39.99 USD (auto-renewing can be disabled in your Account Settings in iTunes after the purchase). If you use the official Carista OBD2 adapter, you will receive a free one-month trial of all paid features.
Free Features:
• Diagnose: Carista checks your vehicle's health and enables you to clear any fault codes to reset your “check engine" light. You can also ensure you are ready for emissions testing.
Paid Features (supported vehicles only):
• Diagnose: Unlike regular OBD2 apps, Carista gives you access to advanced manufacturer-specific diagnostics related to various vehicle electronic control units (ECU) such as ABS, airbag, immobilizer, navigation, and traction control.
• Customize: Carista lets you personalize the way your car behaves. Say you want your headlights to come on automatically when you start the engine; or you want the doors to lock when you start moving; or you want to change the type of beep that the reverse parking sensors make. It’s as easy as customizing the settings on your smartphone.
• Service: Carista gives you access to electronic service tools for your car. You can reset the oil & inspection service indicators, service your electronic parking brake (EPB) to replace your brake pads by yourself, and see your launch control count.

Hardware Requirement:
In order to use Carista, you need an OBD2 adapter - a separate piece of hardware that you plug into the vehicle's diagnostic port under the dash. You can use the Carista OBD2 adapter or a generic ELM327 v1.4 WiFi adapter (just make sure it’s not fake/defective; note that generic Bluetooth adapters are not supported).

Reviews
Subscription options

App is great and worked well on my 2013 VW GTI. Looking for the monthly subscription option, but I only see two options, each for the one year option. Would be great to subscribe every once in while to make some more changes.
Works good
jjflash6203
Purchased the micro mechanic as seen on TV scanner and use the micro mechanic app but that did not work, so I switched apps and use Carista and that app work very well, And That told me what the code was and I was able to clear the code. Very well done.
Expensive and a waste of time
Seimo916
Pretty disappointed. Bought the module thinking that it was it. NO, you need to pay a subscription. You would be better off buying a obd2 code reader and doing things yourself. This is a joke, avoid at all cost.
I was hoping for a little more
Drew_music
To be 100% honest I was thinking that this is going to be a little more of a customizability as well as the diagnostics, and while it does both amazingly well, I just kind of felt like it fell a little short when it comes to customizing. I have a 2013 CC, And I’d say probably 75-85% of the options were available In one of the many menus on the dashboard, And now I know this isn’t the case with some cars, but I sort of felt that they’re needed to be more to justify a $40 a year price tag on-going
Saved me a trip to the dealer

This app is great! I was able to diagnose and make a repair on my car that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. A couple of other apps completely missed the fault code. That, paired with the ability to change dealer-only settings in the car makes this app a winner in my book. The only catch is that you’ll need to do a bit of research to make sure the app will work with your vehicle. If it does, you can’t beat this app and ODB2 adapter for the price!
Missing Many Options

It used to be a good app for my 2006 VW Passat but when I got my 2013 VW CC and was excited to get my remote window features and maybe more I was so disappointed. Not much in this app anymore especially not for the annual fee that I’ve been paying!
In App Purchase info incorrect
JimThePCGuy
The app description in the App Store says there is a 2week Pass option for $9.99 after free trial expires. I only see 1year subscriptions for $39.99. Where is the 2 week Pass?
Unbelievable customer service
A7 Mike
This is the first review I’ve ever written in here but I need to tell everyone how incredible they are here at Carista. I have been using their app since it came out and it really works well. I recently emailed them asking if they can add a customization that I wanted. I wanted to be able to add the ability to add paddle shifters to my Audi A7. They created a beta version with that in it and sent it to me in less then a week to try. It worked great. They followed up with me to see if I was happy. Now that’s customer service. Thanks guys.
