Carista OBD adaptor
« on: 01 March 2020, 11:56:38 »

Anybody use one of these on their car? I bet Tunnie has one!

Handy for resetting service intervals or disabling stop start.

I use OBDEleven Pro on the Audi. Have switched on quite a few things that the manufacturer chose to not activate.  Stop/start can be switched off or inverted so that it defaults to off instead of on, service intervals reset, oil service reset and rear brake wind out and tons more. It uses the same long coding as Vag-Com but instead of a laptop you can operate it on a phone/tablet using the OBD port dongle.
I should add that it only fully functions on Android, although they are working on an iPhone version. It's aimed at VW Audi group vehicles only at the moment.

I know Audi, for the past 6 or 7 years if it sees a dealer, will normally reset everything back to what they have on record.  I suspect other manufacturers are likely to follow suit now, if they haven't already.

That's correct, hence why they ask if your vehicle has been remapped, so that they don't un-remap it.  :D

Got one in the vRS and it works a treat. Although mine is on the crossover between facelift and not (2009) so a lot of the features just aren't fitted in my car.
Eml codes etc work perfectly.
