Carista

Hi AudiWorld,

I'd like to introduce our Android app called Carista that allows you to read and clear fault codes on all Audi ECUs, as well as change customization settings (a.k.a. adaptations). Carista connects to your car via a standard ELM327 Bluetooth OBD adapter (which is cheap - around $10-20 on Amazon or ebay) and can communicate with all modules in the car. This includes ABS, airbag, navigation, central electronics, etc., not just the usual OBD2 stuff.



The app itself is free to download, but if you want to use the VAG-specific features, you have to buy the Pro Package as an in-app purchase through Google Play. It costs $19.99 (USD) and gives you unlimited lifetime access to all customizations and diagnostics for all currently-supported models. Compare that to going to a dealer ONCE or buying expensive cables/software and lugging a laptop around.

More info on our web site: http://www.caristaapp.com/

We now have a beta version that adds coding capabilities, i.e. lots more configurable options for Audi cars. Check it out here: Beta-Testing | Carista OBD2 - Vehicle Diagnostics and Customization

Carista

Update: we released version 2.2 earlier this week, which adds lots of new customizations for all VW & Audi models, incl. ones based on "long coding", etc.

Do you also plan a release for iOS devices?

What additional features do you get with the pro version? Also, your website has a link for a list of sample customizations for a A6 C7 but the list is empty.
