News for anyone with carista obd2 tool and app. Theres a new version out now. If you already have pro you can update for free. Im told thats for life. If you buy now i think you can also upgrade for the old one of fee for a short time only. After this time it is a subscription for one year only.

Cheers for that I just updated now!

How did you update it? On my iPad, Apple just wants to reinstall the pro version I own, even though I tried installing the new version.

I'm on V3.0. No update for me on android

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7

I just went to app store and redownloaded over existing app and reinstall paid purchase from in app settings

If they ever manage to add "second foglight on FL Octy 2 - enable" then I'll buy on the spot

Unlikely - not even do-able with VCDS

It has now updated itself automatically!

It now has 'Australian' setting for the large speedo and needle sweep

Darrell do u have maxidot ?

I do yes

Wish I had known the diffrence before hand I'd prob look round a little longer to see if I could pick one up with It fitted

The only disappointment with this is it doesn't seem able to apply the setting of 5 flashes for the one-touch indicator. It says it does but it remains at 3 flashes. Other than that it's a great app, so it's a welcome update.

If you set this with VCDS, you then have to go into Maxidot and reset to factory settings for it to work. I'm sure it's the same with Carista.

Perhaps it depends on the model year. It works ok on my non maxidot MY 2012. I set mine to four flashes after trying other values.

One of the best things about Carista is that it can give you a full check of all modules with a listing of parts numbers and coding of controller, like this:

Genius! That's exactly what it was. Reset to factory of just that section and it now works. Thank you!

I guess that's one advantage of VCDS; you get a little more guidance about post-change actions you need to take.
