course you can mate the program is free but the cable is pricey and its pretty straightforward 

My lights Flash when I turn alarm on/ off but doesn't beep can this be set up?

Thank you.

FYI : They were turned off as a EU directive some years back, as an annoying unwanted noise that disturbs local residents. Or some such.

Which probably means beeping would be an mot failure. Probably not tho!

Skoda has passed two MOT's with the lock and unlock beep fine! I used carista and a cheap amazon 10 quid wifi obd2 dongle!  

ooh! £10 dongle? does allow me to do things with android apps on my phone to read my car data?

With Android you have to use a Bluetooth adaptor or wifi. Apple doesn't work with Bluetooth hence WiFi. 

 

But having a OBD2 dongle will allow you to change the settings of the car (not loads but the lock and unlock beep is on there) using Carista which doesn't cost much. I diagnosed my DPF sensor failure using that app also set needle sweep in start up, the lock beep, unlock all doors on one press and big MPH on maxidot. 

 

I also use the dongle with an app called DashCmd which allows me to see all the intake sensors, coolant sensors, boost, etc etc on like a virtual dash board! 

 

Tbh I would say having a wifi / bluetooth dongle in your car is always very helpful if your car throws a fault you can read it / clear it and it also works on other cars too.
