thanks a million!

The Carista website only quotes "Sample Customisations" for the Karoq, and doesn't include disabling the Soundaktor in a Karoq Sportline. 

 

Can anyone quote the actual customisations available, and confirm whether it will disable the Soundaktor in a Karoq Sportline, please?

Hi Chris,

I've run through all my options for 'Customisations' - sadly no mention of Soundkator or anything related 😞

Many thanks,

So the only hope is OBDeleven Pro I guess. (I'm asking the same question for that as well

Is there anything useful you can do on a Karoq with Carista?

I emailed the suppliers recently to ask whether I could disable the Soundaktor in a Karoq Sportline, as they said you could do that in other VAG cars with a Soundaktor, but their response was not encouraging! All they could advise was that I should buy one to find what it could do!! As I told them, I consider that to be an odd marketing proposition - buy our product to find out whether it is useful for you! 

 

Other than that, a lot of the features seem to me to be reproduced in the car menu system, and others are of no interest to me (and some are illegal in the UK anyway. Their website quotes "Sample Customizations" as:

What spec/engine is your Karoq please? 

@Tim1631

Mine will be a 2.0TSI Sportline when I get it. (As stated in my sig  ) So it will apparently be fitted with the Soundaktor device, which will probably drive me nuts!

Brilliant, thanks a lot. Its not the greatest of sounds to be honest. I have it on my Octavia.

I'm on my mobile so unable to see any signatures unfortunately. 😎

I've since realised that Merlinman's Edition won't have the Soundaktor, so I guess there's still a chance that when I connect a Carista to a Karoq with the Soundaktor it will give me that app. And I noted in the OBDeleven thread that the Carista seems to work well with the Scandinavian DRLs. So perhaps it#s still worth a punt to see if it does work for me?
