The Carista OBD adapter is a unique new device that allows you to use the Carista app on both Android and iOS to customize your vehicle’s convenience settings and perform advanced, manufacturer-specific diagnostics.
Free OBD2 Diagnostics
Check and reset your “Check engine”/”Service engine soon” light with the Carista app! You can see the fault code and description and reset the light. This functionality is compatible with all OBD2 vehicles (2001+ petrol, 2004+ diesel).
Vehicle Customizations*
Together with the Carista app, this adapter can personalize the electronic settings on your Audi, BMW, Mini, Lexus, Seat, Skoda, Toyota or VW (supported models only; see Carista’s web site for more info). Additional in-app purchase is required.
Manufacturer-Specific Diagnostics*
Carista can also do advanced diagnostics and check/clear airbag, ABS and other manufacturer-specific lights and fault codes on supported models from Audi, BMW, Mini, Lexus, Seat, Skoda, Toyota and VW (supported models only; see Carista’s web site for more info). Additional in-app purchase is required.

Where to Get the Carista App
You can find the Carista OBD2 app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The app is free to download, but if you’d like to use the manufacturer-specific functionality (customizations and advanced diagnostics), you have to upgrade to the Pro Package as an in-app purchase.
Compatibility with Other Apps
This adapter can also be used with other ELM327-based apps on Android (OBD Fusion, Torque, DashCommand, etc.). It can be used only with Carista and OBD Fusion on iOS due to the proprietary Bluetooth LE communication that Apple forces on us.
