CaristaEVO - Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner - Car Scanner Diagnostic Tool and Code Reader with Access to Diagnostics, Customizations, Service Tools, and Live Data

It works great depending on what you want to do. The subscription fee is a bit ridiculous but all I wanted to do was shut the obnoxious seatbelt chime on a new Toyota Tundra off after it woke my napping 2 year old up in his car seat. It’s very easy to install and use. Just buy a one month subscription for $15 and do what you need to do and then cancel the subscription.

Works great!! And you don’t have to keep paying the subscription after you do the changes you want to do which is awesome & when you do decide to use it again just repay the subscription use it and cancel it again the changes still stay after definitely worth it and the Bluetooth connectivity is a perfect 10 and what you see is what you get.

I bought this to change some settings on my 2020 Escape. Before buying, I looked into the subscription plan that says it’s needed for multiple vehicles. Not a problem, I was only using it on one. Then I used the stupid thing. Nope, need a subscription to change any setting. I paid my $9.99 for a month and tried it out. Below are my thoughts…The settings available WILL vary from what is shone online. Even then, they don’t work properly. I could get the windows down to work with fob, but never up. It also didn’t control the sunroof as it said it would. Most settings make no sense and aren’t explained. My factory DRL settings say DRL 1 brightness is 10% while DRL brightness 2 is 100%. What do you even change with that?The live data is the worst I have even seen. Most vehicle systems only give you a few values that are worthless. My favorite is parked with the engine running, the live data said it’s commanding and making 14 PSI of boost. $9.99 a month and you couldn’t compensate for atmospheric pressure?Lastly, you must maintain your subscription to be able to continue to change settings, which is absolutely ridiculous. You charge between $70-$100 for the device (one of the most expensive on the market) then require a subscription for some pathetic live data and beta test features? Lol, absolutely not. Easiest return I’ve ever done, minus the $10 I’ll never get back, unfortunately.

even though i question the subscription model/app cost, i knew before purchasing. i expected a free month trial with the evo .. i didn't receive one after going through the stated "hoops". fast it's not. even after the equipment/app costs, it's still very reasonable for diy however does not provide access to all "hidden" customization available .. most were already accessible via car menus but it is nice to see them grouped in one "place". i sure a someone that turns a wrench would find more value .. i'm not a mechanic, diy or otherwise.

Bueno

The instructions work, so I highly recommend them. I purchased the Evo unit, and got a deal on the app. It worked very well with my Samsung s21 ultra in the parking lot of my place. Bluetooth was smooth and fast. I changed the battery in my VW Golf mk8, and needed to register it. It worked perfectly for that. Done in a matter of minutes. Actually saved quite a lot when compared to doing it at a dealer, and don't really trust anyone else because I don't know anyone here yet. There are already changes that I have made to my display for accessibility reasons. My vision is not that great. Changed the speedometer and some other things. It's just a fantastic little device, and it works well with the app which is I must say very good for my purpose. Others may need something more extensive, and even pay less. I got what I wanted for the money I spent, and I'm not finished enjoying it yet. Also I talked to Ali on the phone, and he was super informative and very easy to understand and so far as technical things. I am new at this, so I really liked the reassurance of knowing. I'd like to thank them for that. Five stars from me.

Muy bueno para VAG

I bought this item for over $70 and you still want to charge me a $15 monthly subscription to use it? Seriously?!? The item didn’t even provide all the functions advertised. I paid for the $15 for one month and was extremely disappointed for what I got. My advice is to get a much cheaper version less than $10 and use the free apps. This item is no different than the cheap $10 items.
