Hey just wanted to share my Carista experience ...

Slightly confusing and TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

Carista OBD dongle worked right off the bat. App saw the Carista OBD dongle with no issues. App let me then be able to purchase PRO version for $19.99. Done. Then I immediately made lots of changes to settings. Windows up/down with smart key, lap timer (for when I go to Starbucks) / oil temp, footwell lighting, no wink on DRL with turn signal. Some worked right away others needed "stuff". Didn't until reading this thread that I have to go in and enable "windows with smart key" in the MMI. Did that, boom, works! I also chose "flash turn signals with emergency stop" but didn't seem to work. Maybe i didn't stop hard enough, didn't get ABS activation so maybe too light of a stop.


I also think a complete shutdown of the car and restart made some items start working as expected.

Don't see "coming home lights time adjustment" = 10, 20, 30, 60 seconds. ?

I had a 2012 B8 and there were a few more options in the MMI than my 2015 B8.5. Maybe there gone permanently?


Anyway, LOVE this app / hardware combo! I support more development and new features even if there is a small upgrade cost.

Keep up the great work guys!
