Carista

Hi guys, we've been hard at work on our iOS version and it's finally done! With Carista for iOS, you can change your Lexus Personalized Settings just using your smartphone and a small OBD dongle that plugs into the car's diagnostic port.

For iPhone/iPad: get it from the Apple App Store (released today!); you also need a WiFi ELM327 OBD device: http://www.caristaapp.com/hardware/?platform=ios
For Android: the app has been available on Google Play Store for a while now; you need a Bluetooth ELM327 OBD device: http://www.caristaapp.com/hardware/?platform=android

The set of customizable settings (LPS) that Carista supports differ based on the year, model, country, factory options, etc. But luckily, Carista shows you the settings that your specific vehicle supports for free, BEFORE you have to pay. If you want to be able to CHANGE settings, you need to buy the Pro Package, which currently costs $19.99 (USD). It's an in-app purchase through the app.

That's about it Let me know if you guys have questions or run into issues. And enjoy your RC-F the way you want it, not necessarily the way it came from the factory. P.S. all setting changes are reversible.

I don't want to buy the OBD device just to check what settings could be customized, can you post a list of that instead?

Can this app do anything that I can't directly from the vehicle? Thanks.

Carista

Yes, it can definitely change things (many things!) that are not available through the customizations menu in the navigation screen. Here's a sample list of settings from a customer's 2015 RC-F. Your settings will be similar, but keep in mind that the exact list depends on the year, factory options, market, etc.

Seems awesome. Why no IS-F?

Carista

Thanks
No IS-F because there's no 3rd-gen IS-F yet, and we don't support any 2nd-gen IS models (due to the fact that they use a different electronic communication protocol).

aWorkOfArt

^ Awesome stuff, I cant wait for my OBD device to get here so i can pay for the Pro Package.

You guys wouldnt be able to have an option to disable the headlight washer would you?

TimboIS

I doubt Lexus made a setting for that. Otherwise they'd have it listed.

Looks pretty complete otherwise.

That would be enough reason to buy this app, every time I want to wash my windshield at night I have to turn off the headlamps to avoid it from splashing blue fluid all over the hood.
