Cool, glad to hear that. You emailed us about the heated seats and TPMS, right? The available settings should be the same between our Android and iOS version. Please try again and send a report if you don't see that setting.

Glad you were able to connect. The update did fix some connection issues. But you SHOULD be able to save settings. Is it because the app asks for the Pro Package or is it because it fails to actually save the setting for some other reason? If it's the latter, please try again and after it fails, go back to the main screen and use the "Report a problem" button. Note that when you're sending the report, you need to have an internet connection, i.e. you need to disconnect from the WiFi OBD device.

I ordered this one:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MTH73O8

Plugged it in yesterday and it worked perfectly with my 3RX - Carista worked great. Only thing I wanted to change was the seat belt nag/chime.

Carista - is there a changelog for the beta versions you released? Just wondering if additional options have been added or anything like that.

Thanks,
Eric

Great to hear that it worked!
So far it's just been bug fixes and UI improvements (and the ability to send reports and collect debug data). We do not anticipate any new available customization being added during this beta period because we're taking the exact set of customizations from our Android app and making the iOS app work with them. But who knows, if there's some quick and easy option we could add, it's possible that we could do it within the beta. In any case, we will add changelog info in the descriptions through TestFlight.

Not sure I'm following what the real benefit is to having Carista. What diagnostic info is everyone after that isn't already available with the existing computer? What are the desirable customizations?

Any insight will be appreciated. New GS owner trying to figure out all the features and functions of this awesome car.

Thanks!

I spent a little while testing it on my GS and it worked great. Tried it out on my wifes Toyota Sienna and it worked realy well as well. Adjusted a few things and saw no errors at all. Very nice app

How did you get this connector to work? My phone sees it and connects to its wifi but it doesn't seem to do anything beyond that.

Open the app and choose customize and wait about 2-3 minutes for program to load.

I think my adapter is DOA. The wifi shows up but no apps read from it. When I select customize it just says my car is not supported. When I select check faults it says car is not on.

Darn. Guess I'll get a replacement adapter first.

Make sure the wifi elm is pushed in all the way and be sure that you push the start button twice without your foot on brake. Sometimes you have to go through the process cycle a couple of times.

Nope. No go. Time to contact Amazon.

Default Ambient Lighting

Can you remove dimming of the ambient lighting along the doors with this app.? Parked the lighting is brighter along the door trim.
