Default ELM327 / techstream / carista ??

Ok I've red a few post but found nothing about the ISF.
I have a bluetooth elm327 with the torque app which can read and erase codes but that's about it.

I'd like to have the features that techstream can provide. Is there a way to use the elm327 with techstream software?

If no, are the ebay/amazon techstream cable ok for a one-timer like me?

Thanks

The bluetooth/wifi elm327 adapters will not work with Techstream. You will need to get the mini VCI cable in order to use Techstream. Most ebay/amazon cables come with the software too.

Techstream works with "MVCI" cables.

Carista works with ELM327 wireless adapters. For more info, see:

Carista does not work with our IS-F cars for anything besides what the Torque app can do. Still need Techstream to change personalized settings.

Ah, yes, sorry, that's correct. Carista does not support customizations for the 2nd gen IS cars, incl. IS-F.

Any plans to add this functionality in the future?

if your going to tune the car I recommend getting the techstream with a good cable to get the data from the car, if you just need to scan codes and reset the bluetooth module is good at that.

And with that, we can stop discussing Techstream from any source other than TIS. The only approved cable is the Mongoose, and the only approved software comes through TIS at $1k annual fee. Any other source of Techstream or Techstream capable devices is using pirate software and as such is not for discussion on this forum. Sorry guys, but it is a very serious site rule.

Or pay $65 for a 2 day subscription which is what I usually do whenever I need to use Techstream.
