Carista App and settings.
#31
I updated the carista app with the new version on the play store , it doesnt work any more , it shows me the engine temperature on the overheat alaram option , but doesnt show any codes or any Customization , though i got a new obd device , the device works fine with Torque app, shows real time data etc .. should i try with the old obd device i used to use .. or is it a problem in the beta version ?

It only takes time
After several attempts I was able to make the changes. Part of the problem was I only had $10.50 left in our iTunes account and it would not let me buy the pro version even if I was not going to get charged. I went and bought a $15.00 iTunes gift card and redeemed it. After that when it said buy I said ok and it went right through. It would then allow me to save my changes. The other problem I had was the lack of knowledge using an iPad. Once it was explained to me how to log onto the OBDII device things moved along much smoother. I only changed 2 items. I turned off the DRL's and turned off the rear shade going down when I put it into reverse. Thanks to everyone that provided advice on how to get this done. I also checked the fault codes and reset them I only had 3 and 2 of them dealt with the solar sensors in dash and the other was when the positive battery terminal clamp that got replaced before we bought the car last year.

Looks like you're talking about the Android version. Nowadays the market has been flooded with bad Bluetooth OBD devices that don't work for customizations. They'll work with other apps like Torque that only do standard OBD2 communication, but they do not support the advanced Lexus-specific communication that Carista does... These devices do NOT support the ELM327 v1.4 instruction set that Carista requires (even though their descriptions on amazon say they do). Please try with your old device and if it works fine, I'd recommend returning the new one.
also have you seen if any work around to make the fog lamps work without messing us with the wiring system . if it can be done with programming or something ?
Thanks

But since they're offered by multiple sellers, we cannot guarantee that all of them work.
About the fog lights: what exactly do you want to achieve?

We have a list of ELM327 devices on Amazon here: www.caristaapp.com/hardware/
But since they're offered by multiple sellers, we cannot guarantee that all of them work.

I really want to try this app but I've been having terrible luck trying to find a device that works with the customization, I just received the 3rd one yesterday and keep getting the "OBD device is defective" message every time I try the customization, which indicates the device is not compatible. Does anyone have a link to one that will work and ships to Canada? I'm thinking of trying this one next (maybe I should try a Wi-fi one instead of bluetooth?):
So far I've tried these:
RioRand(TM) Bluetooth Mini Small Interface OBD2 Scanner Adapter TORQUE ANDROID: Amazon.ca: Cell Phones & Accessories
So far I've tried these:
Super Mini ELM327 V1.5 OBD2 OBD-II Bluetooth CAN-BUS Auto Diagnostic Tool for Windows XP, Vista, Win7 and Android: Amazon.ca: Automotive

This is the one I purchased. Worked fine for me with a Nexus 7 on my '07 460L. But as I'm in the states, I don't know if there is an issue with shipping to Canada. Sorry.

I've had this setup for several months using a Samsung GS5 and its worked flawlessly everytime, there was a glich where you had to exit out after evey setting change but that was remedied by a patch or update I think?

Price Break
I see the official version has just been released. Will those who have been running the beta version for testing purposes get a price break from the $19.99 official price?

The procedure is to delete the beta and then install the official version from the App Store.

roadfrog: that ebay one looks pretty much identical to one of the ones I got from Amazon (
Super Mini ELM327 V1.5 OBD2 OBD-II Bluetooth CAN-BUS Auto Diagnostic Tool for Windows XP, Vista, Win7 and Android: Amazon.ca: Automotive
), can I ask a favour? Can you take a quick picture of the electronics inside, I wonder if they have changed and that is why the new ones don't work? Here's mine:Regardless I got one the ebay ones and I ordered a wifi one as well, hopefully I can get one to work lol
This is Lucky number 5:

My sister just picked up a 2015 Toyota Highlander XLE and I know the Carista App will work on the Highlander. What I do not know is to what extent I can customize the Highlander like my LS? Any thoughts on what I can do on the Highlander the next time I go to Omaha?
Thanks
