Will it work with IOS 7 and how much do you have to pay for the version that allows you to change the important settings?

Carista

No, at this time we do not support iOS 7, but we are going to look into adding support for it in an upcoming release. We haven't done enough analysis and research yet.

In order to be able to make changes to your customizations (LPS), you have to buy the Pro Package in the app, which costs $19.99 USD. Seeing a list of the supported customizations by your vehicle, including their current values, is free. Once you get the Pro Package, you can change an unlimited number of customizations on an unlimited number of cars.

So, that means if you've updated to the latest iOS (8.2), there's no hope of using your app?

Carista

No no, iOS 8.2 is fine. Any version that starts with 8 is fine. It's just the older versions that we don't support.

Marqevans

Will it work on a 2015 Highlander?

Marqevans

The problem I have is deleting enough stuff on my IPhone 5c to allow the upgrade. Apple keeps filling up the operating system with more stuff like compatibility with the Iwatch.

Carista

Yes! For a full list, see: http://www.caristaapp.com/supported-vehicles/
Yeah, I understand. Other customers have expressed similar concerns. We're gonna see if we can add support for iOS 7, but I'm not making any promises.

ThChinaman

Is that now an option for the newer models? Would be very helpful if it also works for 2010's.

Carista

I think it works on all years, but it depends on what country the vehicle was made for. Euro and JP models have it available as a setting, I think, but most North-American models don't.

Just used Carista and it had two ABS Codes - C1253 Pump Motor Relay Malfunction and C1256 Accumulator low pressure. I had no warnings on my instrument panel. This morning my instrument panel and clock are blank. Perhaps a fuse. Coincidence?

2010 RX450h

Carista

Hmm, yeah, those ABS codes should not be related to any problems with the dash. So I'd guess it's a coincidence... unless they're both caused by a wiring problem or inconsistent voltage or something like that. If you run "CHECK FAULTS" in Carista now, do you get any different codes?

svidas

Lexus dealer said they are old ABS codes from before warranty brake actuator work they should have cleared. That is why my car didn't have any errors showing.
