Anyone ever use Carista to make customizations on their GX? I know a lot of these seem to be available in the infotainment unit but some are not.

==================

Personalization of comfort & convenience features of the car. This allows you to customize your car to your liking and get rid of all those annoyances you have to deal with every time you get into your car. You can even enable hidden features that you didn't even know your car had! See Pricing below.

Each particular car's supported settings can be different, but here's a sample list of settings from a user with a similar vehicle:

I used it to disable the the seat belt warning (not available in the infotainment). My father occasionally rides with me and he never wears one. I don't wear it if I am just driving in my neighborhood.

Good to know

Were you just using a run-of-the-mill OBD-2 BT or Wifi connector? I've got a drawer of them.

I had a splitter with a GPS tracker (personal use NOT insurance) and a WiFi. Problem is my phone would connect to it when I didn't want it to so I pulled it out. I don't use BT on my phone so that would have been a better choice for me to turn it on and off.
