Actually, it's even better than it seems - the Finnish VAT seems to be included in the "delivery" costs11.58£ delivery to Finland but still a great deal.
Exactly -There can’t ever be too many OBD toys!
I think for <150€ items into EU sellers must include VAT and hence no customs. That’s why those small purchases from eg. AliExpress come through just fineActually, it's even better than it seems - the Finnish VAT seems to be included in the "delivery" costs![]()
It should - factory setting is to fall asleep after 20 minutes idle.and doesn't seem to power save.

Owning 4 OBD dongles isn't excessive, right?
That's a product of vGate company?the BT version of my iCar
vGate vLinker series has models which initiate pairing only by pressing device's Connect button. So a passer-by can not connect - without access to the button.The unrestricted always live BT is the deal breaker for me.

Yes I'd seen that, but I'm 95% happy with my existing iCar WiFi (yes it's a vGate product @mmi ) for the basic DPF monitoring the aim was just to remove the annoyance of the WiFi. I went for the Carista Evo due to the price, VAG-DPF developers recommend it (or at least the older version) and I tend to suggest getting one to several folks so it would be useful to know how the Carista app works.VW has ignition live on OBD port pin 1 (non-standard feature) so you could always make the dongle to power on ignition rather than relying on sleep modes. I did this for my old Carista in rather violent way but you could also make an OBD adapter cable to sit in between the port and dongle.
