Carista tweaks

Just spent 20mins setting things up & managed to get all the little perks to work including the door lock unlock with no problems.

Recommend 100%.
Based in Wokingham if anybody needs to change a few things your more than welcome to drop me a message.
I'm in Finch. and if the offer's still open that'd be great :D
 
Evening! Diving into buying the Carista from Amazon at £24
Anyone know how much the current carista subscription is?.. and will this cover the Wife's Polo and my dad's Tiguan and mums Up! All under one sub?? In addition ofcourse to the T6:)

Ps.. there's no commission from VW and other reputable manufacturers are available on request

You will be able to use your carista dongle in all those cars using your app no problem. Its not locked to one car.

I think the subscription is for the app features and will be limited to device the app is on if that makes sense?
 
The subscriptions was 50 pounds for the year when I did it. You can usually get a free trial though if you do all your mods then you wont need to pay it!
 
I don't seem to have all the options available to me on the Carista App as others seem to have. Are there less options on a T6.1? I would like my mirrors folding with just a quick press of the key fob rather than holding down..

I was wondering about that?
 
Not really in my opinion. I did auto door lock when setting off, big digital speedo (don’t use) and 4 flash for the indicators when lane changing (better than the standard 3 flashes I think). Beeps are annoying and needle sweep is pointless. The main reason I got it was general monitoring and to set dipped beam to stay on with main when I fitted H7 headlights. I cancelled after the free trial period and will just pay a month if I need full functionality for some reason.

Having said that, you may have a few more exciting options than me as mine is a poorly Trendline!
 
Have a look at this thread Carista - How I Done It -

My changes were:
  • set the indicators to 5 flashes
  • enable tear-drop wipe
  • auto door lock (method B)
  • blink signals when locking/unlocking. gives me a visual that I've locked it, especially when I check late at night
  • open/close windows with long press - useful when needing to vent the car on a hot day

When doing changes, you need to have the bonnet open for the coding to work for some reason.

Have fun :)
 
I wouldn't consider any changes as "must do" - it's just personal preference - but these are the changes I'm looking to do on my T6.1...
  • Maintain dipped-beam when main beam on
  • Strobe brake lights and flash hazard lights when emergency braking
  • Activate door mirror heaters with heated rear screen
  • Disable DRL when indicating (I loathe vehicles where the lights obscure the indicators - should be an immediate loss of an NCAP star AFAIC)
  • Flash indicators 5 times on flick
  • Set "coming home" lighting for 1 minute when locking
  • Fold door mirrors when locking
  • Close electric tailgate when locking
  • Auto-lock @ 10mph
  • Needle sweep at ignition on
  • Unlock single press=driver's door | double press=all doors
  • Enable tear-drop wipe
  • Open/close all windows with long press (this one courtesy of @Scottish Scrutineer :thumbsup:)
I've no idea how many of the above are applicable to a T6, nor if they can all be achieved via Carista (I might need assistance from a generous VCDS user).
 
I’m wondering if Carista will do the tweaks I’m after? It’s a 68 plate T6 startline I’ve got.

I’m wanting to get :
  • Both beams on full beam on my THQ headlights,
  • Big digital MPH,
  • CCS activated when my MFSW arrives.
I know I’ve got to get a loom to wire in and a wire to fit into the e-box as well as the coding.

And as much as I was bragging that I had no codes after all the light upgrades I’ve done, the bulb out light has come on. I’m confident it’s the aftermarket headlight control knob I fitted for the fog lights I didn’t have.
So want that coded out.

And finally the stop start is doing my nut in. I would like to get rid of that. But that would be a bonus.

Cheers
