Carista tweaks

It says they need professional install on that eBay link - do they or can a numpty like myself have a go?

It really comes down to what model and what dash.

Basically you take the button out and connect the connector to this little cable and then back to the factory loom. Getting the button out is going to be the hardest bit, I have a T6 comfort dash and didn't struggle but I'm also pretty confident with DIY tinkering.
 
I had a Ghost Immobiliser fitted to my Golf R a few weeks ago and happened to mention to the installer that I would like to disable the stop/start.
"I can do that with the Ghost" he said.
It works the same as the cable I believe, in that it remembers the last setting (OFF obviously)
Just thought I'd mention this in case anyone is having a Ghost fitted and also hates the stop/start, saves having to buy a separate eBay cable.

How much was the ghost pls?
 
Got a lead from Ebay and literally took 2 minutes (Just make sure the lead going into the van doesn't try and disappear into the depths of the dash. Mine tried, but caught it in time) - and I hate doing this sort of thing to an expensive van. Works nicely. Stop/Start now is automatically disabled but I can turn it on if need be.
One less thing to do.
There is a 6pin version and 10pin. The 10pin is if you have rear parking cam etc.
 
Hi, I have fitted THQ headlights to replace the OEM H4 halogens on my T6 and I purchased a Carista Evo so I could adjust the ECU so dip beam stays on with high beam. The Carista works fine and I had fun changing various settings, but I can't see how to adjust this feature. I have looked under the Exterior Lights menu but can't find what I'm looking for. Any advice? Many thanks

On the original Carista you have to do it through the beta version, not sure if the Evo has that option. Have a look on the Carista website for info about the beta version.

Thanks! That worked. I had seen references to beta versions and had searched the app for it without success. I signed up on the website and the beta app was pushed to my phone via the Google Play store a few minutes later. It couldn't have been easier. It included the headlight option I was looking for plus loads of others around driver assist etc. etc., which I'm not going to play with.
