Just Ordered A Carista...what Are The Must Do Changes?
It's basically a relatively simple vcds in an app.
I've done quite a few tweaks with it and also coded in my new battery when I upgraded it
Ah, go for the next gen one then if your apple

Had my T6 a month, VW dealer initially assumed that Carplay was already coded into my system, turned out that was wrong so they added it FOC thankfully but due to a few things bothering me (no big MPH on MFD & annoying seatbelt dinging) I've bought myself a Carista OBD2 to sort it out. Are there any other things considered 'must do's' to change whilst I've got the free month sub ?
Quick update on this. I bought a Carista as they are/were on offer. Haven’t done the free one month subscription yet, but with the beta version I changed my lights so main and dipped beam can come on together. Saved me paying someone to do it, very pleased. Now just need to go for a drive in the dark!
Do you still have H4 headlamps ? They may not take it.....
It's OK, he's got THQ lights.
Agreed. I need to delve into vcds more to see if i can find where it is.
Now my carista subscription has lapsed I dont seem to be able to do anything - I can read faults but cannot clear them. Is that normal?
I’ve invested in VCDS but its useful to leave the carista dongle in the van.

I don’t know if the Carista plug can normally be got for this price, but Amazon have them on sale for £12.49 today.
Did I really need it? No!
Did I order it anyway? Oh yes!
A fault appearing on the T6 this weekend which I was able to quickly check whilst 300 miles from home has convinced me that it's worth carrying such a device in each of my vehicles - just in case I need to make a similar assesment whilst away from home again in the future.
I tend to pay for a month when needed, as don't do much with Carista, though am hoping there is no time limit for activating the 'free' month so that I can register it as/when needed.
Thanks for highlighting the offer.

Torque (Lite) - will let you read/clear fault codes, at least it does with my generic ELM device. Have not yet paired it with the Carista jobbie, but cannot imagine it will be any different.
For Carista, there are a few useful things you can do without a subscription if you register for the beta-test programme (e.g. dipped/main illuminate together when converting from H4 to H7 headlamps), but I found the same as you - it is restricted without a subscription.
