Carista EVO - Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner - Car Diagnostic Tool & Code Reader with Access to Diagnostics, Customizations, Service Tools & Live Data (Subscription Required)

Very good little device, lots of customisations and reads basic faults etc. App is very simple and easy to use, Amazon's checker said that it wouldn't fit, however when looking it up online it said it would fit. It's best to check online if amazon says it doesn't fit.

This is a great little device, although you have to sign up and pay a fee for the full data its worth it rather than paying a garage for the same amount. This is far better than a basic obd reader and worth the extra money This reader gave me live diagnostics and which gave me exactly what I needed, to find and rectify the fault in my car.

Firstly this arrives in a nicely constructed case. Removing the device from the packaging and it is immediately obvious that the device is well constructed. It feels like a premium device. This does the job nicely and I have tested on a number of vehicles including Ford, Renault and BMW. Its worked on every occasion showing up the faults. On the vehicles I have tested on you can easily plug the device in, replace the interior trim and leave it there. It's small footprints makes it ideal to just leave in place. One minor draw back to this is sometimes its a little difficult to get it back out again. I have only tested the device on iOS. The device is bluetooth and works with the Carista App and OBD Fusion as advertised. Apples restrictions on bluetooth means that these are the only two apps I am aware of that it works on. The adapter is really simple to use, simply plug it into the OBD2 socket of your vehicle, launch your preferred app and press connect. Hey presto you are connected to the car. There is no requirement to pair the device to your iPhone. (as I spent about 30mins trying to do) it just simply connects. I have successfully been able to read the fault code on my partners car and quickly identified the faulty part. I'm now just waiting for a new part before I fully reset the code. I would rate this five stars if only it was compatible with more iOS apps. That is slightly unfair as that's not entirely the manufactures fault. My advice before buying this device would be to research the App that would be most suitable for your car. Many cars have advanced diagnostics and you ideally need to find the best App first then decide on your OBD2 device. If your car is compatible with Carista or OBD fusion then I would throughly recommend this product. Having used both apps I would recommend the OBD fusion App. It is well designed and easy to use. Not only allowing the user to read and reset fault codes you can get live time information from a range of the sensors as the engine is running. The OBD app also allows you to buy advanced diagnostics for certain makes and models of vehicles. I have not been able to test that yet as sadly my vehicle is too new to be supported.

I’ve used this Carista OBD2 scanner many times, especially before taking the car for its MOT, and it’s been really helpful for checking fault codes and monitoring the car beforehand. Setup is simple through Bluetooth and the app connects quickly without complicated installation. The scanner itself is compact and easy to keep in the glovebox when needed. One of the best features is being able to view live data and run basic diagnosis checks directly from a phone. It helped us identify smaller issues early and reset certain warning lights before booking repairs. The app is easy to navigate even without advanced mechanical knowledge, and compatibility with our vehicle has been very good so far. For the price, I think it offers strong value for money considering how much information and functionality it provides. The only small downside is that some advanced features require a subscription within the app, so that’s worth knowing in advance. Overall, a practical, easy to use and reliable diagnostic tool for everyday drivers and MOT preparation.

I bought this to diagnose an error showing on my car (VW Polo 2016). I previously tried using a cheap (£10) diagnostic reader which only showed me 1 error code. When I plugged in the Carista, it instantly showed me 3 errors and I was able to replace the faulty sensor and then clear the errors using the Carista. I have also used it to change quite a few other settings on my car. I have used it to enable an engineering menu which then allowed me to activate CarPlay (was previously locked behind dealer code). I have also used it to enable the reversing camera function on my head unit and I have installed a reversing camera which now shows on my screen. I have also changed quite a few other settings like auto locking / unlocking doors and disabling some warning dings etc. Great bit of kit! I was a bit hesitant about the subscription price, but given how much it's allowed me to do I'm very happy with it!

I’ve been really impressed with the Carista EVO Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner from Carista — it was incredibly easy to set up, paired with my phone in minutes, and the app made everything simple to understand even for a non-expert. I’ve used it to check my car’s overall status, read and clear fault codes, and keep an eye on potential issues before they turn into bigger problems, which gives real peace of mind. I also liked how straightforward it was to change certain vehicle settings and customisations right from the app, something I couldn’t do with basic scanners before. The Bluetooth connection has been stable and reliable, and the whole experience feels polished and user-friendly rather than technical or confusing. It’s a great tool for everyday drivers who want more insight into their car without going to a garage for every little warning light — highly recommended, just make sure you check that your specific car model is supported so you can use all the features.

Personally I think this overpriced paperweight deserves 0 stars, but we must have some moral respect for products on here. I purchased the original adapter back in June 2024. Only for them to lock all the features behind a paywall OR if you purchase the EVO variant. Was prepared to spend the few extra pennies on the Evo model in October 2024. Worked great when I got it, all diagnostics were free and easy to understand, and clear. I used it throughout 2025, even paying for a month so I could customise my car a little bit (albeit the features are no where near as detailed as OBDEleven) I’ve just gone to use the product today and… low and behold, NOTHING is free anymore for my vehicle. Everything is now behind a paywall for a mere £60 per year, on top of the £50 product. This is absurd and makes this product completely useless without a subscription. You aren’t using anything of theirs for them to charge, so I’m unsure why it’s all subscription based. Contacted Carista customer service and they defend their company by saying “advanced features require subscription” despite their website saying otherwise. Amazon have allowed me to return the product for a full refund. STAY WAY CLEAR OF THIS PRODUCT

The app is easy to use and the quality of the product is good. Fault clearing and error code reading is also good. The unlocking of additional functions on your vehicles not so great. Seems as though the system is not up to date with later vehicles. I only purchased to turn off annoying alerts on a 2024 Range Rover and a 2026 VW Amarok. It doesn’t work on either. Only upgrades are for day running lights. Disappointed when compared to the marketing.

Tried OBD Eleven before and it failed completely, despite promises for Toyota and Lexus group couldn't do anything but to see correct model and basic car info. Bravo Carista, well done! Works well for 2023 Lexus RZ450e. Lots of options can be customized and upgraded. 2024 Renault Austral not recognized yet, but hopefully it will be upgraded in near future. Good job lads, GOOD JOB!

Wszystko super, szkoda że aby mieć dostęp do wszystkich funkcji trzeba subskrybować aplikację, ale i tak fajne rozwiązanie. 1 miesiąc jest okresu próbnego, wiec można sobie włączyć w aucie wszystkie potrzebne funkcje a później w razie potrzeby wykupić dostęp do appki zależnie od potrzeby. Jedną z rzeczy które ja odblokowałem w swoim aucie to np. doświetlanie zakrętów. Ogólnie polecam !

La verdad es un buen equipo yo considero en una gama media eso si tienes que pagar una anualidad para tener acceso a todos los sistemas.

Fácil de usar. Realmente lo compré para personalizar el tablero de instrumentos para un Jetta MK6 2018 y una Tiguan Sport&Style 2013, en ambos funcionó. Aparte probé el scanner en una Frontier SV 2012 y me arrojó varios testigos y códigos por reparar, muy bien. Puedes usar la prueba gratis del mes y cancelar la renovación dos días antes, así le hice yo en un iPhone; lo que realmenre está caro es la suscripción.

センサーのエラーコードを見たり、消したりするくらいには十分 車種によって出来ることには、差があると思うが、コーティングも一応出来る。 悪くはないかな
