Morning all
If anyone is after a Carista plug, I just got an alert from camelcamelcamel (which tracks prices on Amazon) that the Carista OBDII plug has gone down in price to just £18.75
Bit of a bargain if you want to do some tweaks as you get 1 Month free without subs.
Can also be used as just an OBDII Diagnostic tool without any further cost https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00YVHGTBM?tag=camelalerts-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&language=en_GB
Just order mine as its comparable with the tiguan mk2 and it does a DPF Re gen with my obdeleven does not.
So i will have both just in case.
Thanks for the tip off.
Clearly this is cheaper than OBDEleven upfront, but over time it'll just cost the same...unless you can turn the sub on and off depending on when you need mods done?

If anyone is interested I pulled out the info from the Carista site which seems to be up-to-date in terms of what can be customised using the App/Plug for the Mk2 Tig
Thanks for the note on this - Bought one at the higher price a few days ago (which was received yesterday ... sending it back) and will buy another @ this cheaper price.
Can't wait to start playing with it over the holiday period
I now have both and £10 for a month its not too bad as you can just do the things that you want to do and forget it for the other 11months.
I also have OBDeleven , i had a vw golf before this for the last 3 years and i bought the obdeleven then.
Im one of these guys that looks after his money and i have been getting the free 5 a day tokens for the last few years and so far i have 3800 tokens
so far.
Yes im a bit sad.

This is how its described on the Carista website...
" Throttle response behavior
Gradual, controlled by time / Direct, controlled by threshold"
I've done this on mine (Direct) and it literally transforms the response. I know others have done it with similar results. I don't remember seeing any warning though, and there's no warning on the website.

Yeah there was a warning when I did mine the other day but I can't remember what it said exactly. Something along the lines that this may not be legal in all countries or something. I just ticked the box!
When I had my Tiguan I,
Disabled Stop/Start.
Disabled the annoying beeping when you opened the tailgate.
Enabled "Scandinavian DRL's".
Increased the comfort indicator flashing to 4 flashes.
Enabled needle sweep on ignition.
Enabled fan speed indication when the climate control was set to "Auto
I believe that none of these devices like Carista, OBDEleven, VCDS and so on presently work with facelift Tiguan - VW Group have started implementing what they call SFD - German for Vehicle Diagnostic Protection which is basically online authorisation for various coding changes and will require independent workshops/devices to be licensed by VW - whether this will be on a similar basis to ErWin access where you can buy time limited access directly to VW workshop information, who knows.
OBDEleven certainly doesn't allow changes on mine and from what I read, it will be at least well into 2021 before they have a solution agreed with VW Group as an "official licensee" - I'd imagine Carista will be the same
