Recommended Carista changes?

[Oceanwagen]

I bought a Carista OBD device for £45 from Amazon, mainly to change the extremely annoying beeping noise when the key is in the ignition and another door opens! What a relief it is to longer hear that!
I also changed the wing mirrors to fold on one click of van key rather than a long press.
Before I end the monthly subscription needed with the device, is there any further straightforward changes I should be making whilst I can?
Thanks

Lots of chat on this thread

Programmable feature with Carista?

Hi all I have bought a Carista dongle and App... What can I personalise on my T5.1 Cali then? What's good etc? I know about doors, windows etc., etc. But what's the clever stuff then? Thanks in advance Matt

Two big ones for me were:

1. reduce accelerator pedal response time
2. disable daytime running lights when light switch set to off

@CC44853 these are neat tweaks I wasn't aware of. I imagine that you're referring to:

• "Daytime running lights on only when switch is set to AUTO" -> set to Yes
• reduce accelerator pedal response time -> what's this setting called in Carista?

I changed the doors to auto lock on moving, the indicator flashes to 5 when flicking the stick (easier for lane changes and lasts a fraction longer).

I've been trying to locate the indicator mod, but can't find it.
Would you be able to tell me the menu description, please? TIA

Sorry, it was one of things I came across by going one by one through the options

I have done likewise, but no luck.

Oh well

Possibly a T5/5.1 option.
Did it on my T5.1 but not an option on my Multivan.

I’ve not done it on my van. But looking at the Carista site, it seems to be the Lights: Exterior -> Lane-change turn signal auto-flasher count option.

Sorry my mistake, I made this change in OBDeleven, not Carista

Thanks all for you replies, much appreciated.

Hello everyone,



I don't know if this is the correct post to write it.



I bought a second hand T6.1 Cali and the auxiliary heater isn't working. It says auxiliary heater: error on the screen. I might be because of battery that needs to be change. But in case it's not the battery, would Carista or a similar app tell me which error is?



Thank you very much for the help!

Afraid not.
The Parking Heater/Fridge will not work if the Leisure Batteries ( there are 2 ) drop the voltage below 11.5 volts on startup.
If you plug into the Mains Hookup and the heater works then you need to check the voltage of the 2 leisure batteries and the 75amp cube fuse on the red pole of the rear leisure battery.
