It's only worth it if you use it. I bought it out of curiosity and now I actually use it like a tool for two cars.
Thanks.. sounds like good advice.. I have already Stage 2 re-map on the car.. along with all the mods that go with it. Exhaust / de-cat / filter....etc...etc.. so to make a log of the current setting. can this be done as soon as I get the OBD eleven plugged in and before I make any changes..?VCDS>OBDeleven>Carista how much $ do you want to spend?
OP I think you made a good choice. Hint before you make ANT changes do a log of the OEM setup.

I believe so. I'd have to fire it up and look, but I am fairly certain the process to log the settings is pretty straight forward. I don't recall having any issues, but it's been a minute since I got mine.Thanks.. sounds like good advice.. I have already Stage 2 re-map on the car.. along with all the mods that go with it.

Yeah, I activated some engine responsiveness tweak on my 19 Alltrack that disabled cruise control and all my driver assistance tech. It was an app though, so it was easy to revert. A lot of the other apps straight up didn’t work.Mud's advice is vital. You WILL screw something up and will need to revert back to where you were.
Also, only make one change at a time (at least until you get real comfy with OBDII) so that you don't go chasing your tail when something doesn't work.
I didn't buy a Carista and the OP's question was for comments about OBDEleven and that's what he ended up purchasing anyway.You can do the same thing with Carista and it's less expensive and easier and no long coding or credits.
