The Carista app is one of the most popular OBD2 apps because it combines several useful features in one place. With a compatible adapter, you can read and clear fault codes, view live data, perform service resets, and even unlock hidden vehicle features.

The downside is that most of these functions are normally locked behind a paid subscription.

However, there is a way to use Carista with all of its features without paying for a subscription. In the video below, I show the exact method step-by-step and demonstrate how to access the full functionality of the app.

The tutorial includes:

  • reading and clearing fault codes
  • accessing live diagnostic data
  • using service reset functions
  • enabling hidden vehicle features and customizations

Watch the video below to see how the process works in practice.
