Has anyone tried this before?

http://www.caristaapp.com/

Its a little WIFI based OBD port plug-in that allows the app on your phone to communicate with your ECU's to read/clear codes and also change settings/features on the car.



The app is free for diagnostics but you have to pay (once) for each feature you want to enable.

The dongle is £31.99 on Amazon so I've taken a punt on it!

Going to be the same as every other Bluetooth ODB tool isn't it? With the exception of doing Wifi.

Its more the features/reliability of the app I'm curious about.. It sounds a bit too good to be true, they say it does engine, gearbox, srs, abs etc.

Same as any of the cheapo ones you get on ebay except wrapped in wannabe apple packaging which is what you are paying for

Looking at some of the reviews it is just a glorified code reader and doesn't even tell you what the codes mean you still have to look them up
