Carista Carista EVO Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner — Wireless Diagnostic Tool with Live Data & Customizations (VAG Licensed)

The Carista EVO is a Bluetooth OBD2 scanner that pairs with the Carista App to read codes, access live data, run service routines and enable vehicle customizations when you activate a subscription.

Compact and wireless, the Carista EVO plugs into any compatible vehicle’s OBD2 port and links to your smartphone (iOS or Android) to display fault codes, real-time sensor values and supported personalization options. Basic OBD2 functions are available on purchase, while advanced diagnostics, service procedures and the full suite of customization tools require a paid Carista App subscription (monthly or annual plans). The unit is officially licensed for Volkswagen Group vehicles and supports a broad range of other makes for versatile home or shop use.
