Carista — all-in-one Android app for car diagnostics, service and customization
What it does
Carista turns your Android device into a modern scan tool. Pair a reliable BLE OBD adapter (ideally the Carista OBD) to read and clear fault codes across multiple ECUs, monitor live data with logging, run useful service procedures and customize comfort features on supported vehicles.
Highlights
Adapters
Optimized for the Carista OBD Bluetooth adapter; select third-party BLE devices may also work. Quality hardware is critical for reliable sessions.
Compatibility
• Vehicles: many BMW/MINI, VW Group, Toyota/Lexus and other brands (functions vary by ECU and year).
• OS: Android 5.0+ (phone/tablet).
• Storage: ~100–200 MB for app, logs and backups.
• Connectivity: Bluetooth Low Energy.
Quick start
Package in this thread
• Carista_v8.4_PRO.apk — standard Android build.
Tips: keep the vehicle on a stable power source during long sessions; perform service/coding only when safe and supported; adapter quality directly affects speed and stability.
Tested environment
Checked on recent Android 12/13 devices with the Carista OBD adapter; designed to operate on Android 5.0–14.
