Car Scanner App

[Skyliner123]

Hi all,

I have a Carista as I have a 2017 T6 - seems compulsory with the amount of issues mine seems to get (Egr being the latest!). I usually pay for a month as and when but with their new price being £14.99 for a month thought I would try Car Scanner instead. I get it connected ok and can run diagnostics for engine codes and presumably clear them (not tried the clear yet) but I cannot see any coding options or DPF information which I thought it included? I even paid the £7.99 for lifetime pro membership but cannot actually see that it has changed anything?

Is anyone able to confirm if these things should be there for a t6 as I know you can select different connection profiles?

Cheers

For DPF info get the DPFmonitorforvag app, it works with the Carista dongle and is excellent for monitoring your DPF

Ok so I messed again with the connection profiles and set it to MQB, PQ26: Diesel DPF car.1 (EA288) and can now see an additional menus item for coding once connected! Only issue is that when looking at dashboards (useful as you can see them in carplay too but only as text on mine) I have set a screen for all the DPF parameters but when operating they are all just blank?

Not sure if the profile is still the right one as my engine comes up as 'CXGB' and I cannot see an option for that one anywhere in the list?
