Carista Evo and T6.1

[Kev23]

As i don't have VCDS or the skillset to use it even if i did.. Is the new Carista evo worth it for the T6.1?, given it's the Bosch (locked) ECU, does it make a difference to Carista use? i have tried to find what the evo will do on the T6.1 but nothing listed online.

Tell you in a few weeks, just had mine delivered today. Don't plan on messing about too much, but use for faults etc. The 6.1 seems to have a few options already through the head unit.

I'm just hoping it's safe enough. Just watched @Dellmassive video -

Thanks, be interested to find out what's available. Like turning off those dumbass cornering lights!

The carista website tells you what is possible.

What changes are people doing?

Most of them seem a bit pointless but spotted a couple I might try.

Anyone tried the haldex settings?

 

[doncarlyon]

Reverse light brightness?

4Motion Adaptation channel - MAS06098-Acoustic measure wiring logic​

STANDARD / INCREASED TRACTION / REDUCED NOISES​

T6/T6.1 Haldex clutch has an adaptation channel which presumably changes clutch clamping behaviour. The channel can be tweaked with various tools.

Conditions for the measurements​

• Dry tarmac, fairly flat terrain, straight road (no steering input needed)
• The van was crawling with no throttle applied - gear engaged - at stable speed
• The accelerator pedal was floored and kept there untill max speed (road speed limit) - thus...

With Carista and my 6.1 (DNAA engine/t30/22 plate), you can turn off cornering lights.
It is a great little tool to have. Nowadays it is more useful than having a socket wrench. Without it you won't have any idea if or what has gone wrong.
I used the Carista for a month to get the settings I want and will pay for a month whenever needed - but it still does diagnostics for free.

I would have liked to use VCDS but firstly, I am quite tight, and secondly there is much more to screw up on that system.
It is still possible to screw up some things using Carista but make sure you keep a note of what the original settings were as managed to change some things but found it difficult to get them back to original settings as I didn't make a note of what I'd changed.

I really like the cornering lights -when manoeuvring in a dark tight place they have helped avoid curbs/stumps. And potholes and sticky out hedges in dark country lanes.

What spec lights do you have?

So, plugged the Carista EVO in for the first time last night. I haven't changed anything yet, to scared to cock it up TBF.

It's throwing up the error 'B200049 - Control module faulty: Internal electrical malfunction'

Did you hit the reset button? I get a few historic fault codes on mine from disconnecting the SB, they do reset though and the Google feed on the 'fault' is useful to read.

I'll have a try of a few things this weekend if I remember.

Interested to see if LED DRL bulbs can be used if I disable bulb checks.

Got this when I reset it. Google tells me it’s something to do with power steering but all seems good??

All my lights are OEM at the moment!
2016 T32 Highline LWB.
I think the standard headlights are OK too - but only OK! I will be upgrading.

Good old Google, this narrows it down, Not!

Every time I do a scan I get a Telematics fault, in my case the reset clears it, I wouldn't be too worried about it!

Same here. Everything seems to work as it should so im not too worried either

It's defo my SOS module, never worked right. Had an error when I bought it from the converter, they 'fixed' it apparently. Not an essential for me.
