Ottocast cube for me too. Works so much better than the one we had from them in my wife’s car. It’s literally about an eighth of the size too.

DPF Regen app is on iPhone too btw. Works perfectly via the Ottocast too.

This one?

I’m guessing you need a carista as well as an ottocast

Carista Evo is certainly worth having, for the DPF app and so much more!

@Sim667 I bought this to use with VAG DPF (on Android).

Pardon our interruption...

 

[Sim667]

Picked it up today

Haven’t got the carista yet because it’s been an expensive day with an S5 tracker being fitted and buying a disklok (and the van).

For some reason I’ve been struggling to change the privacy settings to set the VW app up and link it, anyone else had this problem before?

Does anyone know if VAG DPF works with carista evo even if you don’t have a carista subscription?

Rumour has it it does work! Worth the £7 for the full fat version of vag dpf.

I use VAGDFP occasionally on my Carista. No subscription.

Ah idea, I was planning on using it for VAG DPF but only wanted a months sub to do some customisations

After a month they may well send you an offer for membership which you can't refuse. I'm signed up until mid 2027 after a £29.99 special after canceling my membership a while ago.

The carista app works fine

Have you got one of those Apples?

 

[Sim667]

You mean the master race, I do yeah.

Sadly, vag dpf is an Android thing. There are Apple equivalents though!

Great on IPhone
Two fixes if you haven’t sorted it …. Contact the app developer he does respond
Or try it on setting 7 not 1
Used it last night and ended up at home for ten minutes running while regen finished … great to know when it’s due for a regen while planning your journey

 

[Sim667]

Got it working, not really sure what I’m looking at so I’ll go and do some reading.

Do you all leave a carista Dongle in all the time?

 

[Linoleum Bonypart]

Yes you leave it in

 

[Drive Wayne]

You would have to say your oil ash residue looks a little high! Here's mine just before I hit the road after doggo walko.
I leave my Evo plugged in, there is a small draw but nothing massive, the solar negates any worries.

Just a touch.
