[mmi]

Great post. I would love to learn how to get more from my vcds. Are there any websites, as well as the ross tech forum i could use to help? Thanks.

There are a couple.

A kind of start in our Forum including a few links:

Hi all I’m looking to do the MFSW mod soon, and need to do some coding. I’m looking to hire the group cable to do this. I know what to code, or have it written down. My issue is navigating the software and not arsing it up. Basics like taking a scan and storing it, then being able to revert it...

Hi
Do you need the pro version on Carista after the month free trial?
What happens if you don’t take up the payment option.
Thanks

Hi I have a carista for my van but thinking of getting vcds system . Does anyone know if I will be able to run this on my Audi A3 E tron as well as my VW t6?
Cheers Daniel

For anyone interested, OBD11 now has the function to switch off start/stop. Given the amount of evidence pointing at turbo failures due and a suspected relationship with them no longer being liquid cooled, I tried this out last week and it works perfectly. No more start/stop and the dash now briefly displays that it is not active.

Is there much difference between the standard Carista and the Evo?
Anyone know if the Carista can switch off start stop yet?

Just changed to H7 lights. Anyone know if carista can enable the dip staying on while.main beam is on? I know vcds can do that but I don't want to buy a laptop for that and tbh I want a more.plug and play app based option if possible for my wife in the future (I don't have long left after a terminal diagnosis so want to get the T6 sorted as possible while I still can). I can't see it in their list.

Do you have any more info regarding this then we can work it out in VCDS?

"Given the amount of evidence pointing at turbo failures" - got any sources for this? I've seen loads of complaints about battery and starter failure with no stats backing then up...
