Carista - available options
« on: 08 January 2020, 21:40 »
For those who are interested, I have noted down each available customisation option on the Mk 7.5 GTI.  I've only listed the top level menus and not all of the options/sub-menus as there are quite a lot, but you get the general idea.  Bare in mind, some of these options are already enabled by default for the GTI.  The app can configure lesser model Golfs which may not have these options on the dash display.

Seems like a bargain, as you said in your other post. Is it easy to use and does it seem reliable, given that a major screwup of the car's system would be very easy.

Yes, you just plug it into the ODB port located under the dash above the pedals. Then you open the Carista app on your phone which automatically pairs with the dongle via Bluetooth. As soon as it’s connected you’re given a simple menu to select your options & simply click save to apply. If something doesn’t work as expected, simply change it back again.

Here’s a short clip showing one option being set:

They have indeed!  Re Carly - I’m not familiar with that so can’t compare the two I’m afraid.

You need to enable the option to display on the car menu - that’s a Carista mod found in the same section.

I’m struggling to find out what ‘ Dynamic start assist’ is ? Is it worth playing with ?
