Hi
Looking into getting an obd reader and was wondering what peoples experience has been
Carly looks good but seems a bit expensive plus yearly subs.
Carista same but a bit cheaper to buy buy still yearly subs
Top don as recommended by YouTuber chops garage seems good but a lot more money but no subs, seems you can’t change stuff on car like running lights and beeps on arming etc
Any opinions or alternate suggestions

I got my Carista OBD reader yesterday, there was a deal on Amazon and it came down to £15. I’ve also got 1 month free access, then £49 a year thereafter.
Seems good so far, plenty of scope for changing things if you want to.
Word of warning though, I made a rookie mistake… after about 45 minutes of messing about with it, I drained my battery :embarrassed:
Turns out the battery wasn’t holding charge and was 11 years old, new battery now fitted and all is well in the world again.

I've always used VCDS - Thankfully I bought the unlimited VIN version when they were pretty cheap still.
