Great, thanks.

Dont think the auto up windows will work though as the Drivers side window is the only one that is Auto.

I would love to be proved wrong though :)

I've tried different combinations of the settings but nothing I do seems to make the auto up windows work :(

Other than that, it all looks pretty good! If they added dial staging that'd be pretty much everything covered haha although that's totally for looks and not necessary.

Quite impressed that the coming home lights work, although the leaving home ones won't as there's no light sensor.

I haven't actually tried it in the dark yet though...

That s why you can get big MPH - we can't.:( without VCDS

I want it! :p

I've been chatting with the guys that do Carista, hoping that they can add some more features. Apparently they're working on dial staging and should be implementing that soon, but I don't know about the region etc. They have that enabled for the Polo I think so fingers crossed.

Are any of the other android OBD tools any good? I saw at least a dozen when I searched Google Play last night.

Bluetooth adaptors ar only $10-15 over here. I think I'll get one and try it out when I get back to the UK in the summer.

Only other one I like really is Torque Pro. To be honest it's not all that pretty looking and is a little fiddly to set up but very good when you've got it how you want it. The fault reading etc is great as well, and can clear codes etc.

This Carista app is the only one I've seen that lets you customise the features on the Seats etc though properly.

Chris, what really would be a cool feature would be to be able to turn off the Bluetooth Pairing Bell !! :)
