I need to be able to clear engine codes efficiently and without distraction frequently. Having to press the big green button wait a minute then diagnosis then go to the codes screen then scroll all the way down to clear the codes is a distraction for me. I wish you would have a feature in which it would be a one tap code clear from app launch.

The app works. It lists a ton of modifications when you look up models before hand, but that can be limited by your application. This did allow me to make modifications I needed. You will have to cancel subscription in Google as they do not allow a 1 month purchase option. Overall it did what I needed for cheaper than the dealer cost.

I am amazed and the options Carista allows you to change on newer cars! Dealers can charge over $100 to turn off your Seatbelt Ding. Carista allows you to do that, change the volume of the Turn Signal click, roll down all windows with a two button push on the remote, and so much more. Love this app!
