Hi everyone,

Did you know about our app, Carista OBD2? It can do VAG-specific diagnostics and coding/adaptations from the comfort of your smartphone. No cables, no weird interfaces to deal with, no huge expenses. Carista is an app for iOS and Android and it connects to the car through a standard wireless OBD dongle (see: Hardware | Carista OBD2 - Vehicle Diagnostics and Customization )

It's free to run the app and see what customization settings are available for your particular vehicle. If you want to be able to CHANGE customization values or run advanced VAG-specific diagnostics, you need the "Pro Package", which currently costs $19.99 USD and is a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks unlimited customizations and diagnostics on an unlimited number of cars.



We're constantly adding new customizable settings for the Audi A4 B8 and the available ones differ based on the exact year, model, options, market, etc.; that said, here's a sample list of things that Carista can configure for a specific 2013 Audi A4 (UK model):
