Anybody tried CARISTA scanner App?

I've tried Carista, but I gave up on it. It's only compatible with certain vehicle models. Besides, it's a paid app and may be more expensive than other similar apps. Even though the app is updated regularly, it may not include the latest features of other scan tool apps. I'm glad I didn't hesitate too much and switched to https://smartengines.com/. Now, I'm pleased by the scanning service and it became my favorite. So I suggest you to be open to other choices than Carista. This app isn't worth it, and there are several better options on the market.

 

I bought a Foxwell NT530. Came pre-loaded with Toyota software. No subscription and free online updated.

does this do all of the truck-specific programming that can be done from the head unit?

 

Here is what I see when I go into the menus.

 

Tech stream which is free and your laptop if you have one and a dongle with data cable does the same and even more

 

I looked at Tech Stream before buying Foxwell. I wanted something compact I can easily move between my three Toyota vehicles. Call me lazy.
