Cartista Tacoma A/C and Warning Signal Reformat--Gen 3

I bought a Carista from Amazon ($39.99) to see if I could reprogram some of the features of the trucks A/C and lighting. I also wanted to stop some of the nuisance warnings. It worked great.

Below are the items that you can change on your Gen 3.using the Carista OBD II fob with my Galaxy pad. I also plugged it into my 2008 4-Runner. Not as extensive but still a good list there. You also can run engine faults and monitor some outputs from the engine. I purchased the 1 ye version fro $29. I was thinking about reprogramming other cars.
