Diagnose engine codes, ABS issues, airbag faults, and more, directly from your smartphone. Once the problem is addressed, you can easily reset the warning lights, saving time and preventing potential escalation of minor issues into major repairs.

Perform DIY Service and Maintenance Procedures
Avoid unnecessary workshop visits for routine maintenance tasks. Carista equips you with the ability to perform simple service procedures yourself.

Hardware Options: Unleashing the Full Power of Carista
