Afternoon all,
Disclaimer:
I don't take any responsibility for what you may end up doing to your cars whilst using Carista or following any instructions from my post. Do so at your own risk!
As a few of you know, I own a 2016 Ibiza FR 1.0 TSI DSG. I've been pondering for a while about getting Carista and have had the Beta version from the developers for a couple of weeks now but not dared make any changes with it!
So today, I had an hour out in the car playing with it. Some things work, some things don't. Some settings were a bit intermittent but changed eventually. So, here's what I've done:
Lap timer in MFD:
Not tried this out yet, but I presume you can time your 0-60
I guess this is standard on the Cupra?
Amount to refuel in MFD:
I had lost two bars of fuel and it was showing that 10 Litres is needed to fill back up to the top. Maybe a bit pointless but I like it!
Needle sweep:
I had this enabled on my previous FR but did it with VCDS. So I was glad to see that it can be enabled here.
Other things enabled:
Things I tried to activate but wouldn't work:
I'm also waiting to hear back from the developers about getting a setting in there for disabling those stupid cornering fog lights. They annoy me so much!
One thing to note, when I did the in-app purchase for £4.99 for a week's worth of customising, the app told me that Beta testers won't be charged this fee. I can't tell at the moment but I'll keep an eye on my Apple account to see if I've been charged at all.
Hopefully that helps some of you wondering whether to take the plunge or not...
Any questions, let me know

Other things enabled:
- Tear wipe after washing rear windscreen
- Rain closing. Windows will close (if open) when rain sensor is activated. Also now selectable in the 'Car' menu on the radio
- Parking light activates with DRL. Rear LED lights are now 'always on' when ignition is on
Things I tried to activate but wouldn't work:
- Battery voltage level display in MFD
- Auto fold mirrors via 'Single click'
I'm also waiting to hear back from the developers about getting a setting in there for disabling those stupid cornering fog lights. They annoy me so much!
