Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Carista BT compatibility

    I bought the Carista BT dongle for $49. It worked well enough to clear codes. But I am now faced with the choice of paying $79 a year. I have one month trial. I paid $14.99 for the OBD Fusion app. It seems to work checking codes, but there's no customisation. My question is: I'm pretty handy with computers - what's the minimum hardware (OBDII dongle) that will work with VCDS? The cheap USB ones on eBay - do they work? Does VCDS support Bluetooth at all? Are any of the Carista compatible apps worth buying? Seems that right now, if I customise my Golf with Carista, I'll need to pay to reset anything. So asking really what's the cheapest way into the customisations and more detailed alerts. Thanks for your time - it's much appreciated.

      Thanks for those replies. Much appreciated. Have to see how the budget goes. I might pay the Carista since I've got it. They said they want a video of the mirror dip on my car and would give me credits. I wonder how many . . . .
