    Besides the price, is there a difference in the Carista OBD & EVO?

    EVO says Expanded One-Click customizations... Does that mean the EVO has more options? Or does that mean it supports more manufacturers?

    Is there a reason to get another brand that works with the Carista App?

    I have the EVO and I believe it says it connects faster. All I can say is if the other one is slower, God forbid

    It's a pretty straight forward process from there?

    Thanks. In terms of slower, how much slower are we talking? Like a few minutes, or like 30+?

    I have both, the EVO is faster, has more options, and more diagnostic ability. If you are just wanting general changes, the OBD is fine.

    It’s very easy. There a lot you can change. I didn’t notice a difference in connection time which was about 3-4 mins. It’s all marketing.

    When you say more options, do you mean more I can change, like different chimes to turn off/on, or more in terms of Service and Live Data?

    I've got both. I'll try and do a video on how long it takes to connect each.

    Hey thanks - I was able top snag the EVO for like $10 more than the OBD about a month ago. I should have updated here. The EVO connected pretty quick - maybe 1.5 minutes? Pretty sure it was less than that
