Ok bit if a school boy error, ordered the Carista OBD adaptor on the 1st Jan and forgot about it, turned up today! I I subsequently order a new B9 on Saturday!
I'm guessing I can't do much on the B9 with Carista!?

From the supported vehicles list on Carista site
- A4/S4/RS4 (B8) 2009-2015 advanced diagnostics, customizations, service indicator reset, EPB, launch control count
- A4/S4/RS4 (B9) 2016+ advanced diagnostics
Just a quick 2 questions.
1st one is that I have the passenger side mirror to lower towards kerb when reversing can this be done on both mirrors? Can't see option for both.
2nd is the diagnostics check shows a few errors like fuel cap lock, Driver door lock and a couple of others. I recently changed the whole lock on the drivers door and the fuel cap lock works fine as far as I can tell. Is it a matter of just resetting these or will I get them checked out? As I said everything seems to be working as it should atm.
Thanks for your help.

Ok finally got some time to play, plugged it in and boom...fault detected!? CAN network gateway - had to active my months free trial to see the details, 00466 control module for steering column electrics (J527)
Just doing a full ecu scan now and googling the error, anyone else get this or know what the problem could be?
Haven't changed owt yet as just wanted a dry run to familiarise myself with the options

Thanks, stupid question, but how do I clear them? (Sorry not used it before)
Also just noticed on the full scan report that lots of elements are listed as 'failed to connect' could this be due to the fact I turned off the heating, light, mmi?
Assume I should leave it all on....oh and the engines needs to be running right?

What he said, then if still there, stick the code into a Google search.
He is very clever Mr google
No, leave the engine off, just ignition lights on dash on, then scan.
As for failed to connect readings, that's OK, it just means your car has not got these components fitted,. If that makes sense. Nothing to be concerned about really unless a fault
I like grabbing and printing off a copy of any logged faults before trying to clear them, as evidence! I think that some "low level" faults (in VW group's world) do get cleared by themselves - had that on wife's new Polo! I've just discovered that I'm up to V3.4 - discovered that while resetting late 2009 Ibiza service warning that VCDS just did not seem to do after I serviced that car last month!
Hum, I'll leave that for someone else to answer as I'm still not trusting Carista enough, so always run a scan using VCDS on the cars after running a scan using Carista - so always use VCDS to clear any logged faults, really doing this mainly on an August 2015 VW Polo as sometimes while Carista does correctly find the fault codes, the correct description has not yet been written into Carista, things will improve with time I'd expect.
Bought the official adapter. Installed the app. Bluetooth is on, car ignition is on. I can see a red light on the adapter but the app can't find it. I tried both my phone (Moto G3) and my Nexus 7 tablet. No luck. Am I doing something dense anyone can see? Both phone and tablet are Android.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's not even visible to either device (phone or tablet) which is what makes me suspicious it isn't working. Also from the Carista help...
Just removed the rear lights as DRL's as the clocks have moved
& added the memory function to the stop/start switch with the Carista app to my S4

I enabled my A4 B8.5 to access ambient light control with my 3g unit. so i'd presume you should be able to.
I know this has been asked many times before, so I do apologise. Can you recommend an adaptor that I can use on my Audi B8 2011 for using Carista on a iPad Air2? Bought a few in the past but none of them seemed to work.

Well there's any number of different ones mentioned in previous posts on this thread, but if you're having trouble finding one that definitely works for you, why not play safe and get Carista's own dongle?
