Carista reviews
I did a quick search and didn't find anything, so I figured I'd ask here. New LC500 owner, thinking about ordering this OBD2 dongle and just using the initial free trial period to make some settings adjustments, mainly to disable the annoying beeps while in reverse. I just read however that the LC has a remote start function that's usually disabled by default.
I don't know how true this is, it may just be some kind of AI slop that google delivered, but I was wondering if anyone here has the Carista device and the service. If so, did you see (has anyone seen) this feature enabled? Google says the dealer can activate this, along with disabling the chime for back seat belts. NO ONE is fitting in my back seats LOL, highly unlikely that I'd need that feature.
With that said, the only other thing I've seen other LC500 owners tweak was turn signal settings for bumping the stalk to change lanes. (from the standard 3 blinks to either 5 or 7)
Can you chime in with what you used the OBD2 device and app to change, and does anyone on here have remote start enabled??
If you want to check and see if you already have it, this is what Google said you need to do:
Key fob remote start method
If your LC500 has remote start enabled, you can use the key fob as follows WheelsJoint.com**+1**:
- Press and release the LOCK button twice within two seconds.
- Press and hold the LOCK button for three seconds.
- The turn signals flash, the engine starts, and runs for about 10 minutes before shutting off automatically.
- If you open a door during remote start, the engine will shut off for safety.
- To stop remotely:
- Press UNLOCK (doors unlock, re‑lock after a short delay)
- Or hold LOCK for 2+ seconds (doors remain locked).
