22’ RX350 and 25’ Camry programmed no issue
Worked on my 2022 RX Lexus and my husbands 2025 Toyota Camry. Different options each car but each had the ability to disable seat belt chimes and many more options. 7 blinks vs 3 for lane changes, volume of blinkers, what sensitivities for auto headlights and parking assistance volumes, sensitivities. Key fob hold vs single, double press. Lots more. Anyway, cost of unit here plus a month of service, $16.25 after tax and set up our cars. Cancelled service so I don’t get a surprise in a month. If I offer around to friends and family can maybe even knock the entry price down further. Definitely keeping the device. Kind of factored that in after verifying our cars were able to program and cut the void return tape. Good tool! Buy it on sale here or the carista website, depending on who has the sale and purchase a month subscription. No need to buy more than that unless you work at the dealership. Even then mechanics rarely talk to customers. Fleet mechanics don’t usually work on Toyota or Lexus so kind of a limited market but well worth the purchase, imho.

Works great, looking forward to future features.
I just picked this up this morning and have already made some nice changes.My car is a 2024 Corolla Hybrid SE, made in Japan, bought in the US.The main things I wanted to change was (1) to remove the seatbelt warning and (2) enable all windows to be rolled down by using the key fob when the car was off. (1) was easy and worked perfectly. (2) worked as well, but there's a hitch. I also wanted to be able to roll them back up using the key fob but that's not an option as of now. I've seen YouTube videos of other Corolla that do have that feature unlocked so I'm not entirely sure why my car doesn't.In my search for that answer I discovered that the Carista App has a beta version that has a lot of other experimental features. Since those features are a work in progress you've got to understand that is may not work completely up to par. When I signed up to be a beta tester I was hoping that the window roll-up ability would be hidden in there but it wasn't. I don't have access to that at all. "Yet" I hope.I didn't really mess with any of the other features outside of customizing so I can't speak to the other 4 menus I skipped. I'm sure there's some good stuff in there.One last thing I'll mention: As of now the Carista OB2 things for sale on this page comes with a month long trial. In order to get that you've got to select the yearly subscription when you sign up. It won't charge that yearly price until you month is over and you can cancel it before is does.I'm summary, it's pretty neat! I really look forward to what other features these folks are going to bring to us. It's kinda cool!

Turn key and blinker turns on and trunk opens - this is what you are in for. beware.
doesnt provide many options, only needed for turning off the seatbelt chime. But then another use for it arose, and i had to pay an additional 30$ to use the thing, because it requires a monthly subscription. I would buy a nicer scanner that is not connecting to your phone and requiring subscriptions. I could see if it had full functionality, but it does basically nothing. Check engine lights it shuts off, turn back on instantly. Features like "turn key to the right and hold for 4 seconds and it rolls down all your windows". Well this feature causes your door to no longer unlock via the keyfob and now requires opening with the valet key. My fault for thinking this company wasnt money grubbing with a product that doesnt even deliver.1 star because it sucks.

a $60 device that will work for one month
You might think you are buying a $45 device will work forever. But you are buying a $60 device that will work for one month. The product description does not mention the app which requires a $15/month subscription. When I bought this, I had watched recent (6 month old) reviews that mentioned a free one month trial continuing at $10/month. So it seems they sent these out to reviewers and then stealthily raised the price. It is also not obvious how to cancel your subscription. On android, you must go to google play store, click on your profile, then go to payments & subscriptions.3 stars because with the device and the $15/month app I was able to change the settings I wanted and clear some codes and look at live data. I am debating returning the device now or holding on to it for future use (and who knows how much the subscription will be then)edit: 4 stars because I used it on my moms car also with no problem

Read This For the Real Story
Forget all the other reviews.And get the facts right here.I bought this for my 2024 tacoma after watching a ton of videos and reading online.I was aware of the app and the additional subscription to unlock ALL options.Stop being a crybaby about the cost. It was $29 for a whole year! It had far more options than what i could dream of i.e. the seatbelt buzzer, controlling volume limits, windows going up and down with key fob, and tons more features that were added for your key fob that I did not know were possible (with the few options my truck came with).My initial intention was to turn off the stupid seat belt buzzer when I'm getting my mail and that alone was worth the $29.It let me control beeping sounds, volume, engine controls, climate control, lighting options, all kinds of stuff I never knew I could alter and WITHOUT AFFECTING WARRANTY.If you want a tool that has no additional costs than spend the $600 for those tools but I caught this for $30 and the extra was well worth the Annual subscription.I literally plugged it in, downloaded the app, paod the $29 and it did the rest. Tons more options to control than what I mentioned but I literally just started using it today. I was hesitant when I saw the other reviews but seriously, I'm glad that I bought this. I am in no way affiliated or compensated by anyone for this review. I just thought something should be said.

Great product and very easy to use.
This allowed customization of my Tundra TRD PRO. Would highly recommend. Simple to use.
