Took delivery last night and sent you the debug data this morning. Let me know if you didn't receive it.

Yes, got it and emailed you. Thanks and enjoy the car!

So basically, the answer is: yes, Carista will work on the 2016 S6. Please post your impressions (maybe in a new thread in the C7 forum) if you decide to try it. Thanks. One thing to note: checking for fault codes will be slow (for all C7 cars, currently). Our next app update will speed it up significantly.

In fact, you can help us by testing them and/or sending us debug data from your car. Please email us at support@caristaapp.com if you're interested. Thanks.
I'll do it tonight.

Thanks to other forum members, here is the coding that is needed:
Post facelift European Spec Tail Lights Coding for Q5 & Part Numbers
Different look for your Tail Lights

In short, the Europe/Rest of World taillights have separate amber turn signals and red brake lights. The US version lights up both sections together, for both signal and brake functions; they also make the turn signal red. To get the amber signal, taillight assemblies need to be replaced. But AFAIK, the programming is the same, hence the lights can be made to follow the EU/ROW pattern by changing settings alone. (Here is where Carista comes in.)

Thanks!

Thank you! We'll set this up and it should be available in one of our upcoming betas. Btw, your location says "between Vancouver and Vancouver"... does that mean Seattle? I was just there last week, we could have tested on-site. Oh well.

Got mine yesterday. Wondering if it safe to keep device attached to the port all the time?

Yes, the Eastside of Seattle. Sorry I missed you!

Some of them tend to heat up, so just make sure yours isn't.

The Carista device doesn't heat up (it has a low-power sleep mode), but we still don't recommend leaving it plugged into the car when you're not using it because you're potentially exposing your OBD port wirelessly to anyone walking by your car. Now, when the car is off, most of its computers are off too, so I don't know of any exploits of this that could do any harm to your car, but still, my recommendation is to plug in the device when you need it and unplug it when you're done and keep it in your glove box. As you know, it's really easy to plug and unplug - most Audis don't even have a cover on the OBD port.
