Hi, which device exactly did you get? (because our site lists a few different links to Amazon). The market has recently been flooded with these fake/defective devices... looks like you got one of them. We link to devices that look like they should work, but every seller may get them from a different manufacturer and so we can't guarantee that they'll all work. The links we provide are just samples to give you an idea. We don't make or sell those devices. But yes, please let me know which link you used, so we can take it down from our site. Thanks and sorry about the trouble. I'd recommend returning that device to the seller.

Some technical info: we recently added some logic in Carista to test the device's support for the ELM327 instructions that we use and display the error message that you got if they fail; these new fake devices don't support the ELM327 v1.4 instruction set (they're far from it), even though they claim to be v2.1.

Stan-
Amazon is very good about returns, once you complain. They aren't great on details but if you just say "DOES NOT WORK" and return it as defective, they'll even give you a prepaid return label, at least for Prime users, making it quick & simple.
Because Amazon inventory is "binned" with "the same" item from different sources all kept in the same inventory bin, they have a particular problem with real goods and counterfeit goods all being mixed into the same inventory bin--and no way to tell them apart if there is more than one vendor supplying them. Fwiw.

It's available in the current beta for Android, but we're getting reports that it doesn't work. Maybe it needs a restart of the MMI or the dash. You're welcome to try it by signing up here: Beta-Testing | Carista OBD2 - Vehicle Diagnostics and Customization

Already available
(not just in the beta, but in the regular version too)

EDIT: oops! never mind, it's not yet available on the Q5, just on the A4. It will be available in the next betas for Android and iOS.

We are currently in the process of implementing that functionality. In fact, we're looking for people to test it out for us. Would you be willing to join the beta and try it? An Android beta with that functionality will be available shortly, and an iOS beta will follow as well. Please PM me or send an email to support@caristaapp.com if you're willing to give it a try. Thanks very much!
