Carista dongle help..not connecting
I purchased the carista dongle from amazon and plugged it in today. I cant seem to get it to be recognized on my iphone 6. Drove around with it for about an hour and still no adapter shows up in the phones bluetooth setting.
Dongle is plugged in and I see a red light. I have turned off/on the phone still no luck. Any suggestions/ https://www.amazon.com/Carista-Bluet...ywords=carista |

I don't think anyone has ever heard of this unit. I doubt it works for our cars.
Edit: I stand corrected. This is the first I've ever heard of this device. Good luck in getting it to work.

It works, but are you using the BimmerLink app? Open BimmerLink, set the adapter type to Bluetooth LE and automatic connect.

Have you downloaded the carista app? That's how I first connected mine. Also make sure it is fully seated in the OBDII port. I've had mine come loose a few times.

Hi all,
Is anyone still using the carista dongle with bimmerlink? I purchased the carista and am having difficulty getting it linked with bimmerlink. I can connect to the dongle on my phone but bimmerlink cannot detect the dongle, even when selecting different connection options. |
