Carista for personalization

You can't turn off the backup completely - you can reduce it to a single beep - I suspect that it is a safety issue.

 

0nce you make changes with Carista, it can send you an email with a list of your settings.

The list below is what Carista sent me after I made my changes on my 2016 Gen 4 almost 2 years ago. My selection is *bracketed*

It is possible that the list has been updated by Carista to include more or fewer options.

See below:

I doubt you can customize anything beyond what is u the owner's manual. There is a Customization section there that details all the customizations, including those needing special software. They charted it out because there is now two places for settings that the user can customize - the little MID and the larger MFD.
The backup beep can be reduced to 1 beep. My local dealer did that for free at the 5K check. I was so impressed with their work, I decided to do my own oil change at 10K to be sure it was done properly.
Unfortunately, your local dealer appears to be as clueless as mine. They said all Trim Two had black interior. I ended up driving 150 miles to purchase from a Gen 1 Prius owner and salesman at a different dealer. A knowledgeable Prius salesman is a rare gem indeed!

 

I'd read about the reverse beep & that the open windows with Long Press of FOB before I bought my car - while discussing the price, I said - I want these fixed or I don't buy the car - "Yes, sir, that will be done". Which it was.

 

Yeah, I meant to mention about the reverse beep but I forgot and I knew they were short staffed on a Sunday.

 

I appreciate your asking this GreenBean17 as I want to do the same thing. When you get a chance please give a review of your experience making the changes, as I'm also not that tech savvy.

 

Thank you so much, GreenBean17!

 

The Carista app does have a free month trial for their app. They won’t charge your credit card until the 30 days are up. You have the option to cancel before the 30 trial is up at which time you will not be charged.

 

Maybe it's paying through PayPal that jinxed you.

 

I just wanted to reduce the reverse beep down to 0 but 1 is the only option I got..okay then.

Now i want to lower the lock and unlocking sound the car makes. IMO its too loud.

The user manual that came with your car has a section called Customization. It lists all settings that can be changed and whether the dealer needs to make it.

 

Yeah -- I ended up teaching my salesman so much about the Prius that after we made a deal, I toyed with the idea of demanding an additional "tuition reduction" from the price to compensate me for sharing my knowledge with said salesman. . .

 

Remember, some of those things are required by law (mostly by regulations as opposed to directly statutory, I assume). For example, there's now a reg (I can't cough up the citation at the moment) that mandates the proximity sound generator for hybrids and electrics that we've learned are just too quiet (who'd have thought THAT was possible 20 years ago?). Accordingly, at least as to the Proximity Sound feature, I'm sure they've programmed the car so you CAN'T deactivate it. As for me, I'd just like to HACK it -- replacing the "polite, inoffensive car approaching" sound with, say, the sound of a straight-piped Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Now THAT would be amusing -- watching the reactions of pedestrians trying to process why that Prius sounds like something from an outlaw biker club!

 

Hey! I just bought the Carista OBD2 and completed my customization.

There is one option that I have no clue what it does. I can't find any documentation on this one...

Engine start indicator
*ON* / OFF

Any clue?

 

Ant ideas @Tideland Prius ? you have the manual.
