Fancy changing setttings on your car without paying the dealer? Read on ...

[Kingy]

Ever wanted to change some settings on your car like, for example ... activate total closure with the remote fob (Keep the lock button pressed and it locks doors and closes all windows), activate auto headlights, or change the time delay on lights?

*If* your car is compatible, and the features are there to unlock you no longer have to be at the mercy of your dealer with his hourly rates. You just need this app ...

And on of these ELM327 OBD2 OBD-II bluetooth tools ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mbuynow-Bluetoot...LM327+V1.5

For more info on compatible cars have a look at their website: http://www.caristaapp.com/

There are in app purchases dependant on what you want to do, but even so they are much cheaper than dealers charges and you can try altering settings, then put them back if you don't like it.

This is an idea of what you can do ...
